Post-Game Talk: Oilers sing the Blues

[CycloneSweep]

Oilers 1, Refs 1, St Louis 3

The Blues beat us fair and square and were by far the better team.

We had a lot of powerplays tonight, can't blame the reffing for the loss tonight.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

Felt like all our big minutes players played poorly relative to their usual, I'd say a consequence of riding them so hard, on the upside we've got a long break so they can rejuvenate.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Worst effort of the year. You're up Hitch.

 

[Jet Walters]

Blew Christmas

 

[Del Preston]

That was putrid.

Regulation losses vs Los Angeles, Vancouver, and St. Louis.

Only silver lining is every other team lost in regulation, except Dallas.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Oilers were bad tonight but Hitch should lose his ****in mind on the reffing of this game after that 2nd goal.

He should lose his mind on himself for f***ing with the lineup and having terrible special teams.

 

[belair]

Crappy game. Bad luck, bad special teams and bad officiating. Christmas break can't come soon enough.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

You know it's not fair that Benning is the only one who has to skate in molasses.

 

[Throttlehead]

Hitch taking water over his head when he tries to get Talbot back in business, cost us games!

But we also look bad again, probably worse then before! Need a break!!!!!

This game was hardly Talbot's fault.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Anyone complaining about Khaira and ignoring that he literally retaliated with the same thing that someone did to him is an idiot.

People also conveniently forgot he was part of the reason we didn’t get shut out.

 

[snipes]

We play bad with Caggiula in the lineup

 

[BeanBurrito]

Thanks Khaira.

Thanks refs, both players should have got 5 minutes. They both cross checked each other in the head and both were retaliation, Dunn retaliated to a clean hit though.

 

[McBigYak]

I can't believe people are actually bitching about Khaira haha.

Nobody has obviously played the game who are chirping him. Because 99 percent of the time if a player pulls bullshit like that you're f***ing taking his head off.

Pretty easy to sit on your couch and blame a guy who gets crossed checked in the back of the head for going back at him with one.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Promote Khaira and Puljujaarvi back to the 2nd line, give Pulju and Jones some PP time.

 

[belair]

The kings of arrogance.
Two games in a row to non playoff teams and the Oilers think they can mail it in.
Draisaitl and McDavid have the biggest heads on the team

To their defense, they're probably a bit burnt out.

 

[CycloneSweep]

What goaltending battle?

Did the Oilers have ANY good chances? 3 shots in 5 PP (none dangerous)...yeah what a battle.

Stop the nonsense.

5v5..

Chances were 21-11, high danger were 11-4, for the blues.

We were lucky to even score one tonight.

 

[Canada Drai]

Yucky game. PP let us down .... again.

With all that talent you would think they might have the ability to skate around and generate shots. Sad how they struggled to even get set up. Liked Larsson offensively for the most part, tonight.

I feel bad for Talbot tonight, he played admirably but 2/3 goals were pretty saveable.

 

[CupofOil]

This is Chia roster hockey. They've been getting largely outplayed in the Hitch era so a stretch like this was inevitable with the team getting exposed when the goaltending was less than stellar.

 

[belair]

I have to think Khaira probably gets a hearing for that cross-check.

 

[Garbo Man]

Promote Khaira and Puljujaarvi back to the 2nd line, give Pulju and Jones some PP time.

Promote them to the 1st line with McDavid and have Drai play wing with Nuge or vice versa. Drai (and i love the kid) has been steaming hot garbage the last 3ish games.

Very off night, the whole team looked terrible. Seemed like Khaira, Nuge, and Puljujarvi were having somewhat decent game, other than that...nuttin.

 

[Stoneman89]

This McLellan coached team looks terrible!

 

[Yeah15]

Will most likely be a big L against Tampa Bay on saturday with the defence we'll be icing. Not the best way to roll into the christmas break with a 3 game losing streak.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Just brutal.

Our D couldn’t complete a breakout all night, it was awful.

Need Klefbom and Russell back yesterday.

Yeah, atleast when we have them back, instead of 6 D who can't complete a breakout pass, we have... 6 D who can't complete a breakout pass.

 

[booyakasha]

They can't make a breakout pass either....it wouldn't have mattered
