Post-Game Talk: Recast Tippett

[nexttothemoon]

This is a team that gets swept in the playoffs this year. Can’t convince me otherwise.

Avatar bet that they don't get swept in the playoffs this year.

Back up your comments with a bet since you can't be convinced otherwise and are so sure..

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Welp. Gut check time.

McDavid is gonna get 3-5 from the league. We’re gonna need all hands on deck to make sure this 2 game losing streak doesn’t spiral into 5 or 6 games.

 

[Soundwave]

Oilers should just keep lapping up Toronto's sloppy seconds, the only good players they ever sign are ex-Leafs (Hyman, Barrie, Ceci). Our pro scouting might as well just go on vacation in Hawaii. Campbell next?

 

[The Safe Play]

Minnesota game is going to be a massacre. Excited to check out Kaprizov though.

Done. (Unless Tipp is fired)

 

[McMozesmadness]

Team needed a reality check. Tonight may be a good thing. Optimistic take

I guess we’ll see how they respond

Pessimistic take. We’ve played like this quite often this year. Result finally flipped

 

[Beerfish]

Yeah its up to tippett to motivate a pro hockey player.

What about all the 'character' players holland brought in to combat this?

Oh and yes koskinen does suck, he gave up his usual awful garbage goal he does once every two games and the team just sags.

 

[harpoon]

Calm down. It was a 2-1 game and the Oilers were pressing till McDavid took a dumb penalty.

Did you see the way he ‘broke in’ 2on1 with Nurse? No f***ing clue what to do. I know bantam players that would have played that better. Ryan is awful.

Not even going to stick around for this thread tonight. The usuals will be putting their arms out of joint patting themselves on the back.

Good to have some adversity now than coasting all regular season at least. Tippett needs to finally f***ing address the slow starts and the team needs to learn to play against a trap.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Better make Woodcroft the coach before another team snatches him up.

Just like Todd Nelson

 

[yukoner88]

we need our regular D back n ehalthy to reinsert the veteran presence on the ice

plus we're really missing Ceci's and Keith's ability to move the puck against teams that are good at clogging up center ice

 

[MoreDifferentS]

Well, it's nice that it took until game 22 before I knew for sure we were gonna lose before the final whistle blew. I've not forgotten when going down 0-2 meant switching to audio only and freeing up a couple hours of the night, so I'll not look past the fact this is the first time that this was the case all year so far.

 

[oil4life97]

Book is out on how to beat the oilers. Ramp up your intensity and attention to defence to playoff level. Oilers can’t and refuse to reciprocate.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

That’s 1 more than he has been on the ice FOR all year

Are we gonna really hold PK goals against him?

We dont need to add useless information to make him seem bad.

His play already does that.

 

[Spawn]

And all these bottom 6 players were good before they ended up on a team coached by Tippett.

Foegele was the only player in our bottom 6 who was good last year.

Sceviour? Ryan? Perlini? Benson? Shore? Kassian? McLeod? Turris?

Those are guys who lost their jobs on other teams, were in the AHL or had already lost their spot in the NHL.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Done. (Unless Tipp is fired)

How long? 1 Month 3 months.. 6 months... 5 years... you choose.

 

[Sanchez]

Tippet showed more emotion on bench than ever! Only took a bad hit from McDavid to do it. I fear McDavid will be suspended because NHL

 

[94 Oil Drops]

So, what shall we complain about tonight, fellas?

 

[Ritchie Valens]

McDavid is going to sit for the next three games. The league will want him back fresh for the Leafs game.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Nah they'll continue playing down to their opponents while relying heavily on the powerplay to save them. Team has been doing that for a couple seasons now.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Plus, a possible McDavid suspension incoming. They would have been better off just forfeiting the game before it started. An absolute embarrassment.

 

[CycloneSweep]

How long? 1 Month 3 months.. 6 months... 5 years... you choose.

97 days

 

[CupofOil]

Lets be honest, some of us saw this coming.

The team has been playing with fire all season with slow starts, awful defensive play, getting nothing from the depth players, getting unsustainable goaltending from a mediocre goalie. They've been outplayed the vast majority of games so it was only a matter of time until some losses started happening and the toughest part of the schedule is yet to come. If they don't change something, this could team could be hard pressed to even finish top 3 in the division. They probably will finish top 3 but I don't know.

I've been against it but a coaching change might be in order like what the Hawks did in 2010. This team isn't even remotely close to as good as that team anyway but something is off about this team and I use the term "TEAM" loosely because it's basically McDrai and some guys but they need something to spark them.

 

[Oilhawks]

Maybe our friend kevy was right then? If we can’t blame the coach for having the players start on time and put in a consistent effort (lmfao), maybe it’s the leadership culture

lol lol lol

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Didn’t the Leafs get blown out 7-1 by a Pens squad without Crosby and Malkin?

 

[Ritchie Valens]

So, what shall we complain about tonight, fellas?

I put a piece of bread in the toaster, got distracted and didn't hear it pop. I f***ing hate cold toast. It's right up there with wet socks.
