Post-Game Talk: Oilers lose 3-2 in OT ...so close, yet so far

[McPuritania]

Sooo..are we back to being happy with 1 pt and moral victories??

Yup, otherwise you are a bipolar lunatic.

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

Hey lets take next to no shots in the last 25 minutes of the game and expect to win.

 

[Comrade Blunderbore]

i'll take this point but the defensive coverage on the OT goal was unacceptable!!!

 

[Suxnet]

Khabi saved the team's ass soooo many times. He was not bad.

 

[CorpseFX]

Petry is out of position a lot and Smid has to save him.

He's done that too many times this year.

Kids got to learn eventually I hope.

those are "Defense 101" mistakes that youre taught not to do in squirts/mights.

 

[OilerTyler]

I hope Krueger feels good about giving Khabi and Smyth opportunities.

Youth will be served...

We would've lost in regulation if Dubnyk was in net

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

I hope Krueger feels good about giving Khabi and Smyth opportunities.

Youth will be served...

Yeah, gotta think that Dubby will now start most of the games on this roadtrip.

As for Smyth... yeah, thank god Hall is back next game. That whole line looked slow.

 

[dookers9]

Aaannnnd queue the meltdown and fire Krueger threads.

Lol. No doubt.

O/t loss to best team. We weren't perfect. Who expected it?

 

[Burger Baron]

Petry gets burned...and then skates behind the net when the puck is front...???

 

[MaximusT]

As an outside observer who has not watched many Oiler games this season but tuned in to see Yakupov play in the 3rd period..Where was he?
Has he been playing bad? I saw he scored, so I was surprised they had benched him.

 

[Groucho]

"Yay, we got a point!"

And we wonder why no one wants to play here with that loser mentality.

Oh lord.
We took a point out of their building against the best team in the NHL.


BURN IT DOWN!!!

 

[Faelko]

Look at it this way, played like garbage and got a point?

Plus, I won my vcash bet.....(hides)

 

[McBooya42]

Haha the Oilers suck.

At least we're still a .500 team.



Probably end up being one by seasons end.

It'd be a hell of an improvement over last year...

 

[OilCity]

Pretty frustrating to watch the 1st line right now. It's tiring

 

[goggog]

I hope Krueger feels good about giving Khabi and Smyth opportunities.

Youth will be served...

Yea hardly Khabi or Smyth's fault we lost...

 

[Angelus*]

I'm a big fan of Eberle but he's been garbage more often than not so far. And lol @ Sportsnet "Those young Oilers sure gave them a run for their money!". No they didn't.

 

[McDNicks17]

I actually hate this team right now. Cant finish, cant do anything.

The games have been pretty tough to watch this year.

 

[Oiltankjob Fail]

This game was set up for a loss before game started with line ups . Eliminate first line from being effective by placing a pylon on wing. Bench our sniper. Its the same philosphy we have seen from every coach . Nothing is changing for this team till Katz clears house period.

 

[McXLNC97]

Jordan Eberle needs to play a game on the 4th line. Not only is he not scoring, but he is playing like a lazy dog defensively. There were numerous instances today where he could have gotten to a puck and made a play if he actually skated. He's just standing around waiting for others to do the work.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

Eberle and RNH need to be benched. You wanna play this ******, take a seat in the PB.

 

[CupofOil]

Pretty undeserved point IMO. The last 2 periods were all Hawks, typical sit back hockey dictated by the opposition, they just play the wrong way. RNH and Eberle were god awful, just inexpicably awful. They looked like they didn't even belong in the big leagues tonight. I have no idea what Petry was doing on the OT goal.
At least they got a point in an extremely tough building but they were pretty much outclassed. It's amazing that this team is 7-7-4 the way they have been playing this season for the most part.

 

[Spawn]

Not impressed at all with this game. This team is garbage. Chicago played last night. You would think they would be the tired team in the 3rd. Nope, Oilers didn't even look like they belonged on the same ice with that team.

11 shots in the final 2 periods... what a joke. I don't care if the Hawks are the best team in the league. Another inexcusable effort from the worst franchise running.

RNH and Eberle need to be split up. They are not working at all together. Funny how once Hall is out they basically stop getting chances.

 

[BDG]

Eberle and RNH sucked tonight. Not enough shots. Glad we stuck with the best team in the league and got a point, but should have had 2 points...that missed shot by Yak on the PP....sad

 

[Tom Brady]

Eberle and RNH are garbage with out Hall, especially Eberle, he's been pretty ******** bad this year.

Hossa just ******* walked around the defense without getting touched, too soft.

 

[McDNicks17]

I'm a big fan of Eberle but he's been garbage more often than not so far. And lol @ Sportsnet "Those young Oilers sure gave them a run for their money!". No we didn't.

Haha, yeah, Chuckled at that too.
