Post-Game Talk: So much bad

[Cloned]

Still pretty convinced McDavid continues to house an injury that is impacting his shooting form. So it either hurts when he's trying to shoot or something is off. Oblique injury?

It has to be something. He’s passing in wide open shooting positions.

Back to back losses to the Wild and Flames. Like getting kicked in the left nut followed by righty.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Yeah, no, not gonna talk about this game tonight. Got rum to drink.

G'night all

It's either this or some other chronic problem. The time passage is a bit concerning on this

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Skinner is not even a 1B

f***ing hell...there plenty of 3A goalies with better movements.

 

[Stealth1616]

I loved the Kane cross check not gonna lie

 

[CycloneSweep]

I’m sorry but I hate the Knob.

Get fired up. Yell at someone. Throw something. Show some f***ing emotion for 2 seconds you’re on the biggest hockey stage.

It’s wild to me that we full on gave him a multi year contract after 0 NHL experience as coach. Give him and Coffey credit for helping adjust the dplay for a while but this team looks just as bad as they did at the start of the year and the coaching staff is making some baffling ducking decisions now.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Is McDavid not shooting as much because he wants to hit 100 assists (something only a few players have ever done)?

I've heard a lot of talk that he doesn't care about the points this year, he cares about winning. Gunning for 100 assists and not taking the shots that are there seems a bit selfish to me. I don't know this is the case, I'm just throwing it out there.

You stole my post (no problem though). He might be over-passing because he can't really shoot. Those rib injuries have a habit of coming back.

We’re back to giving up tons of open looks. Our defensive zone coverage is a mess right now.

10 straight games of .800 or worse Goaltending does that to you.

No team has good structure when they don't trust their Goaltender to make saves.

Which btw, one more bad have from Skinner and his sv% on the year will be below .900 again.

Smart man. On to the next one

 

[bellagiobob]

Holland just salivating at his perfect move

Twitter tomorrow “the oilers have recalled Jack Campbell”

I actually fully expect it. And sadly it’s not the worst move they could make right now.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Glad I checked out early but gotta say, Skinner being given the starter position (out of desperation) is ultimately going to be detrimental to his development and obviously to the team's success.

Team has been screwed with subpar goaltending for years and I don't see any real fix coming. Maybe it'll be Rodrigue but I doubt it

 

[McDrai]

Looking at the schedule, I don’t think we make the playoffs unless if there is a massive addition or two at the deadline.

 

[Not Canada Drai]

I've been tooting this horn forever, it's shocking for an NHL goaltender. His athleticism is 0.

 

[DaGap]

Heh blaming the goalie lmfao

Well, can't make our Goaltending worse unfortunately.

I'll see you in court!!

C'mon your tough! Switch over to Scotch like myself for that extra boost, we'll be discussing a lot about Brown and Skinner

 

[DrDrai]

Honest question, aside from the needs of the team, does this team/core have the mental fortitude to win when it gets tough?

Or do we need 4 coaches that rotate every 20 games to get results?

With frozen boots on a cold day

Janmark is good recently. Hyman is good. That's about it

Systems win in life.

When you do something over and over again and do it similar, you will be productive, efficient, and you will be successful.

People buy very expensive franchise restaurants b/c they all come with a system. If you follow that system, you will make a lot of $$ for yourself and the restaurant.

people run a nice tidy and efficient household b/c they have a system and people know their roles

Edmonton does not follow any sort of system. I think in 8 years here, they might have played 40 solid defensive games in total.

You can go get A #1 dman right now. Saros right now. AND a solid 3C.

It will not matter if this is how they keep playing

There is no will/no want/no hunger.

Every guy has to outrace the opponent to pucks on the wall, hustle back, etc.

Youw atch other teams and their guys ar elike robots and just go to their spot for a breakout. Here we just fire pucks blindly.

McDavid basically just gave up on that first play. It was Connor Brown horrible.

I feel sorry for the fans who pay to watch that garbage. I don't feel sorry for the players.

 

[MoontoScott]

I'll see you in court!!

Everything is booked up for Trump--no spaces available.

 

[McHelpus]

This team seems way to inconsistent to actually make a deep run. I doubt a trade deadline will do anything. Toilet seat oilers era I guess
