Post-Game Talk: Tiereny in Ottawa...

[MettleMcOiler]

What a dumb take...how is it humanly possible to have so many bad takes?

Didn't Stutzle instigate the fight? What was Lagesson suppose to do, block with his face?

Edit: Don't care if you're a superstar or not, if you start the fight, face the consequences.

He got 0 points in the first game (7 goals scored) and looked really pissed off last night. I'm not sure McDavid is having a great time right now personally.

McDavid needs to realize winning isn't just about him getting points. If the other lines are clicking the he needs to buck up and figure out how to play with someone not named drai

Team clearly liked it as they kept him over Koekkoek lol

 

[elmeroil]

Jets over trapped them in the playoffs, didn't overpower.

A team that traps, has some bigger d-men with reach, and a decent goalie will beat the Oilers in a 7 game series 9/10 times. Scoring aptitude of said team doesn't even really matter.

They were so physical and the Oilers were not, that's how I remember it. I am getting old though, am I remembering it wrong?

Yep. Stutzle was wanting the fight the whole time and initiated it entirely. Spector telling us he didn't even watch the game. It was a smart move by Lagesson taking Stutzle out of the game for 5minutes. Too bad they couldn't have gone gonzo and got matching misconducts as well. As it was keeping Stuts off ice was probably why we were able to milk the clunker to OT, and get to OT, and have him kill us there instead.

Take the point, move on, never read Spector.

I was going to say that too, Spec is really reaching these days and trying to pick anything negative about the Oilers and run with it. This guy is so washed up and really needs to take a hike.

Spec has gone off the deep end. Guy has become such a whiney loser.

The forceheck and physicality were the least of the Oilers issues in that series IMO.

Inability to get through the neutral zone with possession essentially relegated the Oilers to not being able to score goals. All the Jets had to do was capitalize on our inevitable turnovers high in our zone or in the neutral zone and sit back defensively. They checked us out of that series not on the boards, but in the middle of the ice. If the Oilers don't get the middle given to them the Oilers aren't able to go and get it. We weren't scoring more than 1/2 goals with the perimeter "chances" we were throwing on net. Every break in was either a neutral zone turnover, a perimeter cycle with no shots, or a low grade scoring chance.

Haha honestly - give us a coach that will trap. I'm at that point with the perpetual embarrassment that our defensive game is.

The Oilers are probably the worst team in the league at neutral zone defense and defending rush chances (from both a goaltending and defenseman perspective), which isn't ideal because we give those up in spades.

I have no data to back this up, but I feel our in zone defense and goaltending isn't that terrible. My feel is that we give up 70% of our goals off of something dumb we did in the neutral zone defensively or gave up too much gap.

Once these guys have sailed into paid trolling they don't stop. The guy is telling us all he cares about is being spoken of, he cares about views and hits. Credibility means nothing. All a guy like this wants is to have his name in print and be read. So that I actually wish people stopped posting the tripe, it just doesn't help. Its what the troll wants. We've already established years ago he's not worth anybodies time.

When was he credible? I must have missed that phase.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I’m not saying he was credible but he’s reached a whole new level of annoying / stupid lately.

 

[bellagiobob]

Jari Kurri made a lot of Finnish kids lifelong Oilers fans...

Nice. Good to hear.

 

[Messrules11]

McDrai were definitely out too long in the OT but Nuge goes out and gives the puck away twice and the second time it’s in the back of the net. Wtf

 

[oobga]

What a dumb take...how is it humanly possible to have so many bad takes?

lol!

I think Spec has been perfecting his craft of having terrible takes for decades. He's firmly in his prime now.

 

[WaitingForUser]

Darnell Nurse has been owning hockey throughout 2022. He's really been on one of his King of the rink runs. He's playing elite hockey and has done more than either Drai or McD to right the ship. This is not due to Bouchard. Bouchard is with Nurse as Nurse is in a Pronger role holding up his D partner. Lagesson has actually been better than Bouchard recently.

Just saying this because Darnell is helping Bouchard numbers and Bouchard still falling down. he needs to just play simpler and have more focus. The way you do that is prethinking game. Know what you're going to do with the puck, what your options are before you get the puck. Bouchard is not sharp doing that right now.

I think I may be able to copy paste this from a Nurse thread from 2 or 3 years ago. Bouchard will only get better give it time everyone.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

And IMO this is why Barrie is elite and missed very much. Our PP flows through him. Bouch will get there but he's not there yet.

Barrie is not elite.

He is worse than Bouchard in every metric.

 

[dssource]

Sens are actually a decent team despite their record. Shame they start the season so poorly. Would love for them to make the playoffs and play the leafs in the first round.

 

[Aceboogie]

Barrie is so frustrating on the PP. Instead of utilizing 2 of the best payers in the world, he goes rogue and takes terrible shots that are 10 feet wide

Atleast Bouchard dishes the puck and shoots at the right time

Barrie just winds up and rips it with a prayer it will either not get blocked or actually hit the net.

Bouchard can actually place his shots.

The comments were gold last night in reply to that. Also this isn't like it was Kassian, Kane or Nurse that got into a fight with him. Heck if it were Kassian I'm sure Kassian would've skated away. Not like he hasn't given younger guys the chance before.

Rope a dope?

 

[McShogun99]

Even if they make the playoffs though we saw it last year 5 on 5 they can't do much. The Jets over powered them last playoffs, granted 3 of the 4 went to OT but you aren't going to do much when your 5 on 5 is so poor.

Every player on the Jets player the defensive series of their lives against us and Helly was a wall. When they played Montreal they completely abandoned their structure.
