Post-Game Talk: Never met an overpass they didn't like

[bobbythebrain]

He was absolutely awful through 60 mins and was a turnover machine. Played with zero intensity with and without the puck.

Probably a calculus by Knoblauch that he was ripe to f*** it up.

If that really is the reason Knobby is a moron then. Just another BS coach going thru the same BS motions

Decides to punish Bouchard but let's Darnell play like dogsh*t all year. Especially in that Dal game where he takes a dumb penalty, a 10min misconduct then gifts them 2 goals, yet zero accountability by Knobby.

But hey, let's stand on our soap box and punish our 80 point dman.

If we win against Vancouver we can still win out and win the division.

 

[TB12]

Vancouver will humilate them tomorrow
Oilers are disgusting

Honestly dude, your act wore thin the last time you were on here. Now that you've created a new account it's a joke. Just stop.

I imagine I'm one of the few that doesn't have you on ignore so just shut up. You're an "abject failure".

 

[ujju2]

Better for the Oilers to not win the Pacific. I wouldn't want to face Nashville in the first round.
LA or Vegas are better options.

Disagree. Oilers have always matched up well against the Preds. Definitely can't say the same for a healthy Vegas.

 

[Despote]

Disagree. Oilers have always matched up well against the Press. Definitely can't say the same for a healthy Vegas.

Tough to tell between regular season and playoffs though. Oilers owned Jets in the bubble but got swept in the playoffs.

With LA we know how we match up against them in playoff hockey, and all our regular season games have been close to playoff intensity for the last couple of seasons too.

All I know is I want to avoid VGK for the 1st round.

 

[Mav3rick07]

Way too many players on this team that are a liability playing 3 on 3 hockey. Watching the third period winding down knowing McDavid wasn’t playing tonight and I was crossing my fingers that we could survive OT and take our chances in the shootout. What a wasted opportunity tonight.

We looked sooo slow in overtime, that was hard to watch.

I would have liked to see Holloway in OT. He has great wheels.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Pretty obvious their minds werent really on last night's game. Got a point and still control their destiny to winning the division. My guess is McDavid goes to tonight.

 

[guymez]

Too many guys operating at half throttle. Looked slow in overtime. Missed Mc-D's speed in the extra frame.

No matter, the playoffs are a different season and then you see what you really have.

I agree.
No point in making too much of this game. The team was tuned out tonight.

Actually I think that Arizona deserves a ton of credit. They impressed me.

These posts are ridiculous Darnell has not played like dog shit all year ffs

One of those incredibly frustrating games defined by a lack of finish. Part of that, as the thread title suggests, attributable to overpassing. Bouchard in the slot passing off to RNH in the first. Draisaitl passing to Nurse in overtime. Both passes where shooting was clearly the better option. Both passes caught in the skates of the recipient.

Henrique suggested that they were looking past this game to Vancouver so hopefully that's the case and they come out guns blazing.

not that he’s the reason they lost but man Leon just let it fly.

It feels like he's lost confidence in his shot. Either that or an injury affecting his shooting mechanics because, in previous years, he shoots that.

 

[MoontoScott]

They have been much better than I thought they would be this season.

Give them full credit for not giving up and playing the spoiler.

 

[Duke74]

I just don’t see what some fans are seeing in Holloway.

He "hustles," which is apparently worth more than actual results.

 

[guymez]

Give them full credit for not giving up and playing the spoiler.

Especially with all the the uncertainty swirling around the team.

Gonna be a tough one next week, with the Yotes playing their final game in Arizona that night.

Good point.
That will be emotional for them for sure.

 

[yukoner88]

And what about low clearance overpasses?

Anyone remember the rat tunnel?

East Coast is loaded with them too.

 

[dssource]

I could care less about a 3 on 3 loss in OT, as that means nothing for playoffs.

Was expecting the team to play about 20 minutes, and they played about 30. Leon had a slow game (many in the gdt said he had a quiet game) and with Connor out of the lineup, the rest of the team absolutely dominated a yotes team that came out hard and with purpose. I was very happy with the game last night and how the Oilers played. It could easily have gotten out of hand if we didn't hit (at least) 5 bars or miss the net on the loads of shots we had.

2 regulation goals against once again. Love this team going into playoffs.

Him and McDavid could both be 50 goal scorers this year if they opted to force passes less.

I really hope they curb that habit in the playoffs or it will cost them.

sorry, my bad. He's played like ass only 80% of the season. And I'm sure you think it's me being ridiculous but everyone from Lowetide to Terry Ryan has blasted him for a poor season

Not sure what you're watching to think otherwise

[Mr Kot]

Good on the fans that are seeing them off. Sad, but at the same time, a much needed change. Bittman couldn't keep the charade going g.

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

So to be viable all Arizona needs is for all their home games to be the last home game ever.

This is the right response. I won’t piss on a teams fans when they are losing their team nor the cost of tickets to see them off. I remember the Oilers to Houston era. It wasn’t fun and thankfully never came to be because of Cal Nichols and his many friends.. I can only imagine how the real fans in AZ feel (ironically probably the same as Winnipeg fans did in 1996).

Probably all Oiler fans outbidding each other for tickets.
