The masters do it again! It's such a treat to watch a natural at their craft.

Hunt ices the puck with an empty net. He's out there on the 6 v 5. That pretty much epitomizes his NHL career. Gross.

 

[Shredator]

Oil Tankers for the win.
30th place win.

 

[OilerTyler]

Just end the game already

 

[ohheyhemsky]

How many players does it take to **** on your dreams?

Brad Hunt.

 

[Del Preston]

Brad Hunt is the ****ing worst. Nevermind that he iced the puck, why the **** are you even dumping it in with four seconds left?

 

[sepHF]

they played pretty well, too bad Scrivens fell apart

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Ah Oilers, I was right again to bet my vcash on the opposing team and you didn't disappoint me.

 

[Throttlehead]

It was a solid game, Scrivens could have played better for sure.

 

[Slicknitty]

Ben Scriloses

 

[Spawn]

Niemi makes two clutch saves with 35 seconds left. Scrivens lets in two weak ones earlier in the period.

Team is still too mentally fragile. They just collapse when something goes badly against them.

Brad Hunt dumping the puck in from the wrong side of center with 5 seconds to go in the game is one of the odder things I've seen. Kid just isn't an NHL quality player. He never will be. We knew this at the start of the season. Nothing has changed since. Why is he here?

 

[Board Gordon]

Not a horrible game, Scrivens is the one to blame here.

 

[Joey Moss]

Can someone explain to me how an NHL player is dumb enough to dump the puck in with 4 seconds left down by one rather than walking over the line and taking a shot? That kind of play doesn't belong in the National Hockey League. (insert Ray Ferraro voice)

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Other then a few hiccups. It was a decent game

 

[s7ark]

I hope that **** up at the end wakes even MacT up to the fact that Hunt isn't an NHLer.

If he stays up it's because we're going for McDavid. Marincin would be here if we were actually trying to win.

 

[syz]

That felt like a bit of a Dubnyk'esque throwback in goal tonight. Perfect goaltending except for the one or two moments when you break the team's back.

 

[Get North]

Scrivens was weak but you guys are trending the right way. They actually look like they're trying and want to win, and look pretty good.

Little steps of improvement.

 

[Jtown]

that 3rd goal on scrivens was not his fault. Just want to state that.

 

[flashy]

The masters do it again! It's such a treat to watch a natural at their craft.

lolloloolol

i can't believe i actually thought they were gonna win this in the 3rd. how could I ever have doubted.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Great signs, played well, lost the game on the last period for clutch McEichel points?

Perfect game, I'm going to have to say. Though I was genuinely cheering for the win

 

[KCC]

Nothing has changed. Sure the team worked harder and drove the net more, but only after they gave up the lead twice. Basically they just played 'desperate hockey' because they can't hold a lead if their lives depended on it.

that 3rd goal on scrivens was not his fault. Just want to state that.

It was deflected. We all know it was. The thing is, it was still a savable puck. And it could have been forgiven if he had managed to stop the breakaway goal and keep it at 3. Nope. He's not reliable.

 

[dustrock]

Look at our AHL roster and tell me why every single problem with this team doesn't start and end with management.

Cheer like never before, guys.

And if Hall is hurt, then ******* rest him already, because holy god is he sucking right now. Haven't seen a slump like this from him in his entire career.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

At least it was an entertaining game where the effort was there. This is a game where they should not hang their heads afterwards. It's a start.

 

[Jumptheshark]

another one goal loss

well atleast hall got a ....... never mind

 

[oilersfan87]

No matter what happens during the game, you just know that there is almost a 100% chance the final result will be an Oilers loss.
