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

[oil Leaks]

Bottom 6 needs a rework, badly.

 

[McOilers97]

People are a little too down on this game. They didn’t play very well, McD and Draisaitl particularly, but I mean, Winnipeg is the best team they’ve played this year and they still mostly shut them down.

No reason to call for any player’s head after this game.

 

[TopCheese]

there must be some bottom 6 players out there that can be had for 3rd or 4th round picks. Cant keep winning with the way the bottom 6 is structured. Petan from toronto for a 4th?

 

[Ninety7]

Mcdavid no bueno

 

[snipes]

Just a hunch but they might have caught their annual flu bug again. They looked exhausted from the opening faceoff.

Yup. Flu season is just starting in Alberta and as I mentioned this is when McDavid gets his annual McFlu.

Guy needs to starting eating that raw garlic or something.

 

[harpoon]

Somebody called McDavid a ****ing idiot in the GDT. If there is a moron post of the year that one is it.

Finish the thread. Same poster called for him to be benched next game.

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.

This should never be acceptable. It should never "be nice" for them to bail us out, it should be absolutely necessary that the bottom 6, hell the bottom 9 score more than 4 ES goals over 9 games, with 1 of them being Nygard who's injured, and the rest being james neal.

Our bottom 6 is on pace for 9 goals this year, and the one goal they do have is from Nygard. I don't care how good theyve been defensively if they aren't going to threaten to score at all.

Mcdavid and Drai are allowed to have bad games, but I'm sure it's even harder for them to recover from when they know if they have a bad game, they have nobody else who can score. Imagine leading the league in points, and still feeling like you aren't doing enough to win games because you have nothing outside one line.

Except Khaira.

He can hit waivers any time now.

 

[Mickmagoo]

The ice was Horse.

 

[Shathar]

it's possible. It's hard to say considering those two are used to playing 1/2 the game. I've been there, I'm sure lots of u have. Yr brain tells your body to do something and it just doesn't respond. That's what I saw from both of them. Hope they get some rest.

 

[McAsuno]

Thought the third line was actually pretty good tonight, tbh. Unfortunately none of them are any good around the net.

I'd personally move Jurco to the 2nd line and move Chiasson down. The bottom 6 needs a change. Move in Gagner. Guys like Khaira and Granlund are just showing next to nothing. Archibald has speed, but I haven't seen anything outside from that to be impressed.

 

[LTIR]

The funny thing is JJ's line is down right dominant along the boards but absolutely no drive to the net.

Yup

 

[GodPucker]

99% some of the team has the flue. It always comes around this timr. They looked dogged tired all game

 

[McDrailers]

McDavid has honestly looked off all year to me. So when people like Burke say that his game against the Flyers was one of the best games he’s ever seen McDavid play, it makes me question what these so called “hockey experts” even know about our team.

I’m not worried about him, but the sooner he gets back to form, the better for all our sanities.

it’s to be expected right? Since he was drafted we’ve been blessed to see him going full out every night. He’s been the team for years. Crosby, Malkin, Ovi, Stamkos the list goes on of star players who have a down stretch of games.

I’m not worried, I also don’t really blame the guy, the world has been expected of him since he became an NHL player.

 

[BlackDogg]

McDavid did look ill almost after that shootout attempt.

Hopefully he didn't try the prairie oysters.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Bottom 6 needs a rework, badly.

Gagner in, Khaira out. Lagesson in, Manning out. I actually liked Jurco-Granlund-Russell together.

 

[Mickmagoo]

Draisaitl getting bagged on a lot but that game is over at least three times in OT if McDavid is on his game.

No its the ice. Rolling pucks all game impossible to complete a pass

 

[The Batman]

Smith played well his last 2 starts but the team just can't get him the win.

Only things I enjoyed this game was watching Bear play and the ref's shifty eyes.

 

[stratedge]

An Oilers goalie delivers a shut out but they still lose. What a bizarre season thus far.

 

[McAsuno]

Smith played well his last 2 starts but the team just can't get him the win.

Bear holding his own against Scheifele on the boards was great to see. What a gem the kid is.

 

[LTIR]

They got a point because of Mike Smith, I'll take it.

Another Flame point...
Couldn't score against bottom of the barrel defense and goalie.

McDavid needs to shake off the horcoff whiffs

 

[YakDavid]

I think the perrson injury really hit the team harder. Bear and klef to an extent are our only outs in the back for passes. Russell, Benning, and Manning look like they couldn't afford a puck growing up at times.

 

[Soundwave]

Yup. Flu season is just starting in Alberta and as I mentioned this is when McDavid gets his annual McFlu.

You're more susceptible to the flu if you're pushing yourself physically to the limit, doesn't surprise me if he ends up getting sick, he is being worked very hard here. You just haaaaaaaad to have Larsson and Lucic didn't you Chia? Created a problem we shouldn't have.

 

[Garbo Man]

That was the worst ice i've ever seen in an NHL game in my entire life

 

[MettleMcOiler]

I'm guessing Lagesson and Gagner draw in next game.

McDavid looked gassed at the end, even Drai.

Sheahan-JJ line had some good pressure.

Smith had a great game.

The rest of the team...idk...seemed like they removed the foot off the pedal this game.

Glad for the point and move on I guess. But feel we deserved better than 1 point.
