Post-Game Talk: Oilers 2 Jets 1

[CantHaveTkachev]

Talbot is a rock

that is all

 

[nabob]

Buff is a high event player at both ends of the ice. Didn't realize he was like a big tough Schultz in his own zone.

 

[NeverForget06]

Also praise Talbot! The guy has been amazing of late

 

[Mr Positive]

Is Klefbom coming back yet

 

[VainGretzky]

Can we stop the Yak defending in here Maroon has more points in 3 games then yak has in 2 months.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Minus our two best d men!

And RNH and Gryba and Pouliot

 

[nabob]

Give that kids greasy stache 3rd star.

 

[McAsuno]

Cam Talbot has a .967 SV% and a 1.17 GAA in his last six games

Talbot has stopped 201/208 shots in that 6 game span.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Okay game.

Really pisses me off that they had no physical answer all night to buff. He was running around all night.

Wins without mcdavid getting points is meh.

i agree it's annoying but... What are you supposed to do to him, he's the toughest biggest guy in the league. What we needed to do more of was take runs at their skill guys. I mean we'd have to find a skill guy on the Jets first. Then we take runs at them.

 

[oXo Cube]

Personally I would be happy if this was the Byfuglien we could normally get.

Let him 'throw his weight around' if he wants, dude was a liability tonight.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Talk about panic in the final minute. 2 chsnces to clear. Team worked hard though which is all you can ask for. With only 5 d men they hung there. Really sucks about Davidson

Really no idea why McLellan went with Cracknell and Hendricks there.

 

[Jepprey]

Good win.

Scary last two minutes though. Lol.

 

[psowrc]

Hall/Drai weak on the puck in our end along the boards in the second...trying to pick it away from Schieffle without using the body and losing repeatedly. That is painful to watch...

Talbot unbelievable...

Love seeing Buff be the goat on both goals...

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

call up Musil, Simpson or Oesterle?

 

[ohheyhemsky]

call up Musil, Simpson or Oesterle?

I still don't know why Oesterle was sent down. He was solid.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Solid road win but you wish the Oilers would have had an answer for Byfuglien. The Jets are the kind of team the Oilers need to be. We need to learn to wear down the opposition and really make them push for the 2 points if we are going to give them up. Really physical game tonight - we had to fight for every inch of the ice but we had a solid 3rd period and nice to see us actually managing to hold on to the lead.

Curious as to why Yakupov got replaced with Korpikoski. Maybe T Mac was trying to get a big body on each line to bolster up against the Jets in the third.

..and those two had a nice cycle for Maroon's goal. Hall battled hard all night and was one of the few that had no chicken **** mentality to go against the boards with Byfuglien on his ass.

 

[oStealthKiller*]

Nice to see yak and mcd go to each other after the last whistle on the bench and high five/talk/laugh.

Looking for reasons why he was moved off the line and all I can think of is he looked nonchalant a few times that I noticed - McClellan may be trying to make him eliminate that so his game is 100% effort all the time

 

[t0nedeff]

Get ready for Mclellan to throw Nikitin and Clendening in the line up at the same time.

 

[nabob]

call up Musil, Simpson or Oesterle?

I'd like to see Simspon get a showing.

 

[Spawn]

We won but there was nothing in that game to be happy about.

Winnipeg dictated the pace outside of the first 5 minutes which is pathetic as Winnipeg played last night too.

Oilers played a great road game, got the win, go 3-1 on the road trip and here you are .



I think I saw a piece of the sky falling earlier. Better go find some cover.

Tonights win was made even more impressive by the fact that the team was out one of it's two best d-men for the majority of the game.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

team finally has some grit in its game...5 d-men (our 2 best out) and still kept the Jets to low-% shots..relatively speaking

 

[Del Preston]

Talbot now has a 2.51 GAA and .919 SV% for the season.

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

Byfuglien brings offense, toughness, and he's a pest but his defense sucks now.

I noticed that as well. You actually see them look for eachother after goals too. I think they get along, which is nice.
