BOOOOOO Edmonton Oilers, BOOOOO Oilers.

[Bryanbryoil]

Joke of a game, joke of a team.

 

[Rafters]

Until this team learns that you need to put in as much effort away from the puck as you do on the offensive side this team will never change...the fact Eberle has an A is a complete joke...Nuge not much better on the second goal..these are you team leaders??

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

I hope McLellan says nothing to them. Just drives straight home.

Yes, the "Battle of Alberta" name needs to be retired by hockey broadcasters because there hasn't been one for a quarter-century.

The Oilers have a .397 win-% against Calgary over the past 25 years.

The game tonight is the most uninspired effort against Calgary I've ever seen. Been watching them since 1986.

 

[Gone]

cbc putting the boots to the oilers now

What was said?

 

[Tarus]

Sad effort.

The defense was pathetic, the top line was hamstrung early by Mclellan's needless shuffling to push Drai to a position he isn't comfortable in an effort to shoehorn an inferior center in his place, the few chances the team got were nullified by players trying to be too fancy.

The week off must have fooled all the players into thinking the season already over, they looked like they were trying to play a summer pickup game.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

but who goes is the question

Based on history (Which I hope Chia isn't dumb enough to repeat)

I would say we see some minor bottom 6 tweaks, a FA signing we hope ends up being better than his history shows, and a lot of excuses about how hard it is to make a trade these days, and how we never got to see what a healthy roster can do.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I don't blame them. Still dissapointing.

And what was Calgary playing for? Are they in the playoff hunt? They have pride, it meant more to them to crap on the history of our building than it did for our team to send it out on a high note.

 

[WayneGreatzky]

Glad I missed this one

What a waste

 

[Mr Positive]

interestingly my internet, phone, TV all crashed shortly after the 2nd goal and I just saw the final now. Guess it was a merciful crash for me

 

[Del Preston]

Jordan Eberle doing his post-game interview already. Surely has a party to attend to at 11pm.

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

Gaudreau >> Hall and it's not even close.

Yep. As a guy who has been Hall's biggest fan and even at times an apologist, I'm pretty much done with him. I hope he's moved. For his sake, and ours.

Gaudreau is a far better winger at this point than Hall.

 

[6ix]

Shutout by a team with goaltending that couldn't stop a beach ball. Then salt in the wound with their stars shining and dropping 5 goals on us.

And Taylor Hall is a joke, can't even be a homer anymore and defend him vs gaudreau.

 

[Paralyzer008]

We aren't completely done on the management firing spectrum.

Time to fire MacTavish and Howson. It's a joke.

 

[booyakasha]

Gaudreau>McDavid.

Maybe we can draft Matthews and he's the savior...every one else?..gone for help.

top 6 needs work. Ebs needs to go, Drai sent down to the AHL for a year, Hall dealt for a top line D-man (IMO).

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

Gaudreau >> Hall and it's not even close.

Gaudreau >> McDavid too, right?

 

[Del Preston]

Listen to the pre-game interviews from this team and then go watch the effort from them. Night and day. ****ing ********.

If MacT isn't gone by the draft I am done with this team. Not another penny for life.

Yep, well said. Pride and heart are exactly what this team is lacking, and has been lacking for at least 7 years.

 

[McPuritania]

This team is an absolute embarrassment.

The last BoA ever in Rexall, and this is the effort they put forth? These guys are supposed to be our biggest rival, and we play this game like an afternoon road game in Columbus? No ****ing passion, no drive, no effort, no ****ing pride. I'm so ****ing tired of this gutless team. It takes us 53 minutes into the game to throw a ****ing hit, and it takes us until the last 3 minutes of the game to get angry. Are you ****ing kidding me? It's absolutely incredible how listless, and pathetic we were tonight. If you can't get yourself up for this game, you don't have the heart to be on this team.

We belong in 30th place. This team is an absolute disgrace to the jersey. I can't wait until Chiarelli tears this team apart. I'm ****ing done with them, I'm done with the loser mentality that is so ****ing prevalent on this team. Enough is enough. Ship these losers out of town. Would anybody be surprised at all to see us put the same ****ing garbage effort against Vancouver in our final game in Rexall? Put the ****ing Oil Kings out there for that game. Disgrace, disgrace.



Not that it even matters, but the refs were absurdly terrible as usual. Just feed Calgary powerplays all night, give Hendo a misconduct for trying to avoid a confrontation, and then just sit there and watch while Lander gets a ****ing guillotine put on him at center ice. Hartley is also a garbage coach. They ****ing blow us out, and they try to goon it up, and also try to run up the score at the end. What a joke.

 

[booyakasha]

Gaudreau >> McDavid too, right?

as evidenced tonight.....fairly easily.

 

[McDrai]

At some point, you have to stop being angry and just laugh at how bad this team has been for what seems like forever lol
My condolences to the sorry losers who bought season tickets for next season. You better sell them off quick while you can!

Judging by the score I figured you were at the game.
