Post-Game Talk: At least we got a point?

[ChaoticOrange]

Entirely forgettable game. Have to admit I didn’t expect to see the Jets trap it up so much, but it was effective. McDavid and Drai are exhausted already.

 

[The Hound]

Really wanted that W for Smith. At least he stole us a point.

 

[voxel]

McD okay sure he is maybe sick or his leg injury is acting up

Where the **** was Drai all night though? Just shameful games by them both

Drai seemed fine to me. Ice was piss poor - causing pucks to bounce.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Anything Draisaitl touched went to shit. McDavid looked like 25% of his usual self. The whole team was garbage, but this really showed our lack of depth. If those guys aren't going, we're not going.

 

[snipes]

Take the point and sprint to the plane

In whatever city it is in.

 

[CycloneSweep]

This is why I have my worries about the season. When the top line sucks our bottom 6 has literally nothing offensively.

On pace for 9 goals on the season

 

[TheNumber4]

Was worried in game 1 about McDavid.... still worried 17 league leading points later.... McDavid never made this many mistakes before and never looked as lethargic.

 

[McTedi]

McD had an off night and still had 3 chances to end it in OT. Some of you need to get a grip.

 

[T-Funk]

Maybe playing the top line for 26 minutes a game isn't gonna work.

Also I'll say it, McDavid's 2 way effort is just about non-existent and has been for awhile now.

I think the problem is he's struggling with too much two way effort imo. Looks gassed.

 

[BlackDogg]

Are the Oilers any good or what?

 

[CupofOil]

That was me, cry about it.

Trying to deke on this ice, does make him an idiot. Same with their 2 passes on 2 on 1's in OT, both times they bounced cause the ice was trash.

And yet you follow it up with more garbage.
Yeah I'm going to call out a poster when he calls the only reason why the Oilers are relevant a f***ing idiot. Well, one of two reasons why the Oilers are relevant.

McDavid and Draisaitl had a bad game, an unbelievably bad game but gain some perspective.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Yeah didn't feel great about Smith going into the shootout. Connor's not winning as many puck battles so far this year and it shows in games like this one where you need to outwork the other team.

 

[McOilers97]

Games where Drai and McD look that bad will be few and far between. Would’ve been nice for the bottom 6 to bail us out, but 1 point is a solid result.

 

[Soundwave]

You can't play your top line 26 minutes a game and think it's not ever going to catch up to you. It is what it is.

 

[McDrai]

Well I got a glimpse of how bad our team would be without McDrai. Pretty darn bad. Also remind me not to watch any Oilers Sunday games

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Undeserved point..Jets played like it was Game 7 of the Finals and eeked out a SO win.they deserved it
Smith was amazing and the PK was great but outside that..pretty terrible performance from the rest of the team

 

[GodPucker]

I'd be more mad without a point. Got one so that's good

 

[McDrailers]

Jesus, the REALLY went and picked the full Newfie accent for this didnt they

 

[Bryanbryoil]

This is a game where you need someone in the bottom 6 to pot one or two. McDavid clearly didn't have his legs under him tonight, he's either sick or hurting.

 

[Shathar]

McDavid and Drai looked exhausted, and it got waaay worse as the game went on. Just absolutely beat. It took them half the width of the rink just to turn and head the other way. My god. We are so lucky to have a point.

 

[TopCheese]

Maybe playing the top line for 26 minutes a game isn't gonna work.

Also I'll say it, McDavid's 2 way effort is just about non-existent and has been for awhile now.

mcdavis was gassed at the end . He would have had a couple breakaways this game but you could see he just did not have the energy left

 

[Snowpants]

I think the smart thing to do would be to not have a practice tomorrow, and just let the players sleep all day in their hotel rooms.

f*** that they slept walk through this game

Bag skate bag skate bag skate

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

It’s pretty fitting that the only times the Oilers shot the puck was on breakaways.

 

[MCMIL OIL]

Drai and Mcdavid look absolutely drained out there... and its October. This 25 minutes a night is starting to scare me. Need to find a way to lower there minutes and provide some secondary scoring. Maybe it's time to ship Puljujärvi and give old sammy snow pants a go.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Stunningly good game from Smith.

Goaltending is a strength for this team... PK is very good.

Team still taking a few too many penalties.

They get a point off of Smith's excellent performance... take it and run to the next game.
