Post-Game Talk: Merry Chiamas!

[MettleMcOiler]

Can we play Jones with Larsson?

Can we replace Benning with...anyone else?

Can't wait until our D-corp is healthy and sorted out. I am praying it will be in my life time.

Anyways Merry Christmas everyone!

Ehh they battled well. But you're not going to win icing a pairing of Gravel-Jones or Garrison-Benning, let alone both of them.

McDavid and Draisaitl were the only two that consistently created chances on the rush, beyond them the team looked slow and unpolished when setting up. That sloppiness was the difference on a few GA.

I'd have Wideman in for the next game and hopefully Russel is back after the break.

You guys honestly expected a win vs Tbay with a gutted defense? lol

 

[PeakMcOil]

Honestly that was a pretty fun game, couple posts go in and we are heading to OT. McDavid was on tonight, he's incredible to watch, easily the best player in the game and you could see that extra gear he has that no one can stop.

Look I'm as big a Nurse supporter as most but he just doesn't use his head sometimes. The difference in poise between him and Jones, a rookie, is staggering. You consistently see Jones take his time and make the correct play. Nurse gets something in his head and doesn't adjust. He had all kinds of options in the third there and he made literally the only wrong play he could. He's just maddeningly inconsistent.

I am torn on him because you know if he ever puts it together, he'll be dominant.

I think we have been scored on everytime hitch has pulled his tender

We did have a comeback started with the goalie pulled under Hitch.. but it feels so long ago

11 empty netters against this season.

I'm Muslim, so I don't celebrate in Christmas, am I still entitled to pray for Christmas miracles?

Nurse a -4 tonight. So I guess he was as bad as I thought he looked.

He was as dumb as a rock tonight, no doubt.

 

[TheNumber4]

An emergency trade for an established NHL dman, with a slight overpay..... could be time for a move like this.

He was already on the flight back.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Magnus Paajarvi ain’t ready for prime time.

Talk about the defense all you want but I'd also encourage people to take a look at what sorts of forwards were out on the 2nd unit power play tonight, too.

Just running players ragged at every position. Zero depth anywhere on the roster. Honestly impressive to see a team that lacks everything.

But you can celebrate Chiamas right?

Spooner leading the team with 4 give-aways in barely 6.5 minutes of time. Can we just send this guy away some where? There's at least 3 guys in Bako I'd rather have on the team than him.

The second unit has been a disaster all season. The penalized player should be let out once the first unit goes to the bench.

Another fantastic Chia diamond.

I'm still partial to Nurse and retained Lucic for Andrew MacDonald and Nolan Patrick

Yep. That is all. On the GM

This is our Christmas present, everyone! Your Edmonton Oilers with still no quality depth on forward and defense. Way to go, Chia. You shouldn't have. No seriously, you really, truly shouldn't have.

Patrick is potentially an even bigger bust than Pulju.

 

[Oilhawks]

Am I alone in thinking TBL are overrated? On their way to another regular season dynasty. Could only put up 5 on an AHL defense.

Would they really give up on Patrick?

On the first day of Chiamas, my Chia gave to me, one Griffin Reinhart.

On the second day of Chiamas, my Chia gave to me a lump of Larsson for our 2nd best player.

On the third day of Chiamas, my Chia gave to me a big fat Milan Lucic.

One Jesse Pooooljarvi, lots and lots of scrubs, Eberle for Stromers, and a partridge in a pear tree.
