Score effects and you - NHL Numbers

Go learn something. Or just go polish your favorite "no kids on the lawn" sign, up to you.

Hahah love these stats naw the oilers plain lucked out their goalie finally backed stopped them to a win. Just like talbot did during the playoff season

How did we suck?

We didn't suck, we played a solid game but coudn't get that second goal. Some fans have no grasp about the game of hockey. They think unless you score more than 4 goals you sucked in the game lol We played a very good game

 

[DaGap]

You're the one saying they won wrong....

Yep they did. Thankfully their goalie was up for the game

 

[Cloned]

Tight Checking? lol the oilers handled the puck like a grenade. Made horrible choice in the defensive zone. Pathetic entry attempts.

This entire post couldn’t be more wrong.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Ahhhhhh. Oilers won but we've got that Drai-bashing urge. Just can't help ourselves.

It's almost like Draisaitl was garbage and deserves criticism

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

What a dirtbag team the flames are.

Just f***in gimmicks and chicanary and little moss sunshine.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

This entire post couldn’t be more wrong.

He's had about 5 wrong posts in a row.

He was god awful on the power play and we’re lucky it didn’t cost us.

 

[GMofOilers]

Both teams checked very well tonight. Not any room for either team.

Another W, Koskinen great again

And some even think McDavid is bad..... AHEM.

lol

 

[kevy999]

tbh when the horn went off at the end I thought the flames tied it,,That'd be a total Talbot move.

Get off talbots case. He played great the last two games for us and no need to trash him. We have two capable goalies

 

[nabob]

Did he play well tonight by your standards? Guessing since he got a point you think he was one of the best 4 Oilers out there.

Agree to disagree. They played the Flames well defensively, kept a lot of the cycling to the outside and didn't give up many high danger choices.
I don't like that they lost their aggressiveness in the 2nd half of the game but they still kept solid defensive posture.

The negativity from you is a little ridiculous, in my opinion. This team had two breakaways stopped, a post and a couple other point blank chances that should have ended up in the back of Calgary's net. The score flattered the Flames big time.

Are there things that need to improve? Sure. But maybe try enjoying the team winning a game that they needed to have. 6 points down on Calgary with a game in hand compared to 10 in arrears.

You dont think Rittich played a top percentile game tonight?

 

[BlackDogg]

They scratched Czarnik and sent Dube down so Peluso could play 2:28. lawl

Czarnek looked pretty decent I thought too. Seems like a poor tradeoff

 

[BudBundy]

That was a playoff style game, so super happy we came out on top. So impressed Hitch had Puljujarvi out there in the last minute and it paid off. TMac wouldnt have taken that risk in a billion years.

 

[MaxR11]

Soundwave, Great Keith, Little Fury etc after every win with a Chia built roster.....

 

[Missing smitty]

Yep they did. Thankfully their goalie was up for the game

You can't win wrong. Rittich stood on his head, Calgary had no business going into the 1st intermission only down by 1. Just go to bed before you make yourself look sillier.

 

[TheNumber4]

Yep they did. Thankfully their goalie was up for the game

And their team defence and their coaching and their control of their emotions (which was a key to this game), but sure goalie did it all.

 

[snipes]

Kassian is a god damn beast out there. Playing perfect hockey almost.

Hitch has him playing exactly the way he needs to.

And I don’t give a ****, Lucic has been playing an effective role under Hitch as well. Zero complaints with the effort and style of play I’ve seen from Looch under Hitch.

 

[BlackDogg]

Did flames out corsi though?

 

[GodPucker]

2 points baby
Everyone saying "Hitch hockey" and how the game was 1-0 ... we are getting plenty chances, especially in the first half of the game.
Our guys just need to figure out how to finish.

Exactly. This could have been a 6-2 game for EDM or so.
