GDT: LXXIV | "8 Miunutes Before 8" | Oilers @ Stars | 4.3.24 | 7:52PM | SNW/SN360

[frag2]

They draft fast playing players, we draft fast skaters. It’s such a massive difference. They have guys who think the game very well. We draft speed skaters who are trying to learn to play hockey.

They draft Johnston
We draft Bourgault

 

[CycloneSweep]

Somehow Kane is more overpaid than Nurse.

Both those clowns can f*** off in the summer.

They will be there in camp.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

maybe, you'll never figure it out

Touché

 

[bellagiobob]

We are giving such little effort this period that the refs can’t even gift us a PP. Sad.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Not sure why people are talking about bringing Campbell up when we have exactly 0 goals tonight.

because the Oilers need to play a system, can't have Bouchard deep in the offensive zone all game... it's garbage

 

[nexttothemoon]

Everything has to go perfect for the Oilers to beat Dallas or the Avs... or else they simply don't have what it takes... not good enough defensively... not enough consistent offensive depth... not good enough in net consistently either.

 

[CycloneSweep]

They draft Johnston
We draft Bourgault

They draft Robertson and Oettinger, we draft Yamamoto.

 

[kevy9999]

We’re gonna be 2-1-2 in our last 5 against higher opponents. This game included.

I would feel better about the next game if they would only play like they hated what was going on this game. They haven't though. They are playing like they accept this shit.

Leaders have no passion. They accept things

 

[Old Boys Club]

Watched some of the game at the gym, which is basically only where I watch these days.

This game shows the difference between a well managed team and a team run by Chiarelli/Holland. Dallas with big contributions from Robertson, Stankoven, Oettinger, Johnston while Holland's big contract(s) has been at fault for 3 GA and the other has been in bakersfield all year with the guys he drafted over the aforementioned Stars.

 

[EnufAlready]

They draft Johnston
We draft Bourgault

And Stankoven is a beauty as well. Smaller guy. Huge engine and skill

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Leaders have no passion. They accept things

They certainly use to…

 

[bellagiobob]

At what age does Nurse discover his toolbox. 40?

 

[CycloneSweep]

I really like Dallas 4th line

 

[Sanchez]

And Stankoven is a beauty as well. Smaller guy. Huge engine and skill

We f***ing suck at drafting.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Jack and Louie just having a random convo lol

 

[Broberg Speed]

Oilers draft from another list than the Stars... thank you Gary.

 

[EnufAlready]

At what age does Nurse discover his toolbox. 40?

Its a Fisher Price Toolbox….

 

[BlackDogg]

The Stars are the real stars of this game.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Just leave the ice and forfeit if you aren't going to work.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

It might be that second line that is dragging everything down for me. Perry has no business being up there. Woof

Yeah, I’d rather see McLeod and Brown there.

 

[smokersarejokers]

45 wins and a +55 goal differential to start.

Plus it’s the playoffs. It’s the biggest chaos bomb in sports. Anything can happen.

What do the stats look like since the all star break?

I want to believe, but man I'm having a hard time thinking anything will be different.

I can't stand seeing the same mistakes every bloody time they play anyone higher than them in the standings. They just seem so easy to play against and they crumble under any pressure.

 

[kevy9999]

They certainly use to…

This is not playoffs yet but very concerning mcdavid and drai showing no passion over getting their ass kicked

 

[NedPlimpton]

I can't comment on the previous two periods but seeing the score I was at least expecting some pushback and effort here to finish.

I've see pretty much none. I don't like it.

 

[RandomGuy79]

Would be nice to see the team put an effort out there and get 1 or 2 at least instead of just skating around waiting for the game to end.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Just figure skate. F*** it
