So they had like 55 minutes to break the 2 goal threshold and yet....

We have 11 shots in the last 30 minutes when the opposing goalie is Al ****ing Montoya.
Al Montoya just pitched a 57-minute shutout.
So the team has a 5 day break, should be well rested and ready to go with the extra practice time. They showed up for the first 5 minutes of the game. That's it. This team is mentally weak, and it's not helped by a coaching staff that seem reluctant to actually teach anything or have the players prepared to play NHL hockey.
**** I hate this team, seriously.
What the heck is Howler wearing tonight?
I'm not sure that they showed up, I think the Oilers took us lightly and didn't play hard at first. Once the Oilers decided to play harder, they controlled the play most of the game. We have seen this before in many games.So the team has a 5 day break, should be well rested and ready to go with the extra practice time. They showed up for the first 5 minutes of the game.

All Star OEL with a smooth -3 to make it a compact -37 on the season.
Yet he has saved quite a few situations and honestly has not been THAT bad.
That empty net save was a thing of beauty.

I'll say it again, Raanta let in 2 glove side upper goals, goes down too fast and has let in 2 other short side goals up high recently. This is an obvious problem teams are keying in on in my opinion.
I am not sure there would be interest in Raanta at the TDL. he isn't a clear number 1 at this point. He would be insurance for somebody unless a number 1 goes down. I still think we would get back up trade value, maybe a 4th or 5th round pick, so not much.As much as I'd like Raanta to succeed here, I don't think it will work out in the long run. My guess is that we'll move him at the TDL for another "goalie-gamble." I realize he's been injured and such this season, but he does have some weaknesses before becoming a #1G. I suppose we could try for a tandem of some sort for a season or two if the team wants to stick with him (or our defense miraculously improves).
Hammer is solid, makes good plays, doesn't blow coverage.Hammer's first game back and he had 3 blocked shots. Most on the team.
