GDT: Game 17: Vegas Golden Knights @ Edmonton Oilers | 6:00 | ATTSN | There Will Be Blood

[Nevada Jones]

Nealer!

 

[Nevada Jones]

Damn that fifth Oiler goal...still might have been able to make a game of this.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Did that fifth Oiler goal go in off Engelland's stick?

 

[Bart9349]

Goucher reminds us that Lagace has spent more time in net than any other goalie. Crazy statistic.

 

[Bart9349]

Did that fifth Oiler goal go in off Engelland's stick?

Yep, giving credit to McDavid.

 

[Nevada Jones]

McDavid again...guess I did jinx it.

 

[Bart9349]

Let's not have a total collapse here, you guys.

 

[Nevada Jones]

I'm thinking we really need Flower, Subban and/or Oscar back very soonish.

No offence, Max.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Here comes Dylan!

 

[Puckrobber]

Good luck, Fergie! Sorry we're behind by 5 goals.....

 

[VanIslander]

Down 3-0 in the 1st period and 4-0 by mid-2nd, the game was over well before the 3rd period, for the first time this season.

We need Sbisa back.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Is it over yet?

 

[Nevada Jones]

You were right, and I have already given you proper credit earlier in this thread.

 

[Elvis P]

There was blood.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Bloodbath.

 

[HanSolo]

 

[Bart9349]

Oh, boy. Five different goalies this season.

 

[mundyc3]

1-0, 8-2 it's all the same. Shocked by the cold weather I guess. Shake it off, next game get it going. Vancouver is a better city to celebrate a win in anyway haha.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Well now that the nightmare is over, let's forget it. Even the Penguins got beat in Chicago 10-1 earlier this year.

Okay, that's a bad comparison.

But on to Vancouver, and let's try to salvage at least one point out of this quickie road trip.

Nucks losing to Kings in LA 2-0 as I write this, BTW.

 

[Puckrobber]

I agree with VanIslander. Sbisa, with all of his faults, seems to be a solid, steady presence back there. He makes solid hits, and seems to be a good on-ice leader for this team.

The fact remains, though, that we need our starting goaltenders back.

 

[hangman005]

Well I have some good news.... It's Over... the game is mercifully over.

Hopefully we play a far better game against the nucks.

 

[VanIslander]

Even the Penguins got beat in Chicago 10-1 earlier this year.

Okay, that's a bad comparison.

Well, the Penguins have a TERRIBLE blueline, so it's not so crazy a comparison. They lose games because of their defense. The team has a bad goals for-against ratio (and wins games because it has two HHOF forwards and a few other scorers they play with).

 

[BattleBorn]

Had to run home, got to hear Fergie's debut on the radio.

A game to forget, for sure.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Rough game. I’m a little surprised that Max wasn’t pulled after the 4th goal. Could be the game that turns things around for the underachieving Oilers.

I wouldn’t say terrible. Not playing well would be more accurate.
