Post-Game Talk: 1st place hockey

[Stoneman89]

This game is exhibit A why you don't give Hall 10 million reasons to sign here. Hell, I wouldn't do it for 8, to be honest.

If a tree falls in the forest. I never see the Yotes outside of games we play them. I used to watch them a bit back in the Tippett days. Keumper imo is not that much of a difference maker. A guy that gets hot and cold and pretty much like Dubnyk. Not somebody I would rely on.

What was most conspicuous is how bad the Yotes D were today which wouldn't be expected. They got a good D, but for sure not in this one.

Kuemper has been elite this season though.

I'm not complaining though, it's about time other teams had some bad luck and inconsistency.

I don’t like sushi but poke is good
My wife loves it

Yeah my gf loves a good poke as well.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

f*** you Coyotes.

Hats off to any fan that could manage to watch that game. jebus, a Tka**** on each side, pass. Albeit good to see Brady beating his brother. Hopefully literally.

Is Brady a turtle too? That would be a boring fight.

People didn't believe me when I said Hall has lost some speed since his injury. He's not nearly as dynamic as he used to be.

He looked pretty good against us in overtime this year while he played on the devil's.
Luckily we won in the shootout.

hahaha

Any player with some speed and offensive talent can look good in 3on3 OT.

Did Smith hurt his hand at the end there?

 

[Stoneman89]

If the price is reasonable, I'd lock them up for 2-3 years at 1-1.3MM. Reasonable price for 4th liners who definitely drive the play and bring value on the PK.

Those amounts are indeed reasonable. A lot better than the hyper-ventilating 3 million that some people want. These guys are good PK guys and solid 4th liners who can slid into top spots for short periods. Pay them as such.

Can we join you?

Sorry, I don't roll that way! NTTATWWT

 

[Stoneman89]

He was shutting him down most of the game. Hall couldn’t get his wide drive down the wing on him.

I think it was Russell that was really shutting Hall down for a lot of the game. The Carolina cowboy had a fabulous game. Bear had a couple really bad defensive plays today, but otherwise was good.

 

[Stoneman89]

Screw Hall . Coyotes have gotten worse since they traded for Hall . Hello draft lottery , good bye playoffs . Dodge a bullet there .

And the Devils have been playing better. Go figure.

They way they would see it is it's a guaranteed salary for a coupe years. Both were late signings at low dollar figures. If I'm looking for a job, I would value security a bit more than short-term pay.

One good fight and people are lining up to pay Kassian $3M. I guarantee some of those posters are the same that wanted him gone the past 2 years at his current salary.

 

[T-Funk]

And the Devils have been playing better. Go figure.

He cant be the best player on his team. Has never worked.

 

[Stoneman89]

Next ultimate test, actually playing well after a "really" long break. That seriously never happens with this team. Even in 16/17 they played like a bunch of idiots after their bye week.

They can't afford to this year. They had some cushion then. Way too tight this time around.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

The flames play by play guys are so biased. At least our announcers cheer for the Sharks.

I want to see Kassian signed, but it does show why you don't overpay anyone. Especially if they are playing with Mcdavid.

 

[Drivesaitl]

The amount of Oilers D picks in a game in which we are up 5 goals is frankly frightening. We were giving away breaks and odd man rushes away like candy. This is one where you don't wanna watch the game film over.

Hockey is a strange game. Take away the Klef save after Smith lost his mind, and a Yotes goal called back and this could be a different game. Sloppy game overall.

That said the Oilers are now in a reasonable position headed into the long break and hopefully come back with consistent focus. At least we got more players going now.

I think it was Russell that was really shutting Hall down for a lot of the game. The Carolina cowboy had a fabulous game. Bear had a couple really bad defensive plays today, but otherwise was good.

It was Nurse/Bear that bodied Hall.

Nurse was +5 in 8.5 minutes against him at even strength.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

BTW, did anyone else see how Hall got burned on the Nygard goal?

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

I'm surprised @Cloned hasn't started the Pre Game Thread for the Flames game yet.

 

[Rusoilers]

I'm sure somebody said it, but Hall 1 point and a minus on the game is very typical for him. I have always found him overrated personally.

 

[Faelko]

I’d like to see Archibald stay on that line with McDavid & Kassian. Put Neal with Haas and Chiasson.
