Post-Game Talk: Have you pissed in a river? - Oilers Blowout Pens 6-1

[Ritchie Valens]

I wonder how Dubas felt watching Hyman score his 42nd goal tonight

There’s a gif for that.

 

[Cloned]

There’s a gif for that.

Share the joy Mr. Valens.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Not bad

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Share the joy Mr. Valens.

As you wish…

Hey man, atleast he didn't lose a trade.

 

[Dieseloil]

Oil jumped all over a team feeling sorry for themselves after imploding against the Cowpie last night. Exactly like they should. Now play that way against the Bruins, keep it close, don’t get behind early.

Probably so proud of himself for holding out and really sticking it to the Oilers by not trading his rights so we could tack on the extra year and bring down hid AAV.

**** Dubas. Glad he is the mess he is in though I have nothing but respect for Crosby.

 

[Dieseloil]

I found it weird as well when I noticed as well

Please for the love of gawd, do not play Nurse and Ceci together ever again, it is a dumpster fire if there ever was one. Constantly hemmed in and easy outs were picked off.

 

[tiger_80]

That 42-goal man is high.

 

[Morpheus]

McDavid only 8 points back of Kucherov (mcD with 5 less games played) and Drai enters the top ten in scoring:

The Pickard signing is looking good Compared to how Campbell was playing

 

[The Panther]

I can't believe how bad the Pens look vs. Edmonton these days. Just not a good match-up for them.

Remember the Oilers' easiest, walkover win last season? It was in Pittsburgh, late in the season. Something like 7-2 Edmonton...

I personally like Ceci and I hope they keep him, but something had to be done about the Nurse / Ceci pairing. I dunno, maybe this pairing of him with Vinnie will work...

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Just checking in if Skinner and Pickard are still not good enough of a tandem post deadline? Because @Soundwave specifically identified Nedeljkovic as a target because of his tremendous high-danger SV% but less than 2 weeks ago...

No, they still aren’t a good enough post deadline tandem…

Pickard looks a lot quicker than Skinner. Glove hand is very good.

 

[FlameChampion]

To parrot my own comment from the gdt, he just might be a Tim Thomas-very-light. Bounced around, not given much opportunity, then hits 30 and finally finds his game. I’m not saying he’s going to become a starting goalie and become a Vezina winner, but to have some solid reliability in the backup role has been a pleasant surprise from him.

He kinda reminds me of Alex Lyon from last year. And Alex Lyon has been very good this year. He’s basically saved Detroit season because Husso has been junk.

Pickard looks a lot quicker than Skinner. Glove hand is very good.

Rebound control also. He’s actually the better goalie of the 2.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Rebound control also. He’s actually the better goalie of the 2.

You would say that if the Oilers had a 43 year old Ilya Bryzgalov in goal right now, you're deeply unserious any conversation about the Oilers' goaltending.

 

[tardigrade81]

Nice to get a glow out win for a change
By glow I mean blow

 

[CupofOil]

Goddaaaaaaaaamn, Bouch and Ekholm.

They're an elite pairing in this league especially in the offensive zone. Yeah, I said it. They also play with the McDavid line a lot but they own possession a lot even away from the McDavid line. Really need to boost that Nurse pairing and it's all systems go for the defense.

Ya in retrospect... they could have signed like 6 Pickard level goalies instead of Campbell and went with the shotgun approach of hoping to find one good one in the batch instead of plunking down big money for a not sure thing in Campbell,

 

[LTIR]

I mean, more of a pity star than a Star star.

View attachment 828983

Ah well. Probably his best game of the year?

Yes, Smith and Janmark should have the first 2 stars. Lol @ pity star

 

[OilynutEsquire]

Holloway and Gagner seemed to show quite a bit of chemistry last night. Gagner should stay in the lineup over Brown and Ryan, give Holloway someone with at least a pulse offensively

 

[FlameChampion]

I thought the McDavid goal was encouraging. He got that off pretty quickly and with decent velocity. If he’s injured, hopefully it’s getting better.
