Post-Game Talk: I’d rather have gone to the dentist for a root canal

[Cloned]

Than watch this game. Closest thing to an actual guaranteed loss night in all of sports.

Soft plays by Keith, Bouchard, RNH and Koskinen sunk them tonight.

But McDavid could’ve broken Sittler’s single game goal record tonight and the Wild still probably would’ve beaten us.

I wouldn’t have batted an eye if they did this vs Preds but Minny man, this was unacceptable

 

[snipes]

Keith needs to do the right thing and retire.

Keith needs to do the right thing and retire.

Right now.

It's interesting that in a checking role on the 4th line, Yamamoto had a greater physical presence tonight that Kassian has had all year.

[McTedi]

That sucked, team was bad. I hate the Wild.

Holland better be asking the league for an official apology on the Kane / Hartman shit.

That's the most bullshit call I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of terrible calls in this league.

We won't win a damn thing with sub .800 goaltending. Embarrassing.

 

[Cloned]

At least Calgary is losing 3-1 to Seattle.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Not good enough

 

[TheNumber4]

D is garbage.

Offence can’t generate shit against good teams.

League and Refs are against us.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Some teams just have your number

Late Chicago Keith probably had another year or two in him. Oilers Keith who got rocked early, concussed and injured later is probably done.

 

[Broberg Speed]

I know Josh Archibald can't play in America and everyone hates him because he's a mass murdering fascist that eats puppies and can't hockey... but imagine the only hard nosed player in the Oiler's organization dishing out punishing body checks and making players pay the price? You know, giving a shit, and gives you everything he's got. Then again he might infect the team with uh... something.

"I would want to play them in the playoffs." probably entire wild locker room right now.

Yup. Wild seem to bury every chance they get against us.

Under 3 expected goals is 5+ every time.

He had a concussion last year as well.

Fed up with people justifying this awful 5.5 million cap hit. Were going to lose a good player this summer with a decade of upside to give Keith a retirement when he's done nothing for us.

He might infect the team with losing the puck, over chasing to throw a meaningless hit, then getting scored on?

Isn't that kind of exactly the unforced errors that lost us this game?

Last playoffs he infected the team with bad penalties. Is that the infection we’ll be missing come playoffs?

 

[ZJuice]

No shut out despite the whining of Wild’s coach Gaviscon. We did it!!!!!

 

[Oilhawks]

Hope to see the Mild underperform in the playoffs yet again.

 

[Tarus]

Embarrassing game, outworked all night while the defense wilted under the forecheck.

Kane trying to fight 4 players while the rest of the Oilers on the ice(outside of Yamo who was getting buried) tentatively try to figure out if they're supposed to help reminds me of the 2011 - 14 Oiler teams. Fighting may be obsolete in the NHL, but dirty players and after the whistle scrum-warriors are all the rage, and the Oilers appear to be the only team in the NHL that didn't get the memo

 

[OfCorsiDid]

I hope the Wild get a new arena eventually. The Xcel Energy Center is the house of horrors for this franchise.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Shame I can’t change my name again.

Yeah, probably the only underdog they wouldn’t choke to.
