Post-Game Talk: Oilers lose 3-0. The lockout was more fun than this.

[Raab]

We're looking like the worst team in NHL history.

Fixed

Taylor Hall needs to sit on the bench. Dude doesn't have the mental capacity to play the intelligent finesse game.

Yes, that 9th overall scoring last year was total fluke.

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

both teams were anemic offensively

we were just slightly worse defensively

 

[Rafters]

Just a bunch of 5 and 6 million dollar turnover machines that can't win a battle or give a decent effort for 15-20 mins a game.....

Watched the second half of the game (first game in a while), and I couldn't get over how bad Eberle looked. I don't think I've even seen him look this bad. Total non-factor out there.

I had my doubts about Nichushkin earlier in the year, but I must say that I was impressed by his game tonight.

 

[Kirby]

Hall: healthy scratch, or at least should be

 

[Starbuds]

does anyone remember when Cujo was here, and he had that game against detroit and made 52saves preserving a nothing nothing tie? Those were the days

The character days. The blue collar days. The good days.

 

[nexttothemoon]

I blame myself. Way too optimistic to think this team was capable of 11th in the West.

I bow to the wisdom of IATL and everyone else who said they were a last place team again.

 

[oilman9482]

Positives: Dubbie, Yak, Arco, good effort overall.

Negatives:RNH was off his game, no puck luck, Gagner isn't an NHLer.

 

[CupofOil]

LOL, just when i thought it couldn't get any worse.
I can't recall 1 high quality scoring chance in the last 2 periods and i believe it's now 10+ periods without scoring a goal at home. Holy ****ing ****!!!!!!!

I have been against firing Eakins so early into his tenure and i still think most of this is on the players but something has to be done to salvage some pride. Firing Eakins looks to be the only option at this point. It's just not working and it's getting worse every game.

Yes i remember that day well, it was on December 10th, my birthday.

 

[Asher]

I feel like I should be mad but I just don't care.

Unless you're a tier 1 fan there isn't a lot to be angry about at this point.

 

[Mentallydull]

not watching anymore games until there are major changes in the organization

I'm with you.

I stick around through the hard times but enough is enough.

I'm sad to see what this organization has become.

 

[SnapVirus]

Honestly, I watched Oilers last 4 games and its horrific.

Why is the gameplan drop and chase? Aint your forwards skilled enough to get it to the net? Why are the forwards ALWAYS playing behind the net when they have absolutely no size and grit? I think it would be better to do a 2 guys pressure and have the third one close enough in front of the net, with the players you have.

And the defence is pure ****, its even harder to get the puck out of the zone. Dubnyk is not good, but the defence make him look even more bad than he is.

I really hope for you guys that Eakins/GM get fire tomorrow morning or that a big trade to shake up that team happens soon enough. I watched the Habs suck 2 years ago, and I had a terrible time. I cant even think how hard it must be for you to see you team suck for 4-5 years. God. Its time to turn that team around. SOON.

 

[flashy]

i find it very odd that the media continues to chase yakupov around about ice time like it has any bearing on how this team is doing.

How about asking the actual people in charge of this gong show

 

[McXLNC97]

Yes, that 9th overall scoring last year was total fluke.

He's not a finesse player like a Hopkins or Eberle....he needs to stop playing that way.....look no further then his bonehead play that lead to the 2-0 goal.

 

[Joey Moss]

I thought we played solid tonight. - Sam Gagner

Un.Be.Lievable.

 

[Wheathead]

The Western Conference is like a picnic where all the other teams bring beef, but the Oilers bring muffins.

 

[Gobo]

Yes, that 9th overall scoring last year was total fluke.

I'd say so. Not even facetious. Outlier year, not saying he's not talented but no way he's top-10 in scoring again in his career.

I wonder if Oilers game ticket prices will go down.

 

[Tarus]

I bet MacT already has a few trades lined up.

It took him 3 weeks to trade an NHL defenseman for mediocre prospects, and stated he's "hopeful" that is all he has to do like dumping a defenseman and signing a nutball goaltender was the cure for all the team's ills.

He's got nothing going on

You could find Fox News panel at a democratic convention with a perspective closer to reality than Mact's take on this team.

 

[Oiltankjob Fail]

There's no way the Oilers are this bad.



I'm starting to seriously wonder if behind closed doors that the Oilers are purposely losing for a player that management wants.

Turn off Alex Jones bud.

 

[McXLNC97]

Oilers still WINLESS against the Western Conference.

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

I think at this point it's a guarantee that we're going to get Ekblad.

 

[The Moose]

The Western Conference is like a picnic where all the other teams bring beef, but the Oilers bring muffins.

Low fat mother ****ing granola muffins.

The character days. The blue collar days. The good days.
