Lol who called it that they'd now say going on the road will be a good reset.

You thrust your pelvis, huh!
Truly the state of our defense.
Sooo... why didn't we get any help back there again?
Nah, Eberle did break a sweat I think once ... during a game against Colorado.
In fairness to Chia, unless you have some magical time machine, it's impossible to forsee Oscar Klefbom playing worse than Mark Fayne.
We probably literally win that game if Fayne is in for Klefbom, I'm not even joking.

Is it just me or are we throwing the puck around the boards in the offensive zone to0 aggressively?, because I saw multiple times where our players couldn't get to the puck in time or is the players not being the correct positions? I swear no one knows where anyone is on our team. They are throwing the puck expecting someone to be there!
I don’t really get the McDavid hate. If that post had gone in and Maroon had scored on the breakaway, y’all be singing his praises. He’s not even close to the problem.

Anybody who thought this defensive group was going to be good enough wasn't looking at the numbers. Chiarelli had a timebomb to fix and he instead chose to go status quo.
It's unlucky that regression seems to have kicked in for everybody but Nurse all at the exact same time--all while Sekera is on the IR--but the potential was always there and they chose not to fix it.

Well who signed his extension...?
The defense is garbage right now. It really misses Sekera.

I like most of what Chiarelli has done since he came here but he badly failed this summer wrt the defense.

That's really bordering on unfair. You damn well know even you did not forsee this from Klefbom.
Dude is playing like his brain is back in Sweden. IMO he's single handedly pissed away two games for us ... this one and the Vancouver game. We could be 3-2 instead of 1-4 if he would freaking wake up.

There is no point in blaming McDavid and the forwards imo. When the G is so weak and you're playing catch-up 20s into the game, that's got to be very disheartening. Except the Calgary game, they were always chasing the other team, unable to rely on decent D and G.

LB won't last long in this league. Terrible lateral movement on that PP goal. Also, should have been going for the poke check on the 5th goal.

Hate to be "that guy", but we needed a f***ing save tonight. With that said we made some braindead mistakes tonight. To me it seemed like we would dominate for a long stretch then shoot ourselves in the foot with a dumb mistake.
Shining light was Yamo, holy f*** was he good tonight.

People blaming goaltending sound a lot like Flames fans from the last few years.
Doesn't matter who you have in net if your defense plays as horrendously as the Oilers has been since the first game.
