GDT: Game 1 // Oilers @ Devils // Oct 6 @ 11 AM MST // TV: SNET. Part 2

[CupofOil]

I would give the new coaching staff more than 50 minutes before I started firing people

McLellan failed miserably last season as well. This isn't a 1 game thing.

 

[nabob]

Goal and an assist, set up the only scoring chance in the 2nd period and just set up Yamamoto for another good chance.

Meanwhile where's your boy?

Drai has look horrible today. That’s great he got a couple points off of plays by other players. Maybe it’ll get him going and looking like he actually cares out there.

My boy? Why the need to try pit players and fans against each other? This board really sucks when posters like you insist on doing that.

 

[McIce Whole]

Now ***** about 2 more

Draisaitl has been absolute f***ing garbage despite that goal, it was all Lucic and Connor.

 

[nabob]

Lucic deserves some credit.

Yep him and Yamamoto have been playing pretty decent today.

 

[McIce Whole]

Now ***** about 2 more

f*** Drai has been so damn bad, needs to step up his f***ing game

They implemented the same shit all throughout the preseason. Why on earth would anyone be like 90 games in a row of something isn't a sufficient amount to judge whether a coach should be fired?

 

[booyakasha]

"loading up the top line"
Yer Drai is on it?

 

[CupofOil]

I'll let you know how good it feels to have the Oilers winning when they start doing so.

You've been complaining a ton in this thread, so don't throw stones from your glass house.

The difference is that I don't constantly complain then rub it in everybody else's face when they lose.

Drai looked horrible last year too yet he scored 70 pts.
forget his play.. The guy is on pace for 164pts this season.

 

[thadd]

Shockingly agree with people saying Lucic has been one of our best players tonight. Weird to say.

He's been skating hard, forechecking and has 2 points.
I donno if he had a game this good last season.
Maybe it's something they put in the water in Sweden.

 

[Mr Positive]

They implemented the same **** all throughout the preseason. Why on earth would anyone be like 90 games in a row of something isn't a sufficient amount to judge whether a coach should be fired?

for him to be fired there would at least be a good sample from the start of this season

 

[CycloneSweep]

If Drai needs McDavid to not look shit, we are going to have a rough season. He can't even blame Lucic tonight, dude came to play

 

[TennisBalls]

Drai mcdavid rattie
Rnh Strome yama
Rieder jujar pulju
Lucic Brodziak kass

 

[Oil75]

Vintage 2017/18 Oilers waiting until the game is out of reach to put an effort in during garbage time. Just INFURIATING

 

[Skar]

This game looks familiar. Talbot letting in first shot on goal. Communication error between goalie and defenseman leads to a goal. Down 4-1, late push to make it 4-2. Only thing left to do is pull the goalie, have absolutely no possession and have it iced 5-2 on the empty net.

He looked really good until he packed it in with 15 games left in the season IMO.

 

[Draiskull]

If Drai needs McDavid to not look ****, we are going to have a rough season. He can't even blame Lucic tonight, dude came to play

meh..just double shift McDavid... everyone is happy.

 

[Ruok]

This game is blown because the Oilers only played 30 minutes of hockey. The whole second period it was like they were in a trance.

 

[CupofOil]

for him to be fired there would at least be a good sample from the start of this season

How about the 81 game sample size last season.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

The difference is that I don't constantly complain then rub it in everybody else's face when they lose.

When you get constantly shit on for your opinion then yes, it does feel somewhat good to have it validated.

But watching the Oilers lose because they have terrible management/coaching is not fun in the slightest.

 

[McDrai]

Drai mcdavid rattie
Rnh Strome yama
Rieder jujar pulju
Lucic Brodziak kass

Strome is barely a 3rd liner in the NHL; definitely wouldn't have him on the 2nd line

 

[nexttothemoon]

2 goal lead.. worst in hockey.. Oilers have them where they want them now.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

McDavid needs to start being selfish again

 

[GMofOilers]

God Klefbom is horrible

 

[Dashh]

lol the oilers suck has even permeated these boards. Turning posters against one another... the disease knows no bounds.
