Pre-Game Talk: Detroit @ edmonton 2pm

[McDNicks17]

Yomomomo.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Well don't worry guys, our godlike gm will solve this issue by making a big trade.

.....its the exact same team that...literally....should have gone to the WCF if not the SCF.....

 

[nexttothemoon]

Auvitu/Stanton would be a solid bottom pair.

 

[McDNicks17]

2-6-1 with Yamamoto dressed. There's your problem.

This is a .500 club without him.

He must have broke the bro code too.

 

[McFlash97]

This team was predicted to be a Stanley Cup contender. Lol.

Lottery cup contenders, there was a typo on both the article and the las Vegas line.


Anyone care to post what the Oilers GF and GA are at home this season..... It's been quite the annihilation from the opposition.

 

[GMofOilers]

5 times this year Talbot has had above .900 save% guess what happened?

Guess what Talbots save % been in losses? Below .900

Just need .910 save % and we win games.

Simple as that.

rofl. Besides the fact that we can't score

He doesn’t make an appreciable difference on the average game. That stat is what we call a “coincidence”. He should still be sent back though.

Probably slept with Nurse's 17 year old cousin. Or wouldn't take her to prom.

Talbot has been subpar overall... but the team was averaging 2 goals per game until recently. Hard for a goalie to play sparkling enough hockey to overcome that lack of offense.

When you have to score 4 to win something is wrong

Isn't that simple when the team struggles to score and blows a lot of defensive coverage.

 

[onetweasy]

We made the Cup final and then proceeded to miss the next decade of playoff hockey.....

What has been the lowest point total in a season following a 100 point campaign by an NHL team?

 

[CycloneSweep]

He has just over a 3gaa. Team shouldn't need 4 goals a game to win.

 

[YakDavid]

Goals seem incredibly hard for this team to come by.

 

[Faelko]

Anybody been fired yet?

A lot to ask to score 4 goals every game....

 

[Alowlyoilersfan]

no talbot
no mcdavid

no win

 

[booyakasha]

Need to send down Yamamoto and bring up Puljijarvi.

 

[Soundwave]

A lot to ask to score 4 goals every game....

It's a lot to ask a goalie to save a team's bacon every night when they blow coverage on a regular basis and the no.1 d-man on the team decides to play like a no.7 D.

 

[oobga]

At the very least, the PP and PK% are a sign that someone is out of their element. Krueger could make both look great with a team of turds and kids. I would like to at least see someone pay for this assault to my eyeballs.

 

[McFlyingV]

He's been a huge problem with the goalscoring. Zero goals in 9 games in the top 6 despite getting numerous grade A chances is not helping the team its hurting them. I'm very high on the kid, but he needs to go back to junior he's just not ready yet. If he can't score he's part of the problem not the solution, but he's far from the only problem, there's about 8 other problems in the forward group.

I realize that... but you also can't say every goal (or even the majority of goals) are his fault either.

Should've been sent down long ago
