Post-Game Talk: Same Ol' Oilers

[KCC]

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.

He's average and very cookie cutter. Maybe JM will be good luck when he starts calling games. lol

 

[iCanada]

Well that sucked a big one.

Need to clean up the chinsy errors or we can forget about winning a game in this league. Just too many unforced errors, blown assignments, and too little attnetion to details. Too many times we failed to clear the zone or get the puck in deep.

My whipping boy for the night was Nuge. I've never seen him play so poorly. That has to be his worst game of his career.

 

[Snipes45]

I can't find one good thing about this game.

Drai and Kahun look good
KK looked like Pronger compared to our other D

That's it

 

[DrDrai]

It’s kind of funny, you don’t see chiasson all game really until the team really needs a goal on the PP then there he is messing everything up.

Game 1 usually sucks, but it really was the same old crap again. Team passing is like a 4/10, we rarely have sustained control that looks dangerous.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

The good:

- Koekkoek
- Kahun - Drai - Yamamoto
- McDavid in the second period

The bad:

- Larsson
- Barrie
- Chiasson’s gaffs
- Turris
- Koskinen on the 5th goal
- Our powerplay

the ugly:

- RNH
- Khaira
- Ennis

 

[FiftyFifty]

Put that one in the rear view and play better.

We’ve been putting a couple decades in the rear view mirror. Mirror’s full.

 

[RandomGuy79]

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

I think he could have had the last goal, but that's it. He wasn't the problem tonight.

 

[Cloned]

Larsson, Chiasson, Kassian, Khaira, out.

Nygard, Neal, Shore, Russell in.

 

[Oilslick941611]

There was promise. Play in the O zone was great, tons of pressure, tones of chances. PP looked good (despite sloppy passing)

Now, Defense and sloppy passing is what failed them this game and it can be excused for the first game, especially with no preseason games to work on this. Slow start ruined this. Oilers carried the play from the 2nd on and gave up some killer goals due to bad reads by Jones and Larsson. I don't think you can read too much into this game.

tomorrow they better ready to play and make some crisper passes and play tighter D.

 

[voxel]

McDavid with little chemistry with his wingers.... just horrible D and bad breakouts again.

 

[McDNicks17]

Hey, on a positive note, every single Oiler was on the ice for at least one goal against.

Sharing is caring.

 

[KCC]

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

They are solid in all areas and only going to get better. For sure.

 

[King1s]

Haha. That was garbage but at least I have no more hope for this team so I can't be disappointed.




Oh wait. I am.

 

[KarmaPolice]

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

Looking forward to what Drai and Kahun can do together this season. I see some good chemistry forming there.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

McDavid not getting the penalty shot still bugs me.

 

[oobga]

Looks like the same team from the play-ins. Bonehead defending giving the other team chances to pick their spots on wide open shots right around the net. And we can't get a clean chance around the net to save our lives. At least no own goals by Russell were possible.

 

[russ99]

Well well well. I guess defensive zone play without the puck actually means something and you can’t wish it away with 10,000 stretch passes.

 

[McTonyBrar]

I can't find one good thing about this game.

Drai and Kahun look good
KK looked like Pronger compared to our other D

That's it

NURSE was our best D and if anyone on here thinks otherwise you guys are biased as hell.

Larsson was crap and so was our so called #1 starter who doesn’t know how to use his glove KOSKINEN

 

[29Beast97Mode]

None of those were Koskis fault, hope nobody blames him. Defensive lapses and early season system issues. Last powerplay looked really good.

 

[McTedi]

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

He should had the last one, that is the only one on him.

 

[nabob]

Khaira gets waive and he responds with laying an absolute egg tonight.
I have always had hope for him, but now my only hope is that this was his last game in an Oilers Jersey.

 

[McXLNC97]

Canucks were okay but really shot ourselves in the foot too much

Exactly....can't be going 0/4 on the pp. Chiasson needs to get booted off the PP. Holtby made some big saves, which Koskinen did not. Nuge did not look very good out there. Kahun was very noticeable creating chances.

 

[iCanada]

Canucks were okay but really shot ourselves in the foot too much

Yeah, can't win when you manage the puck like that and lose your assignment all over the ice.

This looks exactly like the lacklustre play in team. They need to be better.

 

[MessierII]

Everyone is livid with Larsson no one with Jones? He was just as bad in our end.

 

[Da McBomb]

This season sucks already
