Post-Game Talk: 5-4 Loss

[McJadeddog]

Waive Labarbera and call up Bachmann.

Giving up **** goals is one thing, but raising your arms, shaking your head and blaming your teammates when every ****ing goal was his fault is crossing a line. Time to make an example of this ****ing loser.

i'm really surprised this hasn't happened already... bachmann has a .925 save% in the AHL, so even if you dock him .025 for the jump to the NHL, he would still clearly be a better option than labarbera

 

[Senor Catface]

I've never had less respect for a roster of this team than this year.

 

[BarDownBobo]

Really hope that was just a stinger for Pitty and he's back soon. He's one of the few guys I still enjoy watching on this team.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

I'd rather have Bryz as the backup

The whole world would. Not just Oiler fans.

People who have never even heard of Hockey, or the Oilers would rather have Bryzgalov as a back-up.

 

[Yablo21]

The suck continues. Kevin Lowe still has a job.

You need to get a clue, our 4th line score, we were the better team all game. All the players that MacT has brought in have been affective, with the exception of Labarbara. This game was stolen from us.

 

[McDoused]

So Jonas Hiller anyone?

 

[McCrumb]

Let me guess, the effort was there, controlled the play, ran into a hot goalie, our goalie was bad, like what I saw, if we keep playing like that we will win way more than we lose. Is that somewhat the way it went?

 

[McAsuno]

Reid Wilkins ‏@ReidWilkins 2m
Oilers have allowed 48 goals this season. No other team is over 40.

Beyond terrible.

 

[Raab]

We let in four goals from the blueline. Sure screens and deflections but it's insane how many goals we've let in from blueline shots so far this season.

That's how the good teams win. Offence starts from the points it's that simple. The fact we continue to try to work the puck downlow and try cross ice passes on the PP frustrates me to no end.

 

[Shanahanigans]

I have no idea why people are ragging on the team when we played a perfect road game vs. Phoenix. Even our defense and transition games were good. When your goalie lets in 3 wristers from the freaking point, there is nothing else the guys in front of him can do.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

So Jonas Hiller anyone?

Isn't Fasth hurt?

Not that they were going to trade him prior, but if Fasth is hurt that would be season suicide.

 

[Arpeggio]

I can't say the team even played poorly, they really should've only given up 2-3 goals in this game, and once again they carried the play. I think they're still capable of turning it around, but this is a deep ****ing hole they're digging.

 

[McJadeddog]

I wish Eakins kept Dubnyk in, he would of won it

yeah no idea why he didn't keep dubnyk in the game... this loss is as much on eakins as it is on labarbera to be honest... if you can't tell that labarbera didn't have it today, then you shouldn't be in charge of the goalies

While Mac T sits and watches the leaves fall.

 

[syz]

They should have. 4 straight PPs for the Coyotes after we tied it at 3 says it all.

Maybe one of those was an actual penalty.

Arcobello's high stick was the only actual penalty, but even that sucked just because of how hard the guy sold it.

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

No, the PP still sucks

goaltending was terrible on both sides

PK stopped winning puck battles

terrible special teams are terrible

 

[t0mf00lery]

I wonder how bad the PK is right now.

Their PK was 28th in the league at 73.7 going into the game. We'll have to see what the updated stat is.

 

[Captain Catatomic]

Time to write a letter to Mac-T

 

[ohheyhemsky]

It's been said, but it seems like an almost obvious moves for MacT here.

Waive LaBarbera, call up Bachman, negotiate term with Bryzgalov. We can't lose half the season before realizing that hockey is a business, and it has nothing to do with feelings. LaBarberthaworstgoalieofalltime needs to go.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Arcobello's high stick was the only actual penalty, but even that sucked just because of how hard the guy sold it.

Yup.

The Smid penalty was ****ing Pejorative Slured. The refs at center ice should not be making stupid calls like that.

 

[Hugo McStiglitz]

My suggestion for our new backup:

He might even be able to outplay Dubynk.

 

[Hemsky4PM]

Labarbera is an easy scapegoat for this game. He couldn't see 4 of the goals and Arcobello tipped the other one in.

That said, he's not a very good NHL goalie and that falls on MacT and the pro scouts. Would the Ducks move Fasth? Sigh. Bottom 6 at best seems about where we'll finish again.

Our defense is just plain bad. We have a no.3 in Petry and no better than a no.5 in anyone else. Again, MacT's problem to fix. I had hoped Ference would be a no.4, he's not. We're in dump Smid and N Schultz and call up Klefbom and Fedun territory. Nurse and Klefbom are the only hope it seems...but 2015 is long off.

 

[SR]

especially after having a Real Man tantrum. "NO I CAN DO THIS! IM A MAN!" then blows. he should have been out of the league ages ago.

Yakupov on the final minute or so looked hilarious. just chopping wood on the half boards getting scared when Ribiero comes at him. the dude has to go through some major growing pains to lose the "i'm sick... so sick i can't function on a team properly" attitude.

I'm coming in peace gentlemen. But what is this all about? LOL actually said that?

 

[Mr Forever]

Let Dubnyk play every game this season **** it

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

We need D bad. We need a legit top one or a lights out goalie. One of the two and we can win games. Fix our PP, aquire at least one of the above and we can be at least a. 500 team
