"Going on the road is the best thing for us right now."

 

[GMofOilers]

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.

Just post a .900 save% and this team can win. To much to ask?

 

[rickysusedsht]

Wont be shocked to hear boo birds after this crap

 

[ZJuice]

“We need to bury our chances”

 

[nexttothemoon]

Winning games would be the best thing for the Oilers right now.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

"We have to get our legs moving."

Is it too much to ask Klefbom to play better than Gryba? Goes both ways. With Klefbom in a coma and Sekera out, we basically are down 2/4 top 4 D.

 

[Del Preston]

"Myself, Jay, and the rest of the assistants coached a flawless game. The players didn't execute."

 

[Chef de Cuisine]

we must have the worst bottom 6 in the league. 0 skill, 0 speed, 0 utility

"We just need to trust the process. There was a lot to like out there tonight, we just need to bear down on our chances"

Season done. Unless they win ten straight

We get glorious chances every night. Guess what, the goalie saves them. Go figure.

Just go look at goalie stats on nhl, see where Talbot is in all of them, dare you

 

[Faelko]

On the bright side, a shit ton of time just freed up on my calendar this winter.

I think most teams give their bottom 6 some defined roles and things to focus on trying to do offensively. Ours, they seem to all just be told to try to be like McDavid. Try to go out there and do everything all by yourself.

here come the boo birds..quick, someone throw there jersey on the ice.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Total and complete embarrassment, changes are needed

 

[Del Preston]

Shutout by f***ing Mrazek.

But it’s exactly what is required in today’s NHL. Your goalie cannnot be sub par and still win.

It’s not all on Talbot but he is a part of the problem.

Habs, Rangers and Oilers have been terrible this year.......Devils, Canucks, Knights have surprised everyone......one group has starting goalies that have been warm to hot garbage so far and the other group has had lights out goaltending.

I get that but I am not seeing that many "bad" goals let in by Talbot, but tons of poor defensive coverage.

With Klefbom basically gone and Sekera out too the D-corps is thin.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Oh well... can't win em all.

 

[booyakasha]

changes are needed but does anyone trust Chia in making the right decisions? I sure don't

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

That was ugly..

 

[NeverForget06]

Hmm I've felt this feeling before but it hurts worse after actually being a good team last year

He’s tied for 3rd in shutouts I believe!
