Post-Game Talk: Not good enough.

[guymez]

Down a man there’s no excuse not to control and move that puck if need be. Our execution and poise was all off tonight. It’s not how our PP vs their PK will look moving forward. It can easily flip back with some execution and poise when we get back to our top level game imo.

Well...its that classic sports conversation around if the defence affected the other teams ability to execute or if the offence just didnt execute well enough on their own accord.
In this game I'm inclinced to give their PK a little more credit.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Mr Foegele has played himself out of whatever contract he thought he'd be getting this offseason

It was never a question for me at any time.

 

[guymez]

He better be 100%. I didn’t like his lack’s seam coverage on the PK, so it’s a risk there to mess with something that’s working.

Hard to imagine that he would bring less than Perry.

 

[McJC]

Man this feels awfully similar to last year. I really hope they come out and own Gm 6 but I really don't know anymore

 

[McAsuno]

 

[guymez]

Probably Perry. Maybe Foegele. Maybe both and put Carrick in.

I think that Perry makes sense.

With how we looked in general at 5s I wouldn’t give them too much credit and I’d say we just weren’t at our best. But yes it’s a classic debate, could go either way. We will find out in games 6 AND 7.

here comes Saturday..regading his other 18 players

 

[walktheboulavard]

Just hasn’t been there. I’ve said this last year as well and was bombarded on here for it but McDavid just hasn’t really strung together a good run outside of 2022. 2 goals through 10 games ain’t it.

No that's not remotely enough from the best player in the world. It's put up or shut up time. If you gotta start cross checking guys to afford space then so be it. The refs are looking the other when they're water skiing you anyways. No excuses anymore, put pucks in net.

And the Timberwolves absolutely eviscerated the Nuggets by 50 tonight.

When is the last time the Oilers decisively destroyed a team like that in a big game? We don't have that dog in us.

Not enough players with the dog in us for sure. Prime example of the dog is Ekholm taking a hit to make a play last game. Just not enough of those. None of these finesse drop passes and spin cycle maneuvers. Punch em in the mouth and create space for yourself.

 

[McAsuno]

No f***ing shit. Ken Holland's a piece of shit.

 

[oil Leaks]

Should have inserted fresh legs into this game.

 

[scotchtapejr]

No henrique or Carrick in the lineup.
We gave up a first for nothing lol

 

[RandomGuy79]

This series has also put the gretz mcdavid debate to rest.

There is no ways Wayne would have only 1 goal Vs the f***ing Vancouver Canucks.

Even the 2006 Oilers would destroy this team.

 

[Oilhawks]

Both of these coaches are reactive idiots, to be fair, like most of them

Far too much loyalty to players that have sucked for most of the playoffs

Will Ceci finally draw out? LOL yeah right

 

[MessierII]

No f***ing shit. Ken Holland's a piece of shit.

I really don’t think it matters. If McDavid is going to get owned by JT miller doesn’t really matter what second pair d you add.

 

[TheNumber4]

Hard to imagine that he would bring less than Perry.

One of the better chances we got in the last 40 minutes was Perry’s net front jam play. Besides Henriques snipe I don’t remember much from him in driving individual offence, that said Henrique a smart player than can contribute without being a driver. So yeh I’d like to see him in as long as he’s healthy, cause if he’s not 100% we can’t risk any mistakes.

 

[McAsuno]

Should have inserted fresh legs into this game.

I'd play Carrick and Gagner next game. Players like Foegele and Perry need to sit. McLeod playing like the most perimeter forward I've ever seen too. All that skating speed and he does nothing with it.

 

[Shanahanigans]

In the last 14 months Vancouver has added Lindholm Zadorov Hronek Soucy who have all been impact players. Holland has added….an injured 34 year old Henrique who can’t centre his own line.

They had the depth and balls to take out an entire line of Lafferty Mikheyev Karlsson because they were “passengers” and were rewarded with absolutely no passengers tonight. Huge indictment of this organization.

 

[Pavel10]

Even the 2006 Oilers would destroy this team.

The Canucks are the 2006 oilers. They're hitting everything that moves and have 1 genuine superstar their #1 dman.

 

[BIeucheeseWithWings]

I'd love for our leaders to hold themselves accountable in the same way Miller has.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Foegs at least goes into the dirty areas.

It’s not even just the lack of hits with McLeod it’s his refusal to even get into a rough board battle or scrum. The playoffs are a battle and you can’t have a soldier that won’t go over the trench.

 

[Old Boys Club]

I see some are starting the fire the coach train already. Surely this teams suck has nothing to do with Nurse-Ceci playing 2nd pairing minutes, being forced to run a 32 y/o AHL journeyman as a starter, and having geriatrics like Ryan and Perry in the bottom 6.

I think that Henriques net front play has been more impactful than Perry.
I also like that Henrique is a center.

He also has much younger legs.

We aren’t losing here on depth. We are losing because the best player in the world is being destroyed by JT Miller.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Did Stauffer, the clown, really suggest on 630 CHED that they should play Skinner?
