Post-Game Talk: How To Get The Starter’s Job Back in 2 Games

[Cloned]

Thanks for the new profile pic

Are you coming back to Edmonton too? Or just your twin?

 

[Aerchon]

We have to go back to Nuge - Drai - Yams now.

Nuge, even with everything, still doesn't get enough credit imo.

He adds so much to either McDavid or Draisaitl.

I want them to put DRY back together and glue Kassian + whoever to McDavid so that we can get chemistry on two lines.

Yep! Looking forward to watching Oilers games at normal times, not looking forward to the winters. I love the heat.

It is worth mentioning that I travelled to Canada from November 29th to December 30th. The Oilers went 4-9-1 in that time...

You should self-quarantine.

Stay the f*** away.

Stay the f*** away.

Or we'll have to get Supergirl to keep him away, by force.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I don't want to get ahead of myself (or jinx anything), but does anyone have any ideas for playoff avatars?

No, and it'll stay that way until they clinch a playoff spot.

Supergirl avatars FTW!

I thought Ennis-Drai-Yams had pretty decent chemistry in the 3rd period, fairly comparable to RNH being on that line instead. They came very close to scoring.

I'd stick with these lines for another game, trying to get a read on line combos with the group is dead tired getting into town 3:30 in the morning isn't a great way to judge anything especially with McDavid sick, but even there that last tick tack toe goal for the McDavid line showed potential.

Honey Badgers and Bears because without those 2 this year the Oilers are probably sitting in 5th and out of the playoffs.

I don't think Tippett sticks with it for another game. If the team didn't play well and had some strong glimmers I'd agree with you but laying an egg that massive all over the ice but somehow scoring 3, I think he shakes it up again.

Tippett is a coach that likes the wins but definitely cares how the team plays win or lose and what happened on ice was not something he would think is worth trying again.

 

[McSuper]

Oilers were toying with them . Like a cat toys with a mouse .

McDavids caught on camera talking to Draisaitl on the way home.

@Wen22 should suffice.

Team will eventually need two real scoring lines constantly, not just one good line and then one "do whatever the heck you want Connor" line.

Good teams don't get hung up on line combos that much, these guys should be able to play with other players and honestly I thought the team was better in the 3rd anyway.

Before cashing the last two goals they could have scored a couple more, E-Drai-Yamamoto had them hemmed in their zone for a good period of time.

Can't really judge the McDavid line when it looks obvious Connor was playing sick. He didn't even celebrate his goal.

 

[LaGu]

It's so awkward to watch the Oilers play bad and win games.
Kosko getting his SO ruined less than a min to go really was brutal, Drai's gonna owe him one..

Considering how much this team owes Drai...


Anyhow, this is as always a big deal amongst fans and probably a non-issue in the locker room. It would be crazy if players had to excuse themselves for every bad play they make. These guys are grown-ups and spend months and months together.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Btw its March and we are first in the division. We might get demolished in the playoffs, but beats the shit out of waiting for a draft lottery

Brb gonna try and find tp in mad max nation

I don’t want to force that on one person, that’s not fair.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Don’t discuss this until we clinch.

However I wouldn’t be opposed to your suggestion.

 

[McClelland]

Well, that was 2 well earned points, #Koskinen!

 

[Tyrolean]

Disappointing the last 3 of 4 games. Team maybe is sick? Can't think of any other excuse.

[tardigrade81]

Anyone else ridiculously hung over with a bad headache today? Anyway back to sleep

oh and I heart Koskinen.

 

[McNuge]

Fell asleep before the game started but watching the highlights it looked like we played great... I now know that was not the case haha. Oh well, a wins a win.

Anyone know where I can find the Yamo and Smith interviews form last night?
