Post-Game Talk: Oilers choke

[CrazyJoeDavola]

We can't get a breakout pass. We can't get a puck on net. We can't chip 'n chase because we're too slow outside of 2 players. We've looked really bad for three games and until we fix the backend, get some finesse on mcds line, and get a better bottom 6 I'm not sure we're going to be able to go far.

 

[oobga]

Call everything for 2 periods, and then nothing when Chicago is molesting our players through the 3rd.

Can't believe I got excited to watch the NHL again. Crash course to remember on how lame this league is.

 

[ZJuice]

man I feel bad for Bear on that one, especially in a tie game with 1 minute left

He’ll be working at extreme beyond maximum effort now.

 

[McOilers97]

It sucks that we NEED him to play well in every game in order to win, but McDavid just didn’t have it tonight.

 

[Captain Controversy]

we needed Larsson. We need Ryan McLeod or Nygard.
f*** the Oilers.

 

[Wewillrise]

They were handing it to them most of the third, could feel a lucky bounce coming for the hawks. They got 2

 

[Da McBomb]

That was one frustrating game to watch

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Man f*** this team. See you guys in January lol.

We have no depth after McDavid Nuge and Draisaitl.

Our goalies are both not good enough.

Our defense has been shit for 14 f***ing years.

 

[belair]

Those penalties killed us. Lost all flow from our lines and could barely put two passes together.

We missed Larsson as well. Dach ran our shit all night. Screened Koskinen for the first goal, drew the penalty for the second, then he blows up Ennis.

Can't believe this series is going the length to win. This team is so much better than the Hawks.

 

[YakDavid]

The series is done.

There is no chance we come back from that.

Thanks Oilers for another pointless season.

See you all on Friday, I’ll have 60 ready so at least I’ll be numb when we get eliminated.

That's a piss poor attitude bud. Maybe mix in a water

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Just have draisaitl win it back on his strong side, who f***ing cares at this point.

 

[wingsfan17]

How many Hawks goals this series are deflections? Why can't the oilers try more of that? The D-men NEVER shoot.

 

[3IR]

How unlucky are we that every one of our dmen outside Russell decided to play their absolute worst hockey for the last 3 games?


Klef looked like he was beginning to wake up for a few minutes that game, but that’s the only pulse he’s shown all series.

If we lose this it’s 100% on the D.

 

[Samus44]

They need to take away sticks. On both those goals Nurse is doing nothing. I understand being in position to box your man out on the first and when a guy cuts across he's hard to step up on but the second he's covering nobody and Bear is left trying to cover both Hawks and ends up tipping it in because he's trying to win a losing game.

In saying that it's one game. Both us and the Pens are down and nobody saw that coming. The refs and the Hawks beat us tonight and if there's on thing I trust a Tippett coached team to do it's correct it's mistakes. The coverage in front will be better and guys will get boxed out with sticks checked, we'll be more disciplined, and hopefully the lines are switched up a bit for some more chemistry. I think we win the series still.

 

[KarmaPolice]

What kind of game plan did the Oilers have in this game? The coach is a joke. Another loser hired by this team.

It seemed like a merely reactionary game plan to me. We never really set the pace. A team that wants to win will set the pace, and I just didn't see it.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

People blaming McDavid. Predictable.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Nurse literally flipping the puck out or rimming it to the other team all game. We can't deal with pressure whatsoever and any braekout pass explodes off the guy's stick

 

[DaGap]

Not sure why people are upset.

This isn't a continuation of the season. This is a new season and Oilers are showing that their not that good

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

It's not McDavid or Tippett's fault. The third period was working fine, and McDavid was engaged defensively all game.

Stupid Sheahan can't control a puck and lets it get to the worst place on the ice. He literally cost us the game.

If your plan for the Oilers going into the third is to clamp up you’re a shitty coach.

 

[Tom Brady]

The defence is just putrid. you can't win games let alone series with that type of defence.

0 goals for, 3 owen goals. WTF? what kind of defence is that.

 

[nafrelio]

Bear is going to feel bad about that one for awhile

Bear's dman partner Nurse was in no-man's land leaving Bear guarding two Hawks. If Nurse was in position, Bear would have been closer to Toews and wouldn't have tipped it in. Nurse is at fault for that one.
What a choke job.

 

[NeverForget06]

Cue the hot takes from the negative crew

I am out of here !!!

 

[Mowzie]

Time to put Haas in and hope he can win a face-off.

 

[iCanada]

Not sure how on an even corsi game we end up with 3 penalties drawn to the hawks 8. Kind of a joke.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

We’ll come out like someone lit our ass on fire in Game 4 and win.

Then we’ll get cocky and lose Game 5.

Typical Oilers.
