Post-Game Talk: TSN Tipping Point

[Del Preston]

I'm not expecting anything to change, but I'm gonna be so disappointed if that moustache-less f*** is still the coach tomorrow morning.

Outshot, outchanced, outscored, outplayed at 5-on-5 again. No adjustments ever.

 

[Canovin]

McDavid and Drai really disguise a lot of our problems on D. Nurse with 3 freebie points and -3 tonight

[94 Oil Drops]

We were so lucky we won the last game. This one... We just wrapped it up and gave it away to the Jets. An excellent opportunity squandered with a classic Oilers 20 min effort. **** off!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Team was bad, yeah, but I'll say this again: we had the LONG CHANGE in the final 1:30. It was IMPOSSIBLE for us to change the lines on the fly after getting the zone. So that was betting on either: (1) maybe this next-to-useless third line will somehow score in this situation, or (2) maybe the Jets' goalie will forget how to do his job and cover the puck after a muffin shot. Those were the possibilities. With a timeout. What the faaaaaaaaaaaack

Or, maybe he calls a timeout and gets our good players out again for that faceoff.

 

[KlefDown]

say what you will about Tippett's lineup decisions but his in-game decisions are just as bad, absolutely no adjustments

I don't want to fire him and hire our 10th coach in 10 years but fuuuuuuucking hell man this guy

 

[ohheyhemsky]

I just don't get so many of the choices tonight.

The biggest one is the challenge. Sure, don't take it because of the risk. Didn't work out, but then 5-4 with a 1:30 left, and he still doesn't use the time out? Uses our pieces of shit on the third line for some reason?

Just...

What?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Tippett is coaching to get fired. Can’t see how so many fans don’t realize that at this point

He’s been coaching to get fired since March.

 

[FlameChampion]

Team is so frustrating. Its like they get a lead and then stop trying to push the play.

Tippetts decisions just seem awful since the play-ins. Maybe he just doesnt give a f**k because he getting a reduced salary.

 

[McAsuno]

I'm not expecting anything to change, but I'm gonna be so disappointed if that moustache-less f*** is still the coach tomorrow morning.

Watch the moron move up Kassian again.

 

[Mowzie]

Trash team defense, but this L goes to Tippett. Poor roster decisions and ever worse in-game decisions, use your f***ing timeout!! This franchise continues to be a revolving door of mediocrity. McDavid looked totally disinterested for his 5-on-5 shifts. We are gonna lose more than we win this year.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

1:40 left down by one.
What do you do?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Jets deserved this win...they're deeper and the scary part is they haven't added PLD to their roster yet

the Oilers are a mess defensively

Barrie is a bust
Russell was awful
4th line was a liability

 

[ghostnights]

If we lose these next two I’m taking a 20 game hiatus.

I don't think a coach is going to make a difference.

The roster is the problem, not the coach.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Lets call a spade a spade. This is a bad team disguised by a McDrai.
Outside of those two, they are below average at every single position outside of possibly #1LW and #2RW.
All these years and they still can't put together a team of more than 3-4 good players.

I actually don’t think they’re a bad team. Not necessarily a good one but not a bad one either. But there’s always someone holding them back.

 

[McAsuno]

1:40 left down by one.
What do you do?

Bring out the 3rd line and not call a TO! #Dinosaurcoaching

 

[GMofOilers]

Bear can take a seat again, he sucks

 

[belair]

The Oilers need another center. Might as well trade for Dunn also because Left D is desperately in need of a guy who can support the offense. Russell and Barrie are a horrendous mismatch and will never get anything done with a fourth line that can't make a single pass.

Khaira comes out again, without question.

 

[quickfeet]

Is preseason over?

 

[LTIR]

It would help if Draisaitl -- by far the best shooter on the club -- would record more than 1 or 2 shots on goal per game.

Need Nuge on his line

 

[The Panther]

Ha.

Our bottom-6 and bottom-4 are absolute garbage.

I didn't say it was a good line-up. I said it was "decent". But performing like a last-place team.

 

[MessierII]

At least we’re not the rangers

 

[fresh meat]

Archibald had a xGF% of 4.

How is this idiot still in the lineup, brings absolutely nothing.

Did you see his line mates? I felt sorry for arch all game

 

[Llamamoto]

If only we had a line that was the best line in the NHL in 2020.

Oh wait...

 

[MettleMcOiler]

Koskinen...thanks for doing your best!
Hope you get a rest after this eight game test which ended in a mess.
