Haven't read the thread yet- got to go to the game with my oilers fan brother in law.
Still unhappy about brodie and gulutzan.

No excuses for that loss. Simply did not show up for two periods. When they did show up it was clear which is the better team. But the fact that they didn't show up for two periods means one thing and one thing only: Gulutzan needs to Go.
BTW, the real Sam Bennett is back. Time to get him back into his natural position and put him between Ferland and Gaudreau, and have him or Jankowski replace Brouwer on PP1 (common sense). I'd much rather watch Ferland-Bennett-Gaudreau blaze up the ice with speed than this awkward Gaudreau-Monahan-Jagr line. The Gaudreau-Monahan pairing is so overrated.
The low angle on the first goal showed him looking away into the slot while the puck hit the boards. He wasn't set for what should have been an easy save. Bugged me.
Lol
Bennett played great, again. But he's playing great because he doesn't have to worry about centre duties.
Money will be fine just leave them be. If you're so confident about Sam, let him drive his own line for a while, not just two games.
As a team we are too fragile, bring back the Hartley mentality of battling through when bounces dont go your way, now we get too low as soon as anything bad happens
The comeback is not indicative of hiw fragile this tean can be, when things start to go right, we can pile on no problem. The issue is when the bad thing happen. How many times have we seen this team play good, gets scored on then all hell breaks lose. This is the same vibe i got from thw ottawa game. We were the better team, then a bad penalty led to a GA and we shrank into a ball. Only difference was we found that something good this gane unlike the ottawa one. This team cant handle adversity rn, idk how you would address it but someone need to tell them to stop beating themselves down after something bad happensWe were literally a failed 2-on-1 away from erasing a 5-goal third period deficit tonight!
But in a way, I agree. This team allows the piling on to happen too much. But I think that started in Hartley's last year, not when Gulutzan came on board.

To be fair to Smith he admitted that in after hours, that he needed to make the save on the 3rd goal and that it was a backbreaker.Smith was not great tonight. I try not to blame the goalie usually, but he inexplicably looked away on the first goal and let in a softy on the third goal. The rest, I don't blame him for, but it made a big difference in the game. I thought the Khaira goal was a real backbreaker. Brossoit almost played chiropractor in the third, though.
Brodie is literally one of the dumbest hockey players I’ve ever watched.
He's done well with Stone this year, too. In about two games.I don't understand what happened to him. Too much time spent with Wideman maybe? He did well with Stone last year, I'd like to put them back together for a bit. Move Hamonic down with Kulak.
I’d certainly not be against thatI don't understand what happened to him. Too much time spent with Wideman maybe? He did well with Stone last year, I'd like to put them back together for a bit. Move Hamonic down with Kulak.

I PVRed the middle 17 minutes of the third period, covered up the score with a post it note and watched it 3 times. Turns out we won 12 - 0. Awesome!
