Post-Game Talk: Canucks 3, Oilers 2 (SO)

[Del Preston]

No way they should lose that. Maybe in 2017 the coach will pull his head out of his ass.

Just a weak effort all around.

Unnacceptable.

 

[t0nedeff]

Nuge always misses in the shootout better put him out when you need to score or you lose perfect sense.

 

[calvinguy]

OMG why the **** did we not put MCDAVID and EBERLE out on the shootout??

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

About a week ago the Canucks slept through a game in Calgary. Props to them for actually deciding to play against us.

 

[oXo Cube]

Missed Sekera big time in this game. Gryba was a clown show all night long.

Not the Oilers best game obviously but they are really getting good at grinding out loser points at the very least.

Markstrom was a wall for Vancouver.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Markstrom was exceptional… but still no reason to lose this one. We were really sloppy in our own zone leading to sustained pressure for the Nucks, especially the first half of the 3rd.

I thought our offensive pressure was fine, need to sharpen up the D-zone.

I think this team needed a learning experience loss, I am happy we got a point out of this learning experience.

And on that note trashzona flubbed the game against the flames tonight.

Agreed, Markstrom was money.

I don't know why teams mail it in vs Calgary.

Don't be that guy.

Im sure you loved it when Test scored in the last 3 shootouts. Drai has been money lately, nothing wrong with that selection.

 

[VainGretzky]

Tmac really irratates me at times. Brutal so lineup. McDavid and Caggiula were feeling it tonight. But he goes 1st and has his lover who struggled all game take 1st shot. Letestu has done same move last 4 so attempts goalies are on to him. Tmac has horrible instincts horrible.

Gryba showing why he is a 7/8 dman, missing Sekera bigtime...the guy comes up big 3 on 3

 

[oobga]

So much garbage play in our zone. Weak links on the team were extra weak tonight.

Guaranteed high quality chances against when the 3rd pair or 4th line were on the ice.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Phoenix is only good against us.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Time to put Puljujarvi on McDavid's right side. Let him have a few games, it can't hurt.

That almost end to end rush he had tonight where he squeezed past the check and sent a beautiful cross ice pass to Pouliot that should've been a simple one timed tap in was a hell of a play.

 

[GMofOilers]

Props to Markstrom wow he made some big saves.

We had more then enough chances to win, take the point and move on.

 

[Gone]

I wonder how much of TM's refusal to move Lucic away from McDavid for any length of time has to do with PC promising Lucic if he signed in Edmonton, he would be McDavid's wingman.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

If Todd put Eberle in the shootout he'd be nailed to a cross.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Oilers haven't won a New Years game since 1985

Only 31 years hahaha
This one had loss written all over from the beginning

 

[VainGretzky]

This is not correct

 

[K1984]

Don't be that guy.

Sure there is. Letestu is one thing, Drai has very little SO experience and hasn't been great when he's done it.

We have arguably the best player in the world that was laser hot to finish the game and a consistent SO producer in Eberle on the bench. Stupid. Absolutely no excuse for it.

That was the definition of overthinking it.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Pretty **** poor performance. At least they got a point.

 

[SK13]

I mean... I'll take the point.

Fourth line was pretty bad and we desperately miss Sekera. Luckily he should be back for Tuesday.

Drai has more SO goals than McDavid.

People would've flipped their **** if Eberle took a shot and missed.
