Post-Game Talk: Too Much Turkey

[8LX7psQ]

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.

Damnit you’re right...

 

[ElysiumAB]

No man should ever be subjected to Chelsea Dagger three times in one night.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Oilers were sluggish cause they ate too much turkey at their pre game team lunch...too much tryptophan

They went out and got hammered after beating the Rangers. Celebrating too hard with Ebs and Hall.

 

[nabob]

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.

no one in the bottom six is creating anything. Nygard is the only player who’s somewhat noticeable. I’d like to see him get some minutes with linemates who aren’t complete black holes.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Khaira had one shift after he got out of the box and it was following the empty netter. He is awful. $1.2M that could be used elsewhere.

Gagner +Manning +Russell +khaira =Taylor Hall.

 

[MettleMcOiler]

I kinda wanted Nurse to pass to Neal on the 2 on 1...just seemed like the better option then shooting and missing.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

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

Nygard, Khaira, Chiasson, Archibald, Granlund .

Half of our forwards are pretty much useless.

Nygard was off tonight, but I thought he’s been good so far. Unlike most of our bottom 6 he’s at least got points to his name.

 

[CycloneSweep]

In 6 games our second to fourth lines have 2 goals 5v5.

 

[Garbo Man]

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.

For me Khaira isn't near the end of his leash...The leash should be off at this point. Waive him for all i care he's absolute garbo

 

[oobga]

Sloppy game aside from that late PP. Hope they can stop the bleeding quick. Keep playing like that, and the 5-0 start could get erased in a hurry.

Still waiting for the bottom 2 lines to be good for anything aside from the PK and a goal against a night at 5v5.

 

[I am the Liquor]

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.

He did but I thought Smith made more.

 

[Del Preston]

Gagner +Manning +Russell +khaira =Taylor Hall.

+ Archibald

 

[MessierII]

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.

A lot of people saying this but the bottom 6 had some nice chances. Archibald had breakaway and grandlund had a couple of nice chances. Crawford player well. We easily had enough chances to score 3 goals and win this game despite that ugly 2nd.

 

[sundaysleftovers]

Drai and McDavid are playing too much. Right up there with a bunch of defensemen in ice time leaders. The season is a marathon not a sprint.

 

[CycloneSweep]

They need to shake up the middle 6. Nuges line is producing absolutely nothing this year.

 

[Mickmagoo]

If you think about it:
We missed a ton of breakaway and 2 on 1s in the first
Smith messed up on the 2nd.

That HAD to happen for us to lose. Unfortunuate and smith has to stop his leaky bs but otherwise not bad

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I know people won’t like this but I would start to think about calling up Gagner.

 

[onetweasy]

Well that’s usually the type of game that ends of winning streak.

Hawks played pretty well and we looked a little tired/sloppy.

Can’t wait to see how this team responds at home. Will tell us if this 5 game streak was a mirage.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Drai and McDavid are playing too much. Right up there with a bunch of defensemen in ice time leaders. The season is a marathon not a sprint.

We would have 0 wins if we didn't.

 

[Messrules11]

Maybe if Khaira hadn’t of backed up for no apparent reason and took his man, which was Kane, that first goal would’ve never happened. Then there’s the Smith gaffe, Benning and Persson were garbage all night. Defensive miscues did us in tonight.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

Drai and McDavid are playing too much. Right up there with a bunch of defensemen in ice time leaders. The season is a marathon not a sprint.

We literally have nobody else who seems able to score 5v5.

Coaches don’t have a choice at this point.

 

[Heavy Dee]

+ Archibald

+Granlund.

These guys are all giving minimum salary contributions.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I know people won’t like this but I would start to think about calling up Gagner.

He’d be a better option then Kharia

Lmao. Also this happened right after the game:

 

[FlameChampion]

Can’t win them all but feel like we could of had this one.

No finish on any of the chances in the first period.

First line just off tonight. Too many give aways. Trying to be too cute.

The other lines just don’t create much. I liked Jurco but he hasn’t been effective for the last few games.

Archibald was only guy who was noticeable in the bottom 6 but he wasn’t great either.

Smith was good but that second goal against was mostly on him. Ended up being a difference breaker.
