Post-Game Talk: Oilers outplayed, only McDavid and Hyman show up

[The Moose]

Battle of "Who gets swept by Colorado".

 

[McJadeddog]

So, so dissapointed in Nurse and Drai. Two guys supposed to be our leaders.

Honestly, they both have a really, REALLY, long leash from my right now. They are both fairly badly injured and likely shouldn't be playing at all. Drai for sure shouldn't be, and Nurse likely wouldn't in the regular season right now either. They are far from the problems tonight.

 

[McOilers97]

Just have to be ready to play in game 2. It's frustrating that it seems like this team can't lock into playing the way they're supposed to - they have to "learn a lesson" after getting punched in the mouth and then that lasts for a game or two and then they have to relearn that same lesson again - kinda like a dog that misbehaves, gets scolded by it's owner, and then goes right back to the same misbehavior within minutes.

 

[Kerberos]

I’m just saying, the game nurse didn’t play our defence was solid

And in game 7 against the Kings it was even better and Nurse had a great game. So maybe don't conveniently ignore the fact that he can play well when he wants to.

His inconsistency right now is maddening. If he's injured then he should sit.

 

[CycloneSweep]

And of course Sutter puts out the clown show to end it. Need to remember that and motivate us. Burn the game tape and get prepared for game 2. A lot of guys need to reach down and find their balls.

Kassian had zero f***ing hits in a BoA game.
Our supposed #1 defender had zero hits and a single shot.

The only players on our team that brought any physicality was Kane, McDavid and Archibald. Everyone else were cowards.

 

[McDrai]

I don't like our odds this series boys . Ah well

On the bright side, whoever wins this series will get demolished by Colorado anyways. Both of these Alberta teams blow chunks.

 

[Oilhawks]

Let’s not kid ourselves here, both of these teams had the advantage of playing against the easiest opponents in the first round. Neither team is going anywhere after this series and will be blown up by Colorado.

100% agreed. I think even St Louis (who was not good last night) takes either team out in 5 or 6.

 

[Tarus]

JP is definitely a ghost. All his analytic supporters can eff off. He doesn’t do anything out there.

He gets in the way, but that's about it.

He lacks finesse and hockey sense to do much offensively, and doesn't have the grit or drive to be much of a checker either.

 

[MoontoScott]

That 'solid' goalie was lmfao awful tonight, but okay.

It was a wasted opportunity. The Flames could have beaten tonight with the type of goaltending they got. Unfortunately we had 2 guys who were actually worse.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Even with Smith absolutely crapping the bed, I still hated Koskinen going in. How do you not make one single important stop?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Nurse has been like this all f***ing season.

 

[Kerberos]

And this team still hasn't adjusted to teams with aggressive PKs. The Flames abused our PP tonight.

Maybe move the puck faster or something?

 

[Cloned]

100% agreed. I think even St Louis (who was not good last night) takes either team out in 5 or 6.

Hot take: whoever wins this series wins the Cup.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

And yet he shut it down for most of the third.

Not really. We tied it up and then immediately shitted the game away afterwards. I can't recall a good chance that happened afterwards.

 

[Heavy Dee]

buT CaLgaRy is An eaSieR mAtcHuP!!!

No one said that. Gtfo

 

[DraiInSeiderKuch]

Nurse with absolutely zero hits. What a bum. McDavid should call every last one of these no heart losers out.

 

[Oilhawks]

Hot take: whoever wins this series wins the Cup.

The Toilet Bowl? Sure

They only showed up to start what, 2 of 7 last series?

You’re a fairly often poster here. I value your thoughts and discussion. Where do you have Nurse right now on our D ranking. You’d say Kulak and Ceci are above him?

 

[onetweasy]

A good goalie might have allowed the oilers to calm down at the start of the game instead of just perpetuating the nervousness.

But my god, for a team full of so called vets, we really do fall on our face a lot in big games.

 

[Macheteops]

They re getting pretty quiet. He’s f’ing useless

 

[Magnum23]

If we get blown out 4 straight and let in 9 goals each game. I don’t even care who gets fired anymore, I’ll fire myself as an Oilers fan

 

[Heavy Dee]

Jay still needs to earn a contract. Didn't tonight

 

[Zerotonine]

f*** I said at the end of the second period edmonton has the momentum it's there game to win now. They come out tie the f***ing game only to have Koskinen let in that garbage goal for flames to take the lead and that was game. Edmonton was dead right f***ing then and there. To come back down from 4 goals fml

 

[McDrai]

We're certainly not winning jack shit this year lol
