Kris Russell with a filthy snipe

[izzy]

he is impressively bad and is basically good at shot blocking

that contract is gross

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Obviously Russell supports the tank! No idea what he was trying to do there.

Trying to smack it around the boards and out the other side... but clearly had zero idea where he was in relation to the net.

 

[SladeWilson23]

So the Oilers literally beat themselves tonight.

 

[McFlash97]

I'd feel that our GM built a team to compete for a Cup in the 2011-2012 season and thus far has failed to adapt to the modern speed game, that for whatever reason our coach is not getting this team ready to play right out of the gate, that we desperately need Larsson, Sekera, and Talbot back, and that despite injuries and bad luck we gave a very good team everything they could handle.

After the first the Oilers took the Leafs to the woodshed. The Oilers right now have too many weak links that are costing them games at an alarming rate.

 

[LoovTrain]

Ok




Its 9:30pm here. You're dealing with Canada's Team. Not all of us live in Ontario.

Yeah, it appears that there are thousands of them in Edmonton.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

He is a garbage hockey player

Who would have thought?

 

[BayStreetBully]

What part of what I said was incorrect? Did Toronto not blow those leads, or did Russell not score on himself?

Leafs played like garbage tonight and Oilers still couldn't win. That's not a good thing!

 

[Cleetus]

What part of what I said was incorrect? Did Toronto not blow those leads, or did Russell not score on himself?

its just funny how you think that this was the leafs playing good, they played good enough to get the win, and its 2 points for the leafs who are now close to the top of the league, and the oil who are at the bottom failed to record a point, the point is they might of blew the lead but still won.

Not in terms of high danger scoring chances. Oilers have a throw everything at the net offence, that's what happens when there is very little skill beyond a couple of players.

Oilers are going to be playing desperate hockey for the next week and change, it's their only shot to salvage the season.

 

[PromisedLand]

Good guy Kadri

 

[LoovTrain]

After the first the Oilers took the Leafs to the woodshed. The Oilers right now have too many weak links that are costing them games at an alarming rate.

And yet they never led for a second.

I would expect a desperate team to fight back at home like they did after that debacle of a first.

They can thank Brossoit for this game not being a laugher after 20.

 

[MapleLeafistan]

Yes.

Your memory must be shot. If you don't remember the 2015 draft lottery when Edmonton won and all the leaf fans literally crying.

And what does that have to do with the result of this game?

 

[Cup or Bust]

They can thank Brossoit for this game not being a laugher after 20.

That is good for once. Most of time he is the reason the game is a laugher.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

He was honouring Steve Smith, let the man be...lol

 

[Skate2Stick]

Lol I don't care.

Obviously you do care, since you took time to reply.

 

[McFlash97]

lol the better team come on!

The Oilers lost the game. Handed the game on a silver platter to the Leafs. Care to educate us on how the Leafs were the better team for 3 periods ? Bear in mind we didn't start our #1 netminder and Our top 2 d.

 

[MapleLeafistan]

Yeah, it appears that there are thousands of them in Edmonton.

There's more in BC...especially in the interior.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Your memory must be shot. If you don't remember the 2015 draft lottery when Edmonton won and all the leaf fans literally crying.

Mcdavid looked like he wanted to cry too. But that's in the past. Look forward to the future. There's gonna be a good shot at Dahlin. Maybe Chiarelli will think he's good enough to keep around too.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Oilers playing well?

Oilers might come back?

Could it be?

Nope, just more Oiling. ****, what a heartbreaker.

If that's the Oilers playing well, and I just mean the whole game to that point.

That is not good.

 

[CanadianPantherFan]

Kevin Quinn blew it more than Russell. He has to be the worst on goal calls. What a goal, the Oilers are up! Skip ahead 5 secs... Puck not in net. The worst.

Enjoy your moral victory

note the giant blue blob in front of the net.

Oilers gave up 18 high danger scoring chances, that's not a recipe for success at any level.

I'm not saying the Leafs played a stellar game, but I'll take that win against a desperate team on the road.

Leafs would body Talbot, we did last year and we'd do it this year as well. He gave up 7 goals against them last year.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

note the giant blue blob in front of the net.

The blob is the smoke coming off Russells blade I'm assuming.

 

[A4T1L6]

Ouch. That was a disgusting way to lose.

get used to it
