Post-Game Talk: Oilers Lose 2-1 in OT

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

We need to score on the PP.

That would have been the game.

 

[Yablo21]

Ref Bad for Ekblad?

 

[HemksyCares]

not sure how you upload a picture on here, but willis uploaded a clear pic of henrique holding the stick..

Yes, he grabbed the stick, held for less than a full Mississippi. Could've went either way, ref decided he didn't hold him back enough. Oh well. Wasnt THAT bad.

Cost us the game, so it was bad.

 

[HemksyCares]

quinn and lebrusk are morons. no comment about the blatant holding the stick? Blamed the 3rd period of oilers being "tired." good grief, i hate sportsnet.

Your ears must've been full of rage: debrusk commented on the non call during the replay. Being tired affected the outcome more than anything.

Here's the pic

**** happens. I'll take the point after a b2b, I'm happy to be noticing improvements in the team. I know the wounds are fresh though

A stoppable puck that slips through Bryz was more to blame, ill speculate that ilya would agree.

 

[McOilbleeder]

Good game by the boys tonight. I wonder how we'd be in the East.

That goal wasn't his fault.

 

[jp7]

Also, my god... Jagr is a man amongst boys, I still can't believe his age

East is so much weaker than the West.

 

[Sloth Slothersons*]

We'd probably win the President's Trophy if we were in the East

I hope he gets traded to a contender again.

 

[BarDownBobo]

It's too bad Eberle didn't look to Marincin instead of taking the shot in OT, he was wide open.

 

[jp7]

I hope he gets traded to a contender again.

I think they would be smart to trade him, but they're also in the playoff race so it'll be interesting to see what happens. I don't think he goes anywhere, but I could easily be wrong

@EdmontonOilers
"We're more happy with the style of play we have right now. We're playing with way more intensity, winning battles." @hallsy04

Agreed.

 

[T-Funk]

and if they add hitting we'll be doing pretty good

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

well, we're relatively healthy going into the break. Hopefully RNH's hand will be fine with some ice and rest.

We should be able to finish the season strong.

 

[HemksyCares]

A double clutch slapper from that far, with no traffic, under the arm, to that player. I'd say thats stopped 49/50 times. Too much goes into every play to find one fault, but there were a few problems that play.. That pic posted of the stick hold shows two oilers watching while the scorer slips in from the point. Alot went wrong, but yes, a call would have been nice.

The missed call shouldn't overshadow the effort tonight, especially Yak. He was everywhere tonight.

To me this is key. They need to put the losing behind them and finish the season on a high note so they can hit the ground running next season.

I woke up at the end of the 2nd intermission. Yakupov is getting better but he needs to commit more in the defensive zone. Eakins needs to teach him that.

I liked the way Yak and Hall battled tonight ; for sure. I still don't like that brutal miss called of Henrique. Oh well. We had a good road trip. On to the sochi olympics.

Not at all "blaming" Bryz, he played very good. I just imagine that he was unhappy that he left that hole for it to squeeze through

We need to figure out our PP because the lack of production is hurting us.

Best stretch of games in a long time, regardless of the final scores. Eakins comments were pretty spot on. Hed love to have got the call but wasnt expecting it in OT and pointed to a D zone breakdown as the biggest issue.

The break will do this team good.

Go Canada go!
