5-0 Oilers.

Kucherov phones his mom to cry after the game.

 

[Lacaar]

5-1 Tampa

3 power play goals for Tampa.
2 short handed.

Edmonton comes out of the game and says damn.. we had them 5 on 5.

The question of the season.

Can Talbot save the first 10 shots of the game. To many games he lets in 2.

Funny how there was no commentary from you last game where Montoya let in 4.

Montoya only let in 4 cause Talbot was sick and couldn't start. Still Talbots fault /s

 

[Drivesaitl]

Christians vs Lions. Gore ensues.

Game should come with disturbing scenes warning. Like anytime Klefbom or Benning are on the ice.

Even if the Oilers are winning at some point they won't be in the 3rd.

This is one of the PVR and watch at your own peril games.

Was the same as when Talbots in net.

No difference.

Would have been 8 if it was Talbot. Montoya stood on his head.

And if my aunt had nuts she'd be my uncle.
He still lost. Sorry, not good enough. Goalies have to steal games.

At least he knows the score.

 

[Laineux]

This could turn ugly, but I have a feeling that this team plays better against good teams. I expect it to be competitive. Oilers win 5-3.

Win some of the games they should lose.

Lose all of the games they should win.

Classic Oilers.

 

[CycloneSweep]

5-1 Tampa.

 

[mouz135]

5-0 lightning

because Oilers need another 5-0 home loss

How many starts has Montoya had?

He already stole a game in relief. He's played in 4 games and has a 1.98GAA and a 0.921 SV%

Talbot has played 39 games and hasn't stolen a single one. He has one shutout which came on opening night where the Flames didn't even have a scoring chance all game.

Yet you blame Montoya for where the team is and for him not stealing enough games. Smells almost as bad as how Puljujarvi, Lucic and Khaira are the only skaters you're willing to blame. You're seriously pathetic to be blaming Montoya.

5-0 Oilers.

Kucherov phones his mom to cry after the game.

Whats funny is watching Kucherov during the all star game and skills comp, he sure seemed like a poor sport when frustrated haha

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Lol got enough strawmen there? Clearly it's JP's fault that the team is terrible this year.

Talbot lets in 4 goals he's trash. Montoya lets in 4 goals it's okay. I'm just holding him to the same standard that you and all the other Talbot bashers have. What's wrong with that?

Montoya has stolen more games for this team this season that Talbot has. So clearly you're a liar.

Not a Talbot basher. I just don't think that him having a 3.14 GAA and .901sv% is good enough. Yet you choose to place blame on the goalie who's been infinitely better in only 4 games.

You realize that this is part of the reason why, right?

No. What does that have to do with Talbot not stealing a single game this season?

 

[oXo Cube]

That's not what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is that Montoya's Sv% would be a lot closer to .901 if he had played 40 games instead of 4

He has won a single game for the Oilers, against the very terrible Coyotes. If you don't think Talbot hasn't stolen at least one game then I don't know what to tell you. Long Island and Vegas to name a couple.

I'm simply holding Montoya to the same standard that people hold Talbot. You can say that if Talbot was playing he would've let in 8, but he didn't play that game and ergo did not let in eight goals. His backup, which you are lauding, did not steal us that game, didn't win it and probably could've stopped 1 or 2 of those goals.

It's hilarious how I'm apparently not allowed to blame the GM for the team's failings this season (which he fully deserves) and yet if I critique any players I'm not allowed to do that either. So maybe I should just blame the season on Eberle or something?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

3 mortal locks tonight:

-Oilers surrender the 1st goal of the game
-Oilers give up a PK goal
-Oilers PP looks like hot garbage

Oil lose 4-1

Its craptastic to look at Montoya's GAA or SV% with the Oilers as indicative of his play. Most of those minutes he's come in to close out games that are already over and in which opponents are coasting in to victory and not even looking to score. The one start he got, against a pretty lukewarm club without MacKinnon (AV's have not won one other game without him afairc) he lets in 4 goals on what, 25 shots.

ps 56 of his minutes (shutout) were against Arizona.
