Post-Game Talk: Nashville 4 Edmonton 0

[Raab]

Watching Saros' highlight reel from the night it just reiterates how poorly Brossoit has done. I don't recall seeing him steal us any games.

Saros will be a legit #1 once Nashville decides to trade him IMO.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Give me a break! This game was bad luck pure and simple, no bounces our way 3 bounces going for Nashville and a 5-3 goal. Thats it, even our first 2 PP were good, the last one was brutal however.

Crap teams blame bad luck. This team just isn't very good in any aspect, least of all goaltending/special teams.

 

[McGoMcD]

Even if they do find their scoring touch again, they can't outscore opponents with the goaltending they've been getting all year.

I have no clue what Chiarelli sees in LB. Ever since he entered the league as a back up he's been brutal. Why does he keep getting so many chances?

Exactly. we are dead last in the NHL in SV %, that mostly has to fall on the goalies. Why Chia has stuck with Brossiot?

 

[Mez]

The game is not on Brossiot, but how come we can never get the games where our goalie steals it for us? There should be a handful or more games a year that your goalie steals the show...we have not had that this year.

 

[CycloneSweep]

This team is where it is because we have an awful special teams, bad coaching and probably the worst goaltending tandem stats wise in the league

 

[shoop]

I'll reiterate, please explain to me which goal you critics expected Brossoit to save?

That fourth goal he was slow coming across.

Please explain how many goals the Oilers would have given up with an average backup playing in net. Quid pro quo.

Draisatls contract is looking worse than lucic's game by game

Welcome, you already seem to have a handle on tossing out ridiculous claims that will make you look silly within a few days.

Switch goalies and it's 7-1 Oilers.

I still think 3, at the very least 2.

 

[Yablo21]

I'm all for crapping on the Oilers when they play like garbage. They played hard right to the end and didn't get a goal.

So does Nashville lose if its 3-0 then? Cant score, cant PK, this team is built wrong.

Because he's dumb, or did you not check out his offseason work?

 

[CupofOil]

Crap teams blame bad luck. This team just isn't very good in any aspect, least of all goaltending/special teams.

That poster isn't wrong. They actually played very well most of the game but this is just one of those games where bad reffing (the 1st goal) and bad bounces in a couple minute stretch did them in, not to mention that the goalie can never come up with a big save when they really need it.

Moral victories do nothing for them at this point but by and large they have been playing a better brand of hockey the last 10 games or so which sadly is all we really have to hope for at this point.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Croissant is 3-4 as a starter with ~ a 3.16 GAA with a .887 GAA.

But, but, but the losses aren't on him.

Edmonton got shutout in two of those losses. What do you want him to do, go coast to coast?

 

[shoop]

Answer the question Croissant-apologist. How many goals do the Oilers give up with an average backup playing in net? Quid pro quo?

 

[Moregoalspls]

Drai will be fine long term. He's a better player than Lucic or RNH. Can't blame the guy for taking advantage of Chiarelli.

Is he going to be better than those 2 though? I've seen one great season where he played wing with mcdavid.

 

[Soundwave]

I'm all for crapping on the Oilers when they play like garbage. They played hard right to the end and didn't get a goal.

Yeah I agree. Give it to em when they play like crap. Tonight was not one of those nights.

Nashville plays like that and we play like that and 9/10 times we win that game. Is what it is.

I'll gladly take that exact same effort next game.

They're not making the playoffs, but at least they're playing hard.

The posts around here are getting worse and worse game by game.

In the Leafs shutout that goal against was horrible, and the only goal of the game. How is that not on Croissant? If for nothing else costing the Oilers one point.

 

[Soundwave]

Yes. Not even a question in my mind. He is a flat out better player with better hockey sense than either of those guys, just in a funk.

They certainly outworked the Preds but they didn't outsmart them. The Oilers have very few dangerous weapons because nobody can shoot worth a damn. Super easy shutout for Saros tonight.

The Oilers are amazing at working hard at accomplishing nothing.

Because the Oilers had 59:26 to tie the game. If you're going to blame anyone or anything for that loss it was the PP failing to score on a two minute 5-on-3.

 

[Moregoalspls]

Yes. Not even a question in my mind. He is a flat out better player with better hockey sense than either of those guys, just in a funk.

I really hope so

I wouldn't say "super easy". Saros was fortunate on quite a few occasions too.

I'll take that same game from them on Saturday.
