Pre-Game Talk: Oilers v Predators Thurs 7 MT

[Del Preston]

A lot of teams the Oilers are behind have picked up points tonight and Cal-SJ are tied 2-2 so likely a 3 pointer in that one.

Anaheim, Minnesota, Chicago, Colorado all won
Calgary/San Jose and Vegas are tied

As bad as it gets.

 

[RattsSSV]

Damn, that was a nice sequence.

 

[Cloned]

Honestly if Brossoit was in net for the Preds this would be a massacre for the Oilers.

 

[CycloneSweep]

All my hope is gone. With this loss we will be 9 points out of a playoff spot.

 

[GodPucker]

Honestly if Brossoit was in net for the Preds this would be a massacre for the Oilers.

Yup. 7-0 minimum.

 

[McClelland]

How do you score 9 goals in 3 periods against Price & Bobrovsky and then get shut out by McElhinney & Saros?

Scoring first helps a lot! Teams opens up and we capitalize! Had 3-4 open net goals last game. We have problem scoring when driving the play and in traffic!

 

[shoop]

His suits don't even fit right they are so baggy on him

It's not like he's skeletal.

At the start of the season McLellan had a little meat on his bones. He spends decent money on his clothes.

Lose 20 pounds and it's clear he lost some weight from the way his close fits. I wouldn't read much more than that into it. It's not like he's even close to being unhealthy underweight.

Full credit to Russell for the effort in front there.

 

[48g90a138pts]

Subban with the brutal dive.

 

[oobga]

Over-under on McDavid/Drai being back together next game?

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

League should never play a #1 goalie against us again. These back-ups are hitting career highs against us

 

[204hockey]

how are they not scoring at least 1 ... holy sheeet

 

[walktheboulavard]

Benning is sooo slow.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Do people still have a hard time seeing the difference between goalies here?

 

[Ritchie Valens]

9 goals on Bob and Price in 63-ish minutes.

0 goals on Mcelhinny and Saros in 120 minutes.

E-f***ing-gad.

 

[Cloned]

Lol brossoit giving Forsberg the open net and he Kassian’ed it.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Benning is sooo slow.

This team LOVES slow Dmen.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Remenda sounds giddy that they are losing 4-0. Early Christmas present for him.

 

[shoop]

Over-under on McDavid/Drai being back together next game?

With a competent coach I'd say no chance. Right now I'd say odds are 3-2 that happens at against Minnesota ... cuz McLellan.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

At least you aren't being a dick this time.

A quality NHL backup should be held to a little higher standard than "not letting in muffins from bad angles."

Sorry about that, and I agree, but the loss tonight is definitely not his fault

 

[Del Preston]

Sharks go up 3-2 with 2:48 left. There's a competitive game on SN Flames.

 

[Laineux]

I officially give up on the playoff dream. It's not happening.

 

[RandomGuy79]

Do people still have a hard time seeing the difference between goalies here?

We all know Brossoit sucks, and should be executed on the spot. How does that make the team score though? We have 0 goals.

What do you want us to do about it? Hunt Brossoit down and f***ing murder him?

 

[GodPucker]

Lol Brossoit moved after Forsberg missed the net.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

1 win does nothing to gain us ground. 1 loss destroys any sort of traction.

Quite a hole we've dug.
