I didn't watch the game but these goals are ****ing brutal. Who's available in the off season? Because we can't have these 2 to start next season. It feels like Dubnyk/LaBarbera/Scrivens/Bryzgalov timeline again.
That was a bad goal. Koskinen lost his angle and is not facing the shooter. Koskinen has to play better. Stays too deep in the net has a bad glove and loses his angles all the time.If you think that first snipe was a brutal goal you are out to lunch.

Are you joking? Hitchcock came in here full of bluster, shooting his mouth off that he knew what was wrong with the team and needed 8 or 9 games to fix it. What he’s accomplished is providing us with a lifeless team that looks worse now.
Anyone that can pick a spot can score on most NHL goalies. The thing is, picking a spot is hard to do in an NHL game when you are against adequate defense.Ridiculous. Why does Koski always have that bent back slouch? If he simply straightens out his back, or leans forward slightly he seals off the top of the net. Again this is why form matters and there is so much junk in Koski's form and fundamentals that was going to get exposed eventually at this level. Everybody is shooting high on him now and saying they will shoot high. Theres ample reasons for that.
Koski was going to be good until the NHL figured out not to just whack low shots into his pads. Anybody that can pick a spot can score on Koskinen. Theres a lot more snipers in the NHL than the KHL.
This is a very accurate statement.Anyone that can pick a spot can score on most NHL goalies. The thing is, picking a spot is hard to do in an NHL game when you are against adequate defense.
Lol, how many games has he played this year? Is Fleury being run into the ground? You make starter money, you play starter games.Running goalies to the ground? That is smart?
Funny how losing teams use excuses like fatigued and banged up. Other ones, like Arizona this year, just keep on playing and staying competitive despite a good chunk of the team on IR.Coach agrees with you, see his post game comments below.
'We're running on fumes. We need to get home and see if we can get some rest. We're banged up and there's not much left of us. We just need to regroup and get ready for the homestand.'
'I applaud us for coming back in the game. Coming back hard in the second period. Mounting a big comeback, but the fifth goal really hurt us a lot.'
Nobody on here is putting 100 % of the blame on Hitch, as you have been asserting. But he sure as hell is not part of the solution. The game has passed him by.Yes, that is the point? because of the coaching change we know it wasn't just the coach but the lack of adequate support and talent on the roster that keeps us non competitive in games?
Players still need to show up no matter the coach and both coaches have a respected history. So, I'm not sure what your point is.
Well.... back to being a SENS fan

The Oiler excuse last night was Running On Fumes - 3rd game in 4 nights.
Newsflash: It was the Blues 3rd game in 4 nights as well.
The Oilers are dysfunctional at management, coaching, drafting, developing and it’s NHL roster.
Dysfunctional organizations like dysfunctional people rely on excuses to get them to the next day and the next excuse.
The Oilers are the alcoholics of the NHL. The drunk uncle who never changes despite showing flashes of sobriety once or twice a year.
