Post-Game Talk: Oilers win a defensive battle? Oilers won a defensive battle!

[KarmaPolice]

Great defensive effort and win. Good to know we can win that way.

Mike Smith has been fantastic 4 of his 5 starts. I think Tippett just has to ride Mike Smith, but recognize that when he's off he needs to pull him early since when he's off he tends to be really off.

 

[GingerJesus28]

Mike Smith isn't the hero we deserve, he's the hero we need right now.

 

[McAsuno]

And Cassie.

and Francis.

 

[Senor Catface]

8-2 in our last 10.

Giving some much needed breathing room from the dreaded .500.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Hooray, pound them tomorrow.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Hahaha eat my ass flames! Neal with an apple and Smith with a big game.

 

[Llamamoto]

8-2-0 in our last 10.

 

[DrDrai]

Dr.Drai’s Bet Against the Oilers (Always a $5 bet):

-$29.81 (Oilers 8-2)

 

[dss97]

Francis: Oilers have no depth

Depth player scores GWG for us

Goodnight

 

[belair]

Best defensive effort all season. Even Koekkoek looked good.

Turris is going to have to work to get back in. Or Kahun will have to suck for two or more games. Whichever comes first.

 

[Drai Fi]

Oilers depth the last 15 years

Oilers depth this year

 

[McOilers97]

If those were our legs on the first of a back to back I'm realll scared for tomorrow.

Can’t imagine McDavid will play worse than today, he’ll create something for us.

 

[King K Rool]

Eat shit, flames and officials

And Cassie.

I only got home to watch the third but of course she made a ton of cringey comments in one period.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Russell-Larsson were the best players on the ice.

You don't see that often.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Hey Calgary...

 

[McDrai]

Can we just start Smith again tomorrow?
Koskinen = auto loss

 

[Llamamoto]

Mcd had one

No he didn't.

 

[Porkleaker]

The best part about this win is it's Stick Flip Rittich's 9th straight loss....lmao what an asshole.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Sweet to win in on a typical cheap Flamer type goal. This team locked it down. Not pretty but take two points, drop a deuce and head back north.

 

[Snipes45]

When did you think you would have said that the Oilers are going to win some games with their bottom 6 being the best (JP was good).?

Positive

Nervous for Kosko tomorrow. Always hard to win the 2nd game after the first. Didn't catch a lot of the third. Sounds like they shut it down.

 

[King K Rool]

And Cassie.

Beat me to it haha

 

[CupofOil]

Me pre game...
These Calgary games are either the best or the worst. There is no middle ground when it comes to results against the Flames, there are no moral victories or "undeserved" victories. If the Oilers beat Calgary, it's "f*** Yeah, eat shit Flames" and if they lose, it's "Oh no, we suck again". I, for one, hope the Flames are eating shit by the end of tonight.

Me now...

f*** yeah, eat shit Flames

After the 1st period with all the turnovers, the Oilers played that game...

And that's Tkachuk's blood on Tuco's nuckles. Lets go Oilers!!!

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Good.we won ..but McD played like poo tonight. Defensively not engaging and his predictable rush into the zone equaled the Taylor Hall toe drag.

 

[harpoon]

If we don’t get an early goal in the third the Flames will tie it.

What we really need is for folks to stop posting crap like this in the GDT and bringing down the mood of the entire board. If god gives you a premonition that the Oilers are going to lose the game for whatever reason keep it to yourself or go post on twitter. Ffs.

 

[foshizzle]

Most boring win ever

What’s wrong with fans? I guess you would take the 6-5 loss to the jets vs the 2-1 win over the flames
