GDT: Game 2: Edmonton Oilers vs. San Jose Sharks: We're just slow starters. It's a trap!

[Draiskull]

meh... cant say that we didnt get chances...

SJ goalie has played a decent game.. made some big saves..

 

[McDNicks17]

Nice...Harski with Paajarvi.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

good solid shift for that fourth line.

 

[Draiskull]

and no one gets open for a pass...

 

[Jesus]

Well you can't say that the Oilers didn't have some chances to make it a closer game here in the 3rd...

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Another trapping team, good lord.

 

[Trufflepig]

I like the hartikainen and paajarvi combo

 

[BoHorvatFan]

Oilers probably could've been right back in this with a little luck. Inexcusable first period, but the rest of the game at least leaves fans with a bit of hope.

Helps that the Sharks completely stopped playing though. Can't really judge the Oilers in the last 2 periods when their opposition goes into drain the clock and get out of town mode.

 

[Draiskull]

yo .. dont injure Havlat... i have him in my hockey pool...

 

[Delta Cubes]

Slopppy slopppy right now

 

[misfit]

and no one gets open for a pass...

It didn't help that everyone knew that pass was the only thing Hartikainen was thinking.

I can hardly wait to some day tell my grand kids about our morale victory we won in the 2013 home opener

How come Nick Schultz doesn't have an "N" on his jersey tonight? I thought he was alternating his A not his N..

 

[Toydarian]

Funny how posters on the main board know all the solutions to the Oilers problems.

 

[dem]

At least they got some chances and carried some of the play the last 2 periods.

Hard to judge though seeing as the sharks won the game already..

 

[oilers2k10]

One more big strong forward is what this team needs

He did exactly what Dubnyk didn't: his job.

Would be the first positive thing you've ever said.

Well I'm not sure the first period was totally indicative of how good the Oilers are going to be this year either. We'll see how they bounce back on Thursday.

Weird, I was just thinking this too.

Does he usually?

 

[oilers2k10]

very nice!!!!!!!!

 

[Draiskull]

SJ hatty time

 

[McClelland]

If it had been a tennis match , we had won 2-1 in sets!

 

[jukon]

I'm pretty sure he did vs Vancouver.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Alright. Score off the icing... Put out Eberle... win this game...
