GDT: Game 2: Edmonton Oilers vs. San Jose Sharks: We're just slow starters. It's a trap!

[The Bored Man]

For a supposed first line player, Hemsky sure does a lot of dumb things.

 

[Tarus]

Hemsky loves being offside

I actually wondering if anyone has ever explained the offside rule to him yet

 

[Senor Catface]

Hemsky...one offside to rule them all.

 

[SDig14]

When Hemsky isn't toe dragging at the line to put his teammates offside he is skating in early to put them offside....guy has zero sense of what is going on at the blueline.

Loved seeing Gagner's hustle to get back there to help out the D as that penalty ended. Man oh man, this is night and day between the first and the past two periods. I can only think of one good scoring chance the Sharks have had since the end of the first. The Oilers have had at least a dozen.

 

[Mr Forever]

Harti on the PP!!

 

[Arpeggio]

Oilers probably could've been right back in this with a little luck. Inexcusable first period, but the rest of the game at least leaves fans with a bit of hope.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Gagner took his snow pants off for that rush

He's showcasing himself for Gillis.

I'm really liking Paajarvi's jump tonight, if he could play with that jump every night he is an NHL player.

 

[kurtcobang]

Why am i still seeing the fourth line? Think maybe its time to shorten the bench

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Good work Gags.

Yeah too bad we couldn't have made it pay off. He's made some good plays tonight in the 2nd and 3rd.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

That's a penalty, Mr. Boyle. That's a penalty!!!

Or Pavelski. Your choice. Just give us a PP.

 

[Sexington]

Come on boys. Super huge PP

 

[Loweryder]

I'd like to point out that Justin Schultz currently leads all players in TOI by over a minute at this point.

 

[Worraps]

Horcoff ...

 

[Horseradish]

Do or die here. Anything within 2 goals of SJ is a big building block coming off that 1st.

 

[McDNicks17]

Classic Hemsky.

Do something....

 

[dustrock]

Nah, keep 'em rolling. It's Game 2.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

That was a brutal PP.

 

[Worraps]

A lot of plays dying on Hemsky's stick tonight.

 

[DrDrai]

I know we wouldn't have won without hemsky but he has a 2 cent brain some days, I would look at using him as a centre piece to find a bigger 2nd line player, he just sat on the half boards and got the puck taken away

 

[The Perfect Human*]

Hall has had 5 of those "pass to no one" give-aways on the powerplay in 2 games this year. He's great at zone entry, but his decision-making after that is horrid.

 

[oilers2k10]

I would like to see Horcoff, Gagner, Hemsky, and Belanger at a four way intersection

 

[Senor Catface]

Hemsky hurts my brain.

 

[CanadianSuperPromise]

I like how the sharks call a time out before the oilers
