Post-Game Talk: Slow start and dumb plays sewer Game 1

[Cloned]

Can count the number of Oilers players who had a good game on half a hand.

McLeod, Desharnais, and Hyman were awful.

Nuge, Ceci and Kane not much better.

Skinner and Kostin could’ve been better too.

Not worried

Get them in game two

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Play defense next time.

 

[xoczar99ox]

Time for some truth serum. This is not a panic post at all.

Skinner is an average goalie at best and our defence is porous as f***.

You don’t win cups with that combo and I’m not getting into the fact that Draisaitl is the only guy who’s showed up for the playoffs. I hope McDavid enjoys his trophies this year cause he ain’t bringing it at all.

 

[snipes]

Drai was fantastic.

Brossoit is a very beatable goalie.

This is our first regulation loss in like what 25 games? They didn’t play very well at all and still could have won that game.

Go win game 2.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

even strength RNH: 7gp, 0g, 1a

 

[syz]

Janmark went down and McLeod got moved up and he got demolished for 3 goals against. He ain't built for this.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

"Listen to this crowd."

F$%^ off Singh.

 

[frag2]

VD and Nuge trash

 

[KarmaPolice]

Game 1 is an automatic loss for this team anyway. Get them next time.

Drai is a beast.

 

[5 14 6 1]

That was infuriating. Oh well. Drai os a f***ing monster. Might need to send out a missing poster for RNH. Desharnais bad. Brutal Too many men to take.

Win the next one and we have a split.

 

[YakDavid]

Vegas played p well but we played terrible. Just sloppy in so many things.

 

[CycloneSweep]

You simply CANT dress Desharnais again.

 

[780il]

Play like you did in the last 10 minutes for the whole game next time

 

[Mav3rick07]

The Oilers have nobody to blame but themselves. They did absolutely nothing for two periods and meanwhile, the Knights were ready to rock.

Oh well. We're chasing a series. Again.

 

[Da McBomb]

This team just can't win game 1. Woodcroft is a really dumb coach sometimes. Putting Desharnais out there time after time and especially right after Draisaitl's tying goal is inexcusable. Nuge is just absolutely useless these playoffs. Draisaitl must be absolutely pissed

 

[OilerTyler]

Our 7th straight Game 1 loss.

At least we are 3-3 in those series.

 

[ujju2]

Team literally unable to deal with the heavy forecheck. Way too many times when the puck is behind our net and our forwards are already blowing the zone. Woody better have them playing much tighter on Saturday.

 

[Ninety7]

Can’t give gifts and expect to win all the time

 

[Mr Kot]

Alright, I know this sounds like tinfoil stuff, but I legitimately think Woodcroft doesn't gameplan for game 1 because he's one of those "needs to make mistakes" guys in order to iron out the kinks.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I’m absolutely losing interest in this league.

 

[soothsayer]

Woodcroft can just go ahead and not play Desharnais next game and just avoid the multiple gaffs leading to multiple goals all together.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Until this team stops making things difficult for themselves they will not win anything. Always the hard way, never the easy way. If they lose game 2 that’s the end of the season.

 

[Oilhawks]

I'm not sure why anyone gets themselves worked up about the usual game 1 loss by this team. Vegas is very beatable.

Brossoit is not a Cup cailbre goalie, either

 

[McOilers97]

Obviously Skinner should’ve had a few of those, but I think Hyman/RNH/Kane have been overall quite disappointing in these playoffs so far. A couple big goals aside, those 3 seem largely ineffective at 5 on 5.

30 goals between them in 16 playoff games last year. Only 5 in the first 7 this year.
