Post-Game Talk: Oilers Lose 2-0

[OiledUp]

So we get the calls.
We get better D coverage.
We get goaltending.
Then suddenly we can't score.
This team keeps finding ways to lose.

 

[gooilgo]

Eakins fired in 3 - 2 .......

.....I ******* wish!

 

[smackdaddy]

How is being shut out on home ice progress?

It wasn't a blowout?

 

[Kulleroinen*]

Good job. Now can we finally get rid of those good old canadian kids?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Eakins fired in 3 - 2 .......

.....I ******* wish!

all reports are that he will survive the next 7 games--regardless of how the oilers play

 

[oobga]

Doh, didn't even win the even strength corsi battle. But, we didn't get totally embarrassed, so I guess that's a positive.

 

[Oil Spill]

Now were setting records for losing, is this rock bottom ?? I'm never sure with this team. I thought KLowe knew a thing or two about winning.

I just caught the end of this game, but man did it seem like you guys had trouble getting out of your own end. I know a lot of flak has come down on Eakins, and rightfully so it seems, it doesn't really look like there's any plan/game strategy. Guys were running into each other in the offensive zone, sloppy breakout, etc. Didn't really seem like the team had any flow, looked like a bunch of guys thrown out there just trying to do their own thing

I really think you guys would benefit greatly from a coaching change

I wouldn't say suddenly.

They rarely score consistently.

ok, you got me on a technicality.

 

[Jumptheshark]

bright spot--we only gave up 2 goals instead of 5

 

[McSomnii]

Well, at least Scrivens didn't channel his inner Dubnyk tonight, and I thought that the 4th line wasn't too bad overall.

Also, no offense to Nurse or Hunt, but it was really nice to see Marincin back where he belongs.

[Jeff Lebowski]

We played a good game.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Didn't even notice the 2nd and 3rd lines besides Yakupov in the 1st.

Oilers really need to give Hall-RNH-Yakupov 10 games in a row. I don't care if Yak doesn't gel with them in the first 2 games. This line is the most likely to put up big games.

Have Perron-Arco-Eberle, Pouliot-Drai-Purcell as the other 2 lines.

 

[McDrai]

At least the game was close this time?

Looks like Perron has been effectively Oiler'd.

Gonna be a long season.

 

[Spawn]

I'll say it now.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will never be more than a 55 point center in this league. Never.

He doesn't have it in him.

 

[PeakMcOil]

Inability to score 1 goal is more embarrassing than getting blown out.

It was a competitive game, and without the EN as close as a game can be.

We need points, but I'm not unhappy with the Oilers tonight. Good hockey game. Why Yak, Hall and RNH weren't put together is mind boggling to me though.

Fire Eakins.

 

[lopper]

McDavid here we come!!!

 

[hallhopkinseberle]

woot franchise record

Winning that Corsi battle... like a BOSS.

 

[shoop]

What reports?

2-9-1 overall after the next 7 would be an improvement, but is still brutal. How can he survive?

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Murphy's ****ing law at its finest. Scrivens ***** the bed, but the team scores 4. Scrivens plays pretty decent and allows one goal, team doesn't score at all.

**** you Murphy.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

yeah--more vbucks for me

Have the Oilers not given you enough reason to use real money?

I'm $36 up this season

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I'm at the point where I welcome the losses.
