Post-Game Talk: The Edmonton McDavids win 6-2 , bad start to the road trip.

[Hostile Offer]

A 10.5 million dollar performance!!!

 

[Rapala]

Sports Net didn't even have McDavid as a star.

 

[neopreneur]

I think the biggest reason we need Weber back is for the PP; it sucks because we have no shooters.
If we score on 1 or 2 of our PPs tonight, it's a different game.

Also we're so weak. The effort is there, but it is what it is.

 

[Archijerej]

Eventually, team defence and powerplay will demoralise and break us. We will not be able to maintain our 5 vs. 5 scoring at the current pace. Something has to be done quickly.

 

[Simarino]

We’ll that was a pretty bad defensive game, like nightmare bad, Niemi allowed 2 or 3 softies but he made 8-9 miracles, Draisitl alone could have scored 6-7 goals tonite. Wake up call guys!!

What's that thing doing -- dancing the macarena?

 

[Max2]

Somehow its Prices fault. More discussion about him then Niemi or the terrible team on ice despite not playing.

It'll be Price's fault on Thursday lol

 

[Le Tricolore]

He might've given up some bad goals but he made several five bell saves. I don't think it's fair to say we lost because of the goalie. We just threw him to the wolves tonight.

He made some big saves, but I think you could directly blame him for 3 or 4 of the goals against. Shots that had no business being scoring chances, let alone goals.

The rest of the team was atrocious as well, no doubt.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Price is crapping his pants after watching that debacle.....

Price has became a distraction on that team. I feel players are affected by Price despantlure.

It's a demonstration for Schlemko on how to properly execute a hip check...

Price is a distraction on these boards but I doubt he's a distraction on the team.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Sports Net didn't even have McDavid as a star.

I play men's league with a guy who scores 4 goals a game, I joke with him that no one ever even says "good game" to him anymore, it's just expected

 

[Rapala]

We were due for a reality check.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Sports Net didn't even have McDavid as a star.

At this point, he's above that.

 

[Hansman]

When we draft between Katko-Suzuki I will be pleased.

 

[Mrb1p]

He's the best player since Mario, I can tell who really hasn't watched him play all that much when they say things like "gee he really is kind of good"

No offense intended, but it's clear already

Well, this opinion didn't just occur to me, Ive known for at least two seasons that he's somewhere along the lines of Crosby at the same age (I think Sid was a bit better from 18 to 21, remains to be seen for the rest.)

I think you may be jumping the gun on "best since Lemieux". That's still Sids to lose until he does some of the more amazing things, like two connies in a row, his ridiculous point streak, changes his game completely to fit his team (From speedy playmaking offensive-first, to goalscorer, to 2-way player.)

I also would like to point out that Malkin has a better peak than McDavid, so far.

What about Ovi's ridiculous stretch, too? From 07 to 2010, I think thats yet to be beaten by McD's too.

 

[Prettyisland]

mcdavid absolutely tourched our d tonight. He’s in a class of his own. Anyone who questions him being the best player of the next generation is clueless or bias. The rink is that kids playground, I’ve personally never seen anything like it

 

[Runner77]

Im a be dead inside if Lekhonen sign for more than 1.5m a year

such a 4th grinder

Where's Mod Treb -- he'd have a field day with Lehkonen by now. "Snakes on a plane" as he always says.

 

[Tanknation]

Wish we could start with trading price and start a proper rebuild. . .not saying trade every vetran because we need leaders and like what I see but this team needs more talent and that starts with some first or second overall picks for once

 

[Max2]

The ball is in Price's court now.He's their superstar and supposedly best goalie in the universe so now he needs to show it.The team needs him.

 

[PaulD]

That was ugly. The worst goaltending we've seen this year too. It can only get better, right?

From what little I saw the Defense looked horrible as they were getting toyed with before Niemi even came into camera view.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Our goalies' goal against average is a good indication of the quality of our defense.

 

[Mrb1p]

Discuss.

Funny, we could buy two of those with Price's salary.

AND HAVE ENOUGH CHANGE TO BUY A TRACK TO HAVE FUN WITH IT.

 

[Stive Morgan]

People gotta score besides Domi

Need Weber back to. Petry as a number D is laughable.
