Post-Game Talk: Oilers win 4-1

[McDreamy]

Eberle's shot is so filthy it's just ridiculous.

 

[Senor Catface]

Someone has to finally tell Eberle his goals are unsustainable.

 

[Rafters]

Great game by the boys. Lets hope Vancouver loses so we sit at the top of the NW tonight.

Great 2 periods...Dubnyk was great in the 3rd period

 

[nabob]

Can you guys stop complaining about Sam Gagner now please? He's been playing very good all year. He played very well at both ends of the ice all night.

Hopefully he can keep it up. He has always been a 5 good games followed by 5 invisible games player.

Eberle's shot is so filthy it's just ridiculous.

Not really. He is just lucky, its unsustainable.

 

[RipsADrive]

So Horc isn't a vet? Hemsky didn't get robbed in the third?

Horcoff had a puck go in off his foot and Hemsky turned the puck over all game.

 

[OilerTyler]

Dubnyk played well, but he should be thankful that the rest of the Oilers were doing a really good job of clearing rebounds for him.

 

[Spawn]

I was very impressed with the top line tonight. Their best game of the season so far imo. It is only a matter of time before they break out and put 3-4 in the net in one game. They had so many great chances in the third.

What's with all the negativity for Hemsky? He had a pretty good game. Very reminiscent of old school Hemsky.

 

[BDG]

Hall got better as the game went on, started being smarter and using his teammates, good to see.

Haiti was in beast mode, hope that line sticks together, was impressed all night.

I think as soon as RNH gets one, the gates all open up.

Glad Yak got the EN goal, he was terrible the rest off the game.

j Schultz looks better and better each game.

and hes winning faceoffs too.he plays a lil physical but still his speed is no better than AHL level...hes smart though..Hemsky(mr.offside) is the real problem on that line..

By the way..LOVE krueger putting yak out for the empty netter..the kid will be great, just needs to find his game, and he will very soon..Stamkos Style

 

[sepHF]

Lol @ Maggie trolling Principe

 

[kurtcobang]

Great game by Doobie. Hall was easily the best player on the ice and thats saying something because Ebs and #19 played great. Its only game 5, im going to wait until game 10 before i start calling this defense terrible lol. But yea great game. One day we will score 5 on 5 im almost sure of it

 

[booyakasha]

Gags should've been in the three stars instead of Hall. Dubs won us that one, should've been first star.

Its fun to win.

Really?...Hall should have had 1st Star, Dubnyk 2nd and Gagner with the 3rd.

 

[drfeelbad]

Holy Feck...TSN stats saying Avs outshot us 24-6 in the 3rd !!!

 

[Arpeggio]

Hemsky wasn't bad, Gagner was great, Yakupov struggled. As soon as they took him off that line in the third they started moving the puck in the right direction. But hey, Yakupov is raw, he's still extremely talented.

 

[zeus3007*]

Horcoff had a puck go in off his foot and Hemsky turned the puck over all game.

Hemsky has always had a lot of turnovers. It comes with his style of play. He also scored one and got robbed on another, in case you weren't paying attention.

 

[Tom Brady]

All the 4 goals were on PP.

Hall was all over the puck tonight, man what a beast.

We turned the puck over too many times, we can't afford to do that against good teams.

Whitney,Potter and Petry were all terrible tonight.

 

[zeus3007*]

Really?...Hall should have had 1st Star, Dubnyk 2nd and Gagner with the 3rd.

How do you figure that?

 

[syz]

Colorado's a pretty awful hockey team. Who's out besides Captain Intangibles?

The Oilers should be getting at least a dozen power plays a game on a defense like that. Every play should be breakout pass -> drive wide -> get power play on stone feet defensemen.

 

[OilerTyler]

What's with all the negativity for Hemsky? He had a pretty good game. Very reminiscent of old school Hemsky.

I thought he played well also.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Yakupov had a bad game.
Hemsky looked like crap.
Nothing from the vets.
No killer instinct led to a crappy 3rd.

Still got the win.

+/- super long post with no grammar and timely repeats about bad coaching

 

[Frank the Tank]

Good game by the Oilers, especially the top line and the 4th line. Only thing that concerns me is that in the 3rd Colorado started exploiting the Oilers' two glaring weaknesses this season: 1) Dubnyk's poor rebound control (shoot from everywhere) and 2) the inability to contain the cycle behind the net.

 

[Apathetic]

Great game by Doobie. Hall was easily the best player on the ice and thats saying something because Ebs and #19 played great. Its only game 5, im going to wait until game 10 before i start calling this defense terrible lol. But yea great game. One day we will score 5 on 5 im almost sure of it

Hall did a really good job of moving the puck up the ice and establishing control in the offensive zone. I think it really helped the top line have a great game tonight.

 

[Mentallydull]

So Horc isn't a vet? Hemsky didn't almost get his second in the third?

Aaaargh, you edited!

"Almost" doesn't mean anything in hockey
