Post-Game Talk: Playoff Push 2019: Oilers 3, Coyotes 1

[MessierII]

Averages 13 goals per season in his career, comes to Edmonton and can't score one.

It’s not like he’s had way worse linemates here or something. He’s if anything had a better opportunity to play high up the lineup than anywhere. It’s maddening.

 

[Llamamoto]

That McDavid consistency. No one else has it like he does.

Such a shame he's never had a high end offensive D to help him. As this season has gone on, he's needed to move further and further into his zone to get anything started. Most high scoring guys are taking a rest while the puck is being worked out of their end.

Honestly, two points per game for him isn't that far-fetched. I can see him hitting 150.

It is because of the fluoride in our water supply.
Once Lucic and Rieder get their reverse osmosis water filtration systems they will start scoring again.

Last season I suggested we give Kassian a serious look in a top 6 role due to his grit and skating.
I never mentioned it this season because it seemed he didn't care anymore.
Hitch gives it a try and holy cow did it look good.

I don't see him scoring all year. Mix of snake bit a simply not putting in the work

Rattie needs to gtfo

Every game makes it harder to sell him to Seattle.

The game went almost exactly like I predicted in the GDT.

Didn't watch the game, was Yamamoto healthy scratched already or why wasn't he in the lineup?

I thought he was injured.

 

[Llamamoto]

Caleb Jones played 22 minutes + 3 hits, even -+.

Now averaging nearly 19 minutes on the season.

He’s banged up. Upper body.

 

[Llamamoto]

Draisaitl-McDavid-Kassian
Reider-RNH-Pulju
Yama-Khaira-Chiasson
Lucic-Brodziak-Spooner

That's what I would do but change Rattie for Spooner. He's useless.

Larsson has looked way better when paired with him too.

 

[BlackDogg]

Lucid one more game closer to scoring his next goal.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Just fire lowe, mact and howson and promote lucic. Hire twenty highschool students to work under him.

 

[Da McBomb]

Lucid one more game closer to scoring his next goal.

... and only 370 games remaining on his contract.

 

[oobga]

Larsson has looked way better when paired with him too.

Small sample size alert!

Larsson+Jones from naturalstattrick

26 minutes 5v5
16.67% offensive zone starts on the fly
35.29% offensive zone faceoff starts

53% CF
86% high danger chances % (6 to 1)
33.3% GF % (1 to 2)
0.929 PDO

in the limited time, they have done well. Just really bad luck. Gave up 1 really good chance against in that time, it went in.

By far that's the best partner for Jones so far, not even accounting for the brutal zone starts, plus how he's guaranteed to be playing against the toughest comp for that time.

This. Give him a $20 million 1 year contract as special advisor if he agrees for mutual termination.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

After tonight’s performance I see us easily winning the next 5 in a row by dominant margins.

 

[Yablo21]

Well I don't know about you guys.... but I'm back off the ledge now, lol. They lose this one and it is curtains.

 

[Louis Cypher]

Good game. Larson played real well. Manning good and Petrovic wasnt too bad. The good thing about Petrovic is once we are healthy it puts preasure on Benning. He doesnt get to play just because we dont have any other right shot defense. Maybe can sit him on occasion when he sucks.

When you say “on occasion” you mean permanently right?
