Post-Game Talk: I guess 20 minutes is almost 60? Oilers lose 4-3.

[3IR]

Not gonna win many games when you play for 20 minutes, no matter how hard you play that 1 period.

Oh well, successful road trip either way.

Tippett not liking anyone next to mcdavid lately.

Koskinen in net and better refs this is a win. End of story.

 

[Mr Positive]

I don't think McDavid is 100% either

 

[Del Preston]

Good veteran hook by Toews in the final minute.

 

[StupidGenius]

Would've been nice to put a Chelsea dagger in the Hawks' playoff hopes, and take over first in the division, but I'll still take a 2-1 road trip.

 

[duul]

Have to find a way to get McDavid going.

 

[Garbo Man]

Koskinen in net and better refs this is a win. End of story.

I swear to god the reffing in the NHL has gotten worse and worse as this season has gone on and that's not just for Oilers games that shit is league wide

 

[Senor Catface]

California style ice up in Chicago

 

[Oilhawks]

Hawks are garbo, could have won that despite fatigue or whatever. Regardless, nice almost comeback.

Give Koskinen more starts now, please.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Flames always win playing 20 minute games though

great push in the 3rd...didn’t up give on the game

2-1 is a hell of a roadtrip...now 4 straight at home
Be nice to win 3 of those

 

[Porkleaker]

Smith sucks, AA is shit, make a better line for McDavid.

 

[McTonyBrar]

I don't know how that Too many men call is even allowed or legal? It was during time that's not even official... We could've had 2 minutes to work with and right after another goal so we could've had so much momentum. I HATE THE ZEBRAS

 

[snipes]

Looked really good in the 3rd. Need to play for a full 60 though.

On to the next.

 

[YakDavid]

I don't care that Chaisson scored last OT, he has no business being out at the end of the game.

McDavid was not great.

 

[nexttothemoon]

I'm not pissed... good effort in the 3rd... although I'm sure most will say it was too little too late.

Koskinen was solid in relief.

Team was up against a determined Chicago team and still pushed hard at the end and made a game of it.

 

[OilersfaninTO]

Would be nice if we could ever manage a multi-goal 3rd period comeback like those chumps to the south.

 

[KlefDown]

is this the downfall of mike smith? my column

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

4 games in 6 days and we won 3 of those... So that means time to complain some more about how a non elite team is inconsistent at times

 

[sundaysleftovers]

Can't win em all. On the road, win back to back before this game. Guys probs had some fun in Chi town. Couple of chincy goals, Smith flopping around. Koski starts might have been a win.

 

[GMofOilers]

Just couldnt get going, head wasnt in it in the first 40.

Still a good team, your going to get a effort like that every now and again.

6 out of 7 on the road, 7 games in 12 nights.

 

[McTonyBrar]

I don't think McDavid is 100% either

Doesn't get a point in a game where wingers keep changing and he has an anchor in Neal beside him. Yeah he must have a broken leg or something

 

[CupofOil]

Instead of applauding the 3rd period effort, I'm going to ask where was the effort in the first 2 periods.

Successful road trip but they need to rediscover the work effort they had before the deadline. It's been largely lacking the last 5 games.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

That first line has no where near the magic of the 2nd line. Something needs to be done but there really aren't any options.

 

[Oilhawks]

Flames always win playing 20 minute games though

great push in the 3rd...didn’t up give on the game

2-1 is a hell of a roadtrip...now 4 straight at home

Who cares? They don’t do the same in the playoffs.

 

[Jepprey]

Buncha teases.

Nobody showed up tonight until the 3rd period. Oh well.

On to the next.
