Post-Game Talk: Out Goalied Oilers lose to the Wild again

[tardigrade81]

Wild own us

Remember that time I said, “I’m feeling confident with our current goalies”

Hahahahaha. Good times.

Hey Holland,

You might need to prioritize goaltending at the deadline.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Wild could be the worst team in the league and they'd still beat us.

Unacceptable loss

 

[McFlyingV]

Terrible finishing and terrible goaltending. Not much more to say about that one. On to the next one.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Perhaps we could start the game at puck drop instead of halfway through it?

Just a thought.

 

[Da McBomb]

Shitty ass goaltending

 

[OilerMcLord]

Talk about a complete bullshit result in a game that the Oilers deserved to win.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Pickard wasn't good enough and they didn't have enough finish.

 

[CupofOil]

Great effort so can't be too mad but goalied, posted and reffed and.... you get a loss to that mid as f*** team.

 

[mkatcherin00]

Minnesota is that guy who just decided to stay home and collect CERB instead of working so he could make a couple hundred extra

 

[Canovin]

Respect the team to not make a PGT 2 mins before the game is over

 

[Oilhawks]

Get a real back up. Please FFS

 

[Cloned]

If the last game was chaos, this one was pure frustration.

 

[Leonardlizard]

Stupid mistakes

 

[I am the Liquor]

This will prompt them to call up soup.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Minny sucks but Pickard sucks more. Tough loss to watch, lots of dominance but no finish. Defensive lapses because they start forcing things due to frustration, another common theme with this team.

 

[Stoneman89]

Pickard was amazing, give the man a 3 year extension!

 

[mkatcherin00]

That's about 4 solid games at least that we lost but should have won.

They even out too though

 

[DrDrai]

Another game where we make a teams goalie seem like a vezina winner.

Happens way too often, it’s an issue, so is goaltending.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Perhaps we could start the game at puck drop instead of halfway through it?

Just a thought.

It was 1-1 going into the third. Edmonton peppered the shit out of Gustafson. They scored on 2 of 3 shots in the third, all three goals allowed by Pickard were stoppable.

If the Oilers had a guy like how Markstrom has been this year for Calgary, that’s probably a 5-2 win the other night and a 2-0 win tonight.

 

[Cloned]

Honestly I think they need a fun shooting practice.

They’re aiming way too fine right now.

 

[BlackDogg]

Get a real back up. Please FFS

Skinner should be the backup

 

[OddManRush]

This might be a blessing in disguise.

When a team like Minnesota *consistently* dummies you, they either “have your number” or continually expose you as a pretender.

I pray Ken will see it as the latter and hopefully make the necessary upgrades to make us a contender and not a pretender

 

[McFlyingV]

Great effort so can't be too mad but goalied, posted and reffed and.... you get a loss to that mid as f*** team.

Does kind of blow my mind that we are -19 in powerplay opportunities despite having some of the most skilled players and elite possession metrics.
