Post-Game Talk: Major League: Bachman to the Minors ... 2-1 SO/L

[Nunymare]

Bachman. Check.

PP. Check.

PK... uh... squiggly line.

Get back home and build off this.

Meh, the PK wasn't too bad tonight I think. Has been better recently

 

[stratedge]

See and you guys were all like "if only we had a goalie we'd win". This team has deep problems. They are totally out classed by good teams.

They're like a junior team the way they play so chaotic.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Good for Bachman. I'm happy with this result to be honest. The other point would've been nice but I expected LA to talk all over the Oil. Bachman battled hard to get the extra point and should be rewarded with another few starts.

 

[oXo Cube]

Might have just been cherry picking his strong moments but I thought Belov was real good tonight as well.

Did you watch the game yesterday? Had Bachman been playing we're looking at 3 points on this trip instead of 1.

 

[Ragss]

Everyone was really physical. Lots of great hits. We've seen that before, but maybe this will be the first time they keep it up.

Second time all season they've been "out classed."

But the argument isn't that they'd be a good team with a goalie, just that they'd have won a few more games. Which is obvious.

Quick with 17 saves gets first star over Bachman, that seems about right...

So we got tending but forgot about scoring goals. But I'll take one point in LA. Hopefully Bachman can keep this up for a few games, likely won't last the whole season but just give me a stretch of games with good goaltending and I'd be happy.

EDM was playing decent through two periods. Not many chances, but they were keeping the Kings in check. Of course, the third was a different story, but still. They got a point.

BTW, Justin Schultz, man, what was he doing in the OT? He stops up, goes back towards his net so his team can change and what does he do? He throws it into the cluster of players trying to change. The hell didn't he just hold onto the damn puck for an extra few seconds so the players could actually complete the change? Frustrating as hell because I think the only reason the refs called it was because he threw it into the group of players. lol

Barbie can kindly go FO now.

 

[Ragss]

Out shot 48 to 18.

 

[Mentallydull]

As easy as it would be to jump all over the team for this loss, I'm interested to see how the team plays when they can put together a complete game (good goaltending, good scoring, good effort).

Lets not all jump off a cliff because Edmonton (a playoff MAYBE) got outplayed by a perennial Cup contender.

 

[Mr Forever]

Might have just been cherry picking his strong moments but I thought Belov was real good tonight as well.

It seems like him and Petry are playing literally the entire game

 

[Starbuds]

The Oilers a terrible team to gamble on. Who knows what shows up.

 

[Soli]

PK was 100%...if anything it's the PP that was disappointing

If we keep using the diamond we're never going to get back into respectability.

The PP wasn't far behind a squiggly line either. Bachman had me on a roll.

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

stole a point from a good team

I'll take it

But the argument isn't that they'd be a good team with a goalie, just that they'd have won a few more games. Which is obvious.

And if they had gotten some goaltending, they'd have some more wins and who knows, right? Confidence is a big thing. I'm not saying they're a better team either and they do lack depth, but when players are rolling, hard work can really overcome a lot.

 

[SeriousBusiness]

Bachman's not the hero Edmonton deserves, but the one we need right now.

 

[McGoMcD]

ok road game against a tough team and Bachkman steals us a point. This is what teams with good goalies do....

Nice. He starts vs the leafs.

 

[McOilbleeder]

Well the good news is Bachman played well. Hopefully he can keep it up. (I'm pretty sure that's the first game we've kept opposition to 1 GA). Played decently physical against a very gritty team. So that's a win.

Sad news is we got 1 point instead of 2. From what I watched, I didn't think we played well.

Still 1 point is better than nothing with this bunch.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Nitpicking here but I think Eakins should've gone with Hemsky in the shootout instead of RNH.

Not sure what Perron was thinking on his shot.

 

[IDuck]

Glad to see bachman had a game for you guys. Got to see him play his 1st pro game and got to know him while he was playing here in the ECHL, so I have been following his career.... Very good goalie who's only downfall is he is a bit small (for today's standards).. Thought he had a pretty good run with Dallas but was somewhat the odd man out behind Letty/Campbell...Hope he does well for you guys

5-hole I believe...

We kept Ottawa to one as well.

After seeing our goalies give points away, I'm not going to sit here and moan that we only got one tonight.

 

[Nunymare]

Some good defensive plays by Arco this game too. Belov with some nice plays as well.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

5-hole I believe...

Yeah but he raised the puck a bit. If he slid it along the ice he might've had something.
