McDavid hate rewarded by giraffes. lEafs beat Oilers.

How has RNH regressed so much since his rookie season???

He isn't being sheltered anymore.

Maybe he isn't a player though should be playing 21 minutes a night with tough matchups.

We could probably take the load off him a little bit if we didn't have the worst bottom six in the NHL.

 

[YEGman]

The only two forwards who played like they gave a damn were Drai and Hall. Color me surprised. Eberle and RNH playing puck tag with themselves and doing nothing to generate scoring chances.

Hall was a dreadful turn-over machine

 

[BarDownBobo]

The worst part about this recent streak is Nilsson is giving them solid goaltending every single night. But they're putting out **** efforts like that.

 

[Canovin]

Trade all the poison before it gets to McDavid. The last thing you want is McDavid learning how to lose

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

So we now have the same problem we've had for years.

Our young guys can't do it on their own, and they're being exposed to a depressing losing culture.

This team is no place for Drai/Nurse/Mcdavid right now.

This team should be relegated.

 

[McMozesmadness]

It's time to take the dog out behind the barn and put it out of its misery. It's time to move one or two of the "kids". Send a message.

This team is cancerous. Total disgusting, putrid effort.

He was never sheltered in any meaningful way.

More from the House That Kevin Lowe Built

At least Kevin will know he built the team that set the NHL record for most seasons out of the playoffs. A record that will probably never be broken because this team is still 3 or 4 years out.

That one really hurts. I'm from Ontario so I hear all about it from every Leaf fan out there.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

We say it every game. We need harder working grittier players. At least two in the top sixsix. Hard to get, but the team will be better and more fun to watch.

Most of these guys on the team can't even be bothered to finish a check. That's why people always say the oilers are easy to play against.

Prime example was phaneuf behind the net. Pouliot is going after him hard. Instead of bumping into and hitting phaneuf to separate him from the puck, he literally skates by him and taps him with his stick.

Pouliot is physical overall, but as a whole the entire team just doesn't do it. It's not in their DNA.

Hall was a dreadful turn-over machine

I don't give a **** if he turns over the puck when him and Drai were the only line generating scoring chances.

If you're gonna rip on any player, rip on the two wunderboys RNH and Eberle.

 

[NeverForget06]

time to blow this thing up. I remember when I questioned trading one RNH or Ebs. Dump all of these suckers!

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Few missed calls and a couple of posts and all the give a **** was gone. Chiarelli needs to do something fast. this is a very mentally fragile team.

What's new?

Looked like Hall didn't care if he turned it over, either.

Yes, I bet they are in the dressing room right now talking about their feelings.

Yeah, like everybody else on the team gave a **** in the first place, right? Here comes the typical Hall bashers.

 

[oilersfan87]

Everyone on this team either already sucks or is going to suck pretty soon. Being surrounded by a bunch of players with bad habits and no real motivation/belief in winning is not a good way to develop young players. It's not a coincidence that lots of players on the Oilers tend to get worse as they play more games. Soon Draisaitl and Nurse are going to start playing like the rest of the team. I think the only player that might be immune to the Oilers is McDavid but we'll have to wait and see.

 

[McPuritania]

This team has no shame.

 

[McTedi]

Poor execution and no secondary scoring threats. Also good to see Schultz hasn't lost his touch in turning the puck over. I think the Leafs had better chances on our PP. Looks like the boys are testing our GM's resolve.

 

[McDynasty]

Oilers can't hockey very good.

Ok, I almost cracked a smile. **** you Oilers, I can't even fully enjoy this epic website.

 

[Del Preston]

The Oilers could have gone from 30th to tied for 25th tonight if they won. The players must enjoy being at the bottom.

 

[McPuritania]

Games like this are the reason I don't feel too optimistic after wins. The Oilers get ahead of themselves after wins and then put in efforts like that.

Pretty much. One win, then a string of disgusting losses. Rinse repeat.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This team has no shame.

If they did it'd be the only thing they had.

How bad is it when we joked about Sparks getting a shutout against the Oilers only for it to become a reality?

This team is way too predictable.
