Post-Game Talk: Too Much Turkey

[DingDongCharlie]

Well the good news is that’s likely Kharia’s worst game of the season, right?

 

[Yeah15]

Edit; nevermind

 

[8LX7psQ]

Bottom 6 doesn’t show up for 6 games and we’re still 5-1.

Hopefully this is a wake up call. Haas shouldn’t be sitting and the second line needs a shake up. I absolutely hate depending on 2 guys for all our 5v5 production.

3 guys in fairness. New Lucic is pretty good so far.

 

[MettleMcOiler]

don't know if they had too much turkey...but that was sloppy...especially with the passing and shooting.
on to the next game...but feel we let one slip here.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Small D (persson, bear). No bottom six.

I thought Bear was fine. Persson is still adjusting. Bottom 6 is worrying though.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

That song is horrible

Yep it's runs its course.

@I am the Liquor...I didn't get a chance to respond to your post in the gdt, but despite the Oilers piss poor four shot 2nd, Crawford made some nice saves to keep the Oilers off the board.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Not getting the calls from the refs or the bounces doesn't help but the Oilers weren't sharp tonight.

Also curious to see if there's a different crowd in the PGT tonight.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

The lack of finishing ability in the 1st bit us.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Perfect season over oh well, can't go 82-0

-nothing from the bottom 6
-Khaira sucks at hockey
-Special teams excellent again
-McDavid was fighting it
-same with Drai
-Crawford was good
-Hawks wanted it more

now it'll be interesting to see how they respond after a loss...2 winnable games at home here. Anything less than 3 points is a bad homestand

 

[48g90a138pts]

Still need goals from the bottom 6 that aren't coming right now. Dear god I hope this isn't going to be the same as last season.

 

[McOvechking]

I hate to say it, but this is what happens when the top line has an off night. Some things never change. No depth scoring 5-on-5.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Don't mean to pick on one player, but are people honestly impressed with Nygard? Apart from speed, he doesn't do much else. He's physical but still gets pushed down way too easily.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

3 guys in fairness. New Lucic is pretty good so far.

Only on the Pp.

He’s not been awful, but nobody in the bottom 9 is contributing 5v5.

The PP is great, but it’s not going to win us every game without some 5v5 support.

 

[Cloned]

Well the good news is that’s likely Kharia’s worst game of the season, right?

There are no limits.

 

[I am the Liquor]

YES!

f*** NO!

 

[Burnoutboi]

I’m not too bummed about this loss. I’m more interested to see how the team responds on Wednesday.

5-1 is a great start. Maybe the effort level wasn’t as great as the previous games, but Chicago was the hungrier team, and played like it.

 

[OilerMcLord]

Well our special teams are still clicking, and Caggiula didn't score!

In a perverse way, I am actually somewhat glad that the Oilers lost. The markings of a good team are how they respond after a loss. Will they drop the next two out of three, or will they win the next two out of three?

Go Oilers!

P.S. ..and you knew that the Hawks were going to be the hungrier team tonight.

 

[Senor Catface]

That Archibald point blank miss really stands out.

 

[rboomercat90]

Looked like a team that had won five in a row and weren’t very hungry as a result. Curious to see what the effort is like in the next one.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Dang it.

Their physicality threw us off half way through the first, the second period was theirs and Crawford stood on his head.

 

[McOvechking]

Don't mean to pick on one player, but are people honestly impressed with Nygard? Apart from speed, he doesn't do much else. He's physical but still gets pushed down way too easily.

There's a lot of guys I'm not impressed with.

Nygard, Khaira, Chiasson, Archibald, Granlund .

Half of our forwards are pretty much useless.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Unfortunately having 2 4th lines really prevents you from winning games like this.

I’d be happier if we had 2 4th lines. Archibald and Kharia just aren’t worthy NHL regulars

[MaxR11]

Poor effort. Night and day. The urgency and effort was not there. LOTS of floating and watching by a lot of players from top to bottom. Little puck support and defensive support. Forcing bad passes. Laid a friggin eggs.

JJ Khaira has got to be near the end of his leash. What an awful effort. Playing like a guy who thinks he's entitled to a spot in the line up. I just flat out don't think he has the urgency and desperation to stay in the line up or the NHL.

Maybe the team was gassed after after the trip but it's the beginning of the season. They look lazy and tired. Cheating. Hoping their teammate will take care of the job and chip a loose puck up instead of getting into the play hard and supporting. They'd better bounce back with a MUCH more solid effort in the next bunch of games. Tips better let them know this was NOT ok despite a 5-0 start.

RNH is like the Kris Russell of 5v5 offense. All he does is dump and chase.
