GDT: Some guy comes back

[hallhopkinseberle]

You just doomed us. Eberle snipes a hat trick tonight

He wont

 

[shoop]

So it's Ebs fault they didn't make the playoffs. Got it

Partly. Second best winger on the team for how many years? Naw, you can't blame your best players for the performance of the team. They shouldn't receive any sliver of the blame.

That's the attitude that lead to a decade out of the playoffs.

 

[harpoon]

He has one game winner since the middle of December.

Surely there's a better example to defend him.

Much like the tweet posted above, feel free to keep cherry picking the stats and the season segments that suit your Eberle hating agenda.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

Eberle is a good player, but it's clear that he wanted out. He looked like a player that was playing through a harsh injury last year, but it turned out that he had given up on the team much like Schultz had.

 

[Porkleaker]

Gene extra cringey tonight

 

[McDNicks17]

Bully him? Really?

I wouldn't boo him if I was going to the game, but don't blame them for doing it.

Eberle had one chance to play in the playoffs with the players and didn't get it done. Deserved to get traded. Good on him for turning it up in the East.

You didn't see the interview where Eberle blamed his struggles on the Edmonton media's "brutal" treatment of him?

The attitude that lead to a decade out of the playoffs was management and poor decision making. They didn't have a plan, they wanted to be a good team but they trade Pronger and Smyth for picks and prospects in 2 years. They drafted, developed poorly. Eberle was actually one of the lone bright spots of the decade. He was a 20-25 Goals, 30-35 Assist guy during his time here. He was a good player but not someone to help you win. We lacked depth too. After Hall, Nuge, Eberle, our team was poor. Poor D core, poor bottom six, and poor goaltending. Its a team sport and you need a full roster that can play NHL hockey, that is drafted and developed by your team to be successful.

I don't even buy this though. Why would he 'give up' on a team that's heading to the playoffs, has made the frigging playoffs, and has a decent chance of getting through to the final?

Gene extra cringey tonight

Extra awesome if you ask me. He puts more effort into his job than the entire oiler organization combined. He said that lucic scored for the first time in a "Milan" years. That's gold

 

[Joey Moss]

McDavid drops it off for Lucic, who decides to go for a change..

 

[harpoon]

Hog it a little more there Strome.

 

[Oil75]

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Nice save on Strome there.

 

[Dashh]

sick shot nurse. jesus

 

[rickysusedsht]

Conner pretty much a one man show out there

 

[harpoon]

Bear is looking promising.

 

[SomeDudeOTI]

Omg.. did a Dman just let a point shot go? Must be the new guy

 

[Oil75]

nice change boys..

 

[harpoon]

JP with three failed attempts to clear the zone in fifteen seconds.

 

[Oil75]

good shift by JJ's line

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Khaira looking good tonight. Still can't believe how well he is doing.

 

[Oil75]

Too much caveman again on line 1 .....sheesh Mclellan

 

[Del Preston]

Did they play Eberle's video yet?

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

This arena is eerily quiet.

 

[Del Preston]

Sportsnet didn't show it. Lame.
