It must be in the head because the absolute worst defensive defender on this team.

Just f***ing waive him, hes not even a NHL player

 

[JSlick]

imagine if the oilers played a lick of defense

 

[OfCorsiDid]

The f*** shillington

 

[dem]

Tying it 6-6 then giving up the 7th goal failing on your Pp and then immediately giving up the 8th probably deflated any good feelings they had about the second half of the game.

They shouldn’t have any good feelings about this game. The score is beyond flattering.

 

[Mr Positive]

Another silver lining. Koskinen has shown to be done, so Skinner should be next man up. If Smith looks shakey to start next game, Skinner will be in.

no coach would make that assumption in a a game where every goalie got lit up

 

[780il]

Stone is a neanderthal

 

[CycloneSweep]

It's game 1 of a best of 7. I think you take the silver lining that they tied up the game from a 4 goal deficit and build on that.

Flames look very beatable. Sutter and their clueless fans should not be celebrating this game. Sutter won't, even if their fans do.

They looked “beatable” tonight cause Markstrom had a terrible 2nd. As soon as we tied it up Calgary took complete control again.

Agreed, but it still doesn't feel fantastic. I don't like losing

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Oilers were lucky to be even in this game

horrid performance from the drop of the puck

Yup. The tie we had was so minimal. Giving up 2 goals like that is a back breaker.

 

[Oilhawks]

Kosk hasn't played in a couple weeks and has a better gaa than smith tonight. Not all on him.

No, but he hasn't looked very good since he lost the starter's net to Smith again. Skinner is the better choice. Koskinen is gone in the offseason, Skinner will be on the team next season. Time to see what he has.

 

[Metamind]

I haven’t noticed Nurse at all except when he’s getting burned. Might as well be the 7th defenceman

 

[dem]

Oof… pulled already?

What this term "defence" you're talking about? I'm from Edm.

They are beatable. Go cry in your beer man. Idgaf

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

That keep in by Bouchard was pretty impressive

 

[RattsSSV]

Good shift, keep it going.

 

[McDrailers]

That contract is going to be an absolute boat anchor. In a few years it will be up there with the Clarkson, Lucic, Neal, Erikson levels of WTF

 

[TheNumber4]

Listen to McJesus next time please.

I feel like putting a rookie into the playoffs with this defense is a suicide mission lol.

 

[TKB21]

Vintage Koskinen

I never wanted to see Koskinen in net again after the last game of the year. Here we are and of course he shits himself like he has always done in his oilers career. Good riddance next year you useless tool.

 

[TypeSly]

100%

 

[Oilhawks]

Agreed, but it still doesn't feel fantastic. I don't like losing

No one does. The good news is the team doesn't seem to either. I think we see something closer to game 6 and 7 effort next game

 

[CycloneSweep]

They are beatable. Go cry in your beer man. Idgaf

Every team is technically beatable. All this game showed is that if Markstrom shits the bed we can score goals. This is a game you throw out entirely.

 

[Del Preston]

lol at Backlund trying to act tough.
