Post-Game Talk: Flames 3 Oilers 2 - four losses in a row

[KarmaPolice]

Let Montoya start the last 3 games.

Might as well see how well he can play in the last few games so we see if we need to sign another goalie (if Chia is reading this: Yes. Yes we do). Though ideally he's probably your 3rd goalie, we just never have had a proven backup because Chia is gonna Chia.

Team has killed my will to complain about non-calls on us. It really makes no dif at all. Thanks for taking that away from me Woodcroft and McLellan.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Also I laughed

Reid already putting in a good name for himself if Gene gets fired.

 

[MettleMcOiler]

Montoya seems to be steller when he comes into the game cold but seems to struggle when you give him starts. If only he could somehow transfer that play when he starts a game. He seems to like the reinforcement "here comes the cavalry" role, too bad he can't be more of a front line goalie.

 

[McDaddy]

Don't wanna see Cam back here again.

 

[shoop]

Even if we lose the last 3, there is a decent chance we fall out of the top 10 for drafting

Do explain?

The Oilers would have the seventh pick now. Losing the last three would leave them sixth at best (worst?). The most they can fall is three spots which would be the ninth pick.

 

[McAsuno]

I think Bear could be that guy... well on 2nd unit anyway... they still should get another good PP dman.

Yet wasn't used. McLellan and Woodcrap are utter dog shit. Nice to see them talking with the clipboards covering their mouths. Probably discussing on how to negate a PP goal for us per usual.

 

[Mez]

Team is full of players without a shooters’ mentality.

That includes McDavid.

Yah what a fkn plug... 13th in the entire league for shots and 41 goals.... why would you even bring him up for that argument?????

 

[Bryanbryoil]

These coaches are garbage worst pp I have ever seen

T-Mac is hoarding timeouts like a squirrel hoarding nuts. This is the worst bench managing coach I have even seen, roll all 4 lines, no timeouts, pull the goalie 1-2 goals too late, the list goes on and on. Hate Chia all you want, this coach is ****ing terrible.

They kept the clock ruining after the whistle blew

Yup, more BS. Oh well it's not like a win would've done anything anyway. This coaching staff needs to gtfo the second the season ends, no exit interviews with the players from them, just the GM and Keith Gretz.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Bad starter. Bad defense. Bad powerplay.

Coaching.. I am baffled why they're not using time-outs.. Give the guys a rest ,a chance to reset.. whatever.. It has some value in the right situations. I keep harping on the same thing because I just don't understand..

 

[Foppberg]

What happened to RNH? Is he going to be okay?

 

[Soundwave]

Flames are as soft as Charmin toilet paper, thanks Tankbot for the L.

 

[frag2]

I think Bear could be that guy.

It’s pretty sad that Bear is our best D option for our PP.

No one else on D can do shit with the puck.

Sekera - shoots to hit bodies, not the net
Russell - thinks the puck is a grenade
Larsson - wild card because not enough offensive looks but historically, already know to lack offensive thinking
Nurse - Ive never seem a player that is so highly touted yet the moment the puck is on his stick, it’s a cluster f***
Auvitu - just sucks

Hell, I hate Klef and I’d rather him than everyone else but Bear

Thanks Chia

When the PP is this bad, McDavid should just shoot it every decent opportunity he gets. But then we might actually score a PP goal on occasion, so he'd get benched from the PP by Woodcroft for not listening to his brilliant "make 100 passes first" strategy. Pass until the goalie passes out from exhaustion. I really can't discern any strategy at all, and maybe that's what's so troubling.

 

[YakDavid]

Yah what a fkn plug... 13th in the entire league for shots and 41 goals.... why would you even bring him up for that argument?????

He should be first. The amount of chances he gets and doesn't shoot is a problem

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Might as well see how well he can play in the last few games, and maybe earn a new contract. Though ideally he's probably your 3rd goalie, we just never have had a proven backup because Chia is gonna Chia.

I think he still has another year left, but I don't know what to do about Talbot.

Goaltending is the one job where if you can't get shit done, you need to get someone who will.

Did he play well?

I’m not saying he’s a bad player. Everyone played horrible.

I’m fully aware of how good he is so no need to get your panties in a knot

 

[Spawn]

Don't want to see Talbot back. He hasn't had one hot streak that I can recall and has let in the first shot over ten times I believe. Montoya should have started.

Bad memory I guess.

Literally just before these past 4 games he had an 8 game stretch where he went 7-1 with a 1.86GAA and a .948sv%

 

[CycloneSweep]

What happened to RNH? Is he going to be okay?

Getting ready to be traded for Hosang

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Built to compete in the Pacific!!

Osterle and Davidson weren’t too bad with the first pass

 

[PulYou]

 

[The Head Crusher]

Well at least Pillar Stole 2nd, 3rd, and home today

 

[frag2]

Exactly. It’s almost like he was trying to get Drai a goal instead himself putting one in.

Too bad pointing it out somehow makes it look like you’re shitting on the player

 

[yukoner88]

Is Raanta the guy we put a flyer in on for next year?
