Post-Game Talk: Montreal 6- Oilers 2 but of French.

[Mowzie]

Not a fun one.

Schedule gets tougher.

Skinner looking like he's settling into his backup role.

[Mez]

Doing our part to ensure that the Habs don't get a high draft puck.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Tabernac.

Sacre bleu.

Time to go out and get a smoked meat sandwich.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

5/8 points on a road trip isn't bad.
But playing the 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 26th place teams, 5/8 points is pretty underwhelming, regardless if it's their 4th game in 6 days. I didn't expect them to take all eight points but 6 was there for the taking. Every point matters now.

Another reason to hate the NHL schedule, maybe if they visited these cities more than once a year as a team, they'd be less interested in the night life.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Can't win them all, and we were due for a loss. Disappointing effort, but start a new point streak next game.

 

[Moregoalspls]

Whoever said drai looks like Lucic is spot on

 

[CookiesAndMilk]

big oof game

 

[brentashton]

Jack was still pleasured by the game.

Yeah superbowl sunday in another City, easy to mentally check out for this one.

Back to the drawing board. Hopefully these last few games shows management and coaching what we lack as a team heading into the deadline.

It had to come at some point. I was not confident we were winning two back to back afternoon games on the road.

 

[CupofOil]

9-0-2 in their previous 11, not gonna sweat this one. On to the next one...

 

[KarmaPolice]

His plus/minus on the season is now at 0. So many lazy defensive efforts this season. I wish he'd get his rear in gear. He's better than this -- much better.

 

[Stealth1616]

Chalk this up as a game to forget about. On to the next one.

Sign to Holland that this term needs improvement though

 

[Mr Positive]

Of course Seattle came back against Philly. It's not over yet but not looking like a great day on the OOT scoreboard

 

[Ibanez]

So so delicious. Pair it with a black Cherry soda. Heaven.

I agree with you but I also want to add that they should already know at this point and didn’t need another display like this to confirm it. The issue is for them to get on with making it happen.

 

[belair]

Good luck in Detroit, Jesse!

It's been a slice!

 

[dssource]

Pathetic effort. Outplayed by a garbage team.

I think they did the same thing last year on SuperBowl Sunday.

Forget this one and move on and start a new streak.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

A poor effort, but as I wrote in the gamethread: Who the hell schedules a western team to b2b morning games out east?!

 

[gordonhught]

I hate Super Bowl pregsme

 

[Oilhawks]

Posted this in the game thread but feel it fits here.

Habs and their fans today

 

[bellagiobob]

Embarrassing effort unfortunately taints the road trip. Five points out of four games against bottom feeders isn’t good enough at this point in the stretch run. At least Holland can hopefully see what the cracks are in the lineup and isn’t under any illusion that this is a championship calibre team.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

they were more concerned about their Super Bowl party then they were of winning a hockey game today

pathetic performance from the leaders of the team to Skinner

they deserved to get blown out

 

[nexttothemoon]

Team loss.

Desharnais looked like the best Oiler... which is probably not a good sign if Desharnais is the best Oiler.


2 days off and then it's home to wipe out Detroit.

I expect a BIG bounceback game in that one. It's the way the team responds to games like this that shows if this team has true compete/heart/desire. Don't let this game become the start of an extended downtrend... move on, play hard in the next one and start a new streak.
