Post-Game Talk: Same Ol' Oilers

[MoontoScott]

Just wait until next year.

 

[McTedi]

Sit Larsson, Chiasson and JJ. Larsson personally responsible for 3 GAs.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

On a positive note cause lord knows we need one

That was a game and we have a team.

 

[dssource]

I'll say that I liked that they fought right to the end of the game. Good night.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Anyone can beat anyone.
Lots to hate about tonight. Lots.

 

[Ninety7]

The D is trash

 

[FiftyFifty]

Missed Joey tonight

 

[NedPlimpton]

Meh.

Nobody really looked ready. I'm not super concerned, but that was not great.

I like Kahun. Feels like only a matter of time until that line clicks, IMO.

Singh is pretty bad on play by play. Don't care for that at all. Just doesn't seem to have the voice for it or something. Felt very unnatural to me.

 

[LTIR]

The Drai-Yamamoto-Kahun Chemistry was the only bright spot tonight. Koskinen was good too just got screwed

Kahun wasn't good at all. Meh at best. Yamamoto was the best Oiler tonight for me. His whiff at the end was costly though.

 

[KCC]

Just have to put it behind them. It was not even close to their best effort and every player will be the first to tell you that.

 

[Joey Moss]

Turris and Barrie were both bad. Puljujarvi does some good things but you can still see he is ineffective at making subtle plays. Kahun and Koekkoek both had solid debuts.

 

[CupofOil]

The good and they were very good - Draisaitl, Kahun, Yamamoto, Koekkoek early on

Everybody else ranged from meh to a flaming, stinking bag of smelly disgusting flaming dog shit with RNH in particular being the latter.

 

[XXIV97]

Positives: Kahun, Draisaitl, Yamamoto, Puljujarvi, Kookoo

Everyone else needs to pick it up

 

[nabob]

There were a few positives. Pulju looks better than he did at any point in his last season here. Drai is still incredibly good. Slayer is a good #6 Dman, he was alright.

 

[GreeningOil]

Just realized I could have had a bonus 3 hours of sleep instead of watching that

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Terrible defense and terrible puck luck.

Put in McLeod for tomorrow. Wouldn't mind seeing Bouch get a shot either.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Not going to win many games giving up five

If your defense is this bad it doesn't matter how good your offense is.

 

[Talonted]

"PULJUJAARVI'S STICK RODE UP INTO HIS PALM?!" Did anyone else hear that I feel like I'm crazy

 

[bellagiobob]

The highlight of the game were the tributes to Muckler and Joey. Downhill in a hurry from there.

 

[Garbo Man]

I legit don't understand how ANYONE could blame ANY of that travesty on Koskinen

 

[Tobias Kahun]

We win this game if Larsson already injured his back in training camp.

 

[Arpeggio]

Draisaitl and Kahun looked awesome in the third. That's about all I got.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Can't help but feel that very slow start and wasted 1st period costed us. Have to be more ready for games. Canucks showed up, no excuse for us not to as well.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Gonna go ahead and order my Brock Boeser jersey. Great player on a good team. Canucks are going places this season.

 

[North]

Is there actual video evidence of Tippett teaching them defense in practice?

He probably watched them trying to execute and then retreated to his office with a case of beer.
