Post-Game Talk: Make Edmonton Great Again (MEGA)

[Mez]

Edmonton Oilers @ San Jose Sharks, 2019-01-08

Jesus Christ...Khaira had a 3% Corsi tonight. 3.

He was terrible...and Hitch was complaining about our top guys being minus players.....start by taking him off of the first line.

 

[McRpro]

I feel nothing after that loss. It’s refreshing.

Yes. I have reached that state as well. Glad I have but even the wins don't do anything for me. Maybe I'm finally beating this oileritis disease.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Fact: Nobody in that room cares more than Lucic.

About his paycheck? Agreed.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Time for a players-only closed-door meeting. Except half the team remains in the room and the door is permanently locked.

 

[foshizzle]

Hitch has also been garbage with his brutal line combos and systems play.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

I can't recall the last time I have felt anger watching the Oilers play. The Oilers should be counting their blessings being only 2 points out of the last wild card spot after their horrible stretch. Instead, they put up p*ss poor effort game after game as if the season is already over. You can blame the coach, the GM, the owner, or the organization, but at the end of the day the game is played by the players on the ice. The least the players can do is show any semblance of wanting to win; the entire team played like they were just there so they don't get fined. Despite what it feels like, the season is not lost yet. With the Ducks, Avs, and Wild struggling, the last two wild card spots are still up for grabs. I just hope that the team realizes this too.

i think i agree.

i look at it as coaching too.

it didn't seem to matter who was on the ice.....the sharks destroyed them on the forecheck and the oilers really couldn't stop the cycle.

 

[The Batman]

Greatest player in the world surrounded by trash.

Shit depth and defense. Mind boggling trades.

Fire Chia NOW.

 

[nexttothemoon]

I don't get why we traded depth scoring for a guy were healthy scratching...who costs more money...and is signed longer than this season

You are obviously not a professional NHL GM who has scouted the player for several years or you'd know... reasons.

You're not an expert.

 

[Canada Drai]

Basically the same story as us tonight. Except they probably played better.

Ripped this from the mains.

But Manning and Petro...

 

[McDrailers]

That’s true but the signing isn’t really his fault. Who says no to $$$ even if they know they don’t deserve hahaha

I feel bad for the guy. He seems like a guy with some pride. He’s a shell of his bruins self. Seriously when’s the last time Lucic got fired up like that handshake line. I honestly believe he’s devastated that things have gone this way

 

[GMofOilers]

Hitch looks seriously depressed in the post game show

I’m actually getting worried for his health

 

[McRpro]

Can't start a fire when this team can't even spark a light.

Know any guns for hire?

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

I've honestly stopped caring. I haven't watched a full game in weeks. The Oilers are legitimately killing my love for them and it hurts to admit it.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Don’t worry guys I’m sure Chia can plunge up some good players.

 

[Magnum23]

I think Spooner deserves more crap. He is bad and we have to pay him 3 MILLION.

I agree - I’m not saying Lucic is good but spooner is literally invisible on the ice

 

[nexttothemoon]

Say what you want about the Ben Scrivens era. Those guys played for each other. Not their fault the coaching was that of a timbits lebel

Now we're fondly remembering the "Scrivens era".

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

But Manning and Petro...

every move he has made this year has made no sense

 

[nabob]

I've honestly stopped caring. I haven't watched a full game in weeks. The Oilers are legitimately killing my love for them and it hurts to admit it.

I’m in the same boat. I check to see how many points McDavid gets and watch a period or two if I have nothing better to do.

 

[McDrailers]

Just imagine what McDavid could do with a winger like Kane or Marchand or even Jake freaking Guentzal if he can do this with Alex Chiason and Ty Rattie lol

 

[Canada Drai]

Now we're fondly remembering the "Scrivens era".

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Now we're fondly remembering the "Scrivens era".

I remember the Cam Barker era... good times when he was our worst defenseman.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I’m worried for my health. This deep down boiling feeling of hate for Chia I get every game can’t be good for me.

 

[McDrailers]

I remember the Cam Barker era... good times when he was our worst defenseman.

Theo Peckham would be top 4 on this roster

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

The Oilers were better before the introduction of the salary cap.

Can we have the grind it out 90's Oilers from my childhood pls?
