Post-Game Talk: Oilers overcome rotten Soup

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Everyone is angry tonight.

 

[Harry Curry]

You’re really set on name calling and labeling people. Not going to answer your earlier question, there’s been enough energy wasted on that. I just was pointing out what how it’s pointless to debate with someone that uses all-star appearances to claim player A is not comparable to player B. It’s nonsense.

I'm in the midst of an unfortunate interaction with another poster. I didn't like his response and have been defending myself. I don't think people really applies to the situation. But if you do so be it.

I gave those as quick examples because I didn't have time to look further. While those definitely wouldn't be the only data points used in comparing players, they are part of the picture in comparing players.

I understood the first time you didn't like those quick comparables I gave. That's why I asked you what would better be used as comparables.

I wasn’t angry until you accused me of being angry, motherf***er!




Uhhh just in case

 

[McNuge]

I googled it as you demanded. Some definitions refer to it in the plural form but not all.




You only said it once in our exchange. If you don't know what I read or didn't read the most common expectation would be what is in our exchange. You do sound angry.

Well we got you to move off the hypocrisy and not wasting your time tropes. I did as you ordered and googled the definition of y'all. You do sound angry.

I mean we can go back to hypocrisy if you want. You called me a liar and an angry bully, were passive aggressive. But sit on your high horse and complain about personal insults? K cool.

Once again. Not angry it's a hockey forum and I'm discussing a player on our team.

Anyone have a clip of Ekholm being interviewed on the ice after the game and the fans going crazy? Would like to hear that.

Jack Campbell is hands down the worst goalie the Oilers have ever had…

He might be and with guys like Tugnutt Scrivens Labarbera Fasth and guftasson that’s really saying something.

Labarbera was REALLY bad, but even then I’m not sure even he was Campbell level. Thankfully in Labarbera’s case is his contract allowed us to jettison him ASAP when it was apparent he wasn’t an NHL player.

JDD was the other I guy I couldn’t remember his name. Yeah I think Campbell may just be the worst

 

[Tyrolean]

If Skinner is ever injured in the playoffs, the Oilers are toast. I wish they seriously address their backup goalie situation. Would have waived Campbell months ago and brought up Pickard or trade for a better backup at the TDL. Major fail.

Gotta love this guy. He’s really embracing this opportunity after years of playing in the shadow of guys like Josi and Weber even though he’s a great player in his own right and he’s really showing it right now.

He’s a guy I’ve wanted on the Oilers for years, when there was rumblings he might be available I didn’t shut up about how he should be at the top of our list and it sounds like Holland has felt that way for a long time as well.

I could go on forever about all the parts of this guys game that I love but I really like how he takes the ice given to him and he’s decisive about it. The other thing I’ve noticed is he never takes a shift off, consistent effort and execution every time he steps on the ice, very rarely makes a mistake.

Like you can see him get "those chills" in real time and he knows this is different. Nashville was loud and proud about their team, but this is different and he knows it.

There's a pretty distinct difference between "gee these fans are loud" and "these fans and city are loud, but also care about the team to their core."

The only slight fault I see with him so far is that sometimes he gets caught a bit far up ice, but those times are rare and other than maybe once or twice pretty much inconsequential.

He's the only player on our defense that I am confident will make a good play when he has the puck 99% of the time and not do something dumb. He has incredible hockey sense and makes quality reads all over the ice. Love watching defensemen like this play.

Not ideal for tonight

Not ideal for tonight

It's f***ing ridiculous that Chris Lee is still calling games in this league. Put this idiot out to pasture along with Joanette who is finally, mercifully hanging them up at the end of this season.

'Best in the world!" Right.

 

[Paralyzer]

Everyone is angry tonight.

Who you callin Angry, motherf***er.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

If the Oilers can win tonight, they get to 90 pts before the Flames get to 80.

 

[alanschu]

Pretty much list public jobs TBH esp government

Have y'all never worked for a private company where some of the least competent people just constantly fail upwards or what!? XD

 

[Paralyzer]

So I saw when the game starts. Really...at 8:30 PM? On a night there is only 2 f***ING games? What the hell?

Are you suggesting the NHL put 6 of it's superstars in position to get alot of eye on them on a light schedule day? Why do that, when everyone can go to sleep first.

They might suck at there job but ironically its usually the sucking that helps them climb the latter
