Post-Game Talk: Despite Eakins' attempts, the Oilers beat Tampa 3-2

[FunkyChicken]

Nice win.

 

[Mav3rick07]

So how long until Yakupov requests a trade?


Seriously WTF Eakins.

 

[Aerrol]

A win!

Unbelievable

Eberle deserves some credit I think. Made some good defensive plays late and a great pick off on that assist.

Yeah. Still flying the zone a lot, but at least he put some effort into having an active stick and made some smart offensive plays.

It feels strange to have a win. It's a good feeling, but I can't help but feel certain that this just extended Eakins' stay for at least 5 more games.

Ah well. Good to win.

 

[Markable89]

I wish we played in the east all the time... Still hope Eakins is fired.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

The whole team worked hard for that win. That has to feel good in the locker room tonight.

Eakins and Ference, AKA "The Bike Bros" tried their hardest to lose this one for us, but otherwise, the rest of the team put it together well.

 

[CupofOil]

Yay, a win.

Ok, now that I got that out of the way. Why the **** was Yak benched? Makes me sick.
All the kid does is go out there and do everything the coaches ask of him and he gets rewarded with more bench time. **** off with that garbage.

We should be talking about the win which will likely be a rarity this season. Instead, the main topic will likely be this ass backwards benching. Ticks me right off man and I have never been one to complain about Yak benchings but this is absurd.

 

[Ergot]

Won't be happy till we have more wins then losses

 

[dustrock]

Hall didn't get an assist on the winner but it was his speed on the forecheck that caused the turnover.

Also have to laugh at the melodramatic Ference hate.

 

[Nunymare]

It's really not helping that he's snake-bitten.

Reminds me of the beginning of the shortened season... I think he'll get going soon.

 

[Supermassive]

I loved RNH's celly.

-quick snakelike double fist pump
-mobbed by Hall
-ping pongs between teammates as they plough into him.

Night At The Rexbury.

 

[RipsADrive]

Wow Nuge managed to break the script we all know so well. The other team tying it up late in the third usually means we'll be lucky to get a point.

Good team win.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Hall beast mode.

Nuge looked dangerous all game and solid defensively.

Yak looked solid again.

Fayne and Marincin looked unreal.

Scrivens solid.

Draisaitl looked good until the Tampa bay 2nd goal.

Perron looks off this year, hogging the puck extra amount this year.

Perron was a puck hog last season too. IMO this was his best game of the season.

 

[StupidGenius]

"I don't know what I feel. What's the opposite of shame?"

"Pride?"

"No, not that opposite."

"Less shame?"

 

[PBandJ]

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

Eberle had a great game. In fact there were a few key good games from a few players.

Also, I'm gonna be rollin in dat vcash.

 

[Crobby]

Eberle and Perron are still snake-bitten. If they can get going and our 4th line keeps mucking it up that would be great.

Need to figure out this Yakupov situation though, hes looked good and is getting PP time, but Eakins doesnt trust him

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Nuges goal was sick. Just thread that needle.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Reminds me of the beginning of the shortened season... I think he'll get going soon.

He had a good performance tonight. Can't really be upset about much. He has to make a better effort to help out in his own zone, but he looked better.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

yeah, and i don't know what to do with drai.

move him to wing?

 

[OilerTyler]

yeah, and i don't know what to do with drai.

move him to wing?

Send him to junior

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

yeah, good game by Perron. He created a lot of chances out there.

 

[McTedi]

Send him to junior

Bingo!!!

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

yeah, and i don't know what to do with drai.

move him to wing?

Who would be the center. Can't break up our 4th line

 

[McDreamy]

Very happy we won. I think we all needed that.

 

[Shredator]

yeah, and i don't know what to do with drai.

move him to wing?

Prince. Albert.
