GDT: VIII | "Afternoon Delight" | Oilers @ Avs | 2.2.13 | 1PM | SNET-W

Where's the effort in this game from this team.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

12-2 shots

Lol what a joke

 

[Spawn]

The sky is falling the sky is falling

3 years of being the worst team in the league when you factor in this game allows people to be upset. Good teams don't have games like this as frequently as the Oilers do.

End of a road trip game

What a massive pile of crap. Hemsky was on a playoff team that made it to game 7 of the stanley cup finals. He has probably been the best defensive player on the second line this season.

Not worth arguing with "I seen him real good" types. Hemsky's consistently been one of, if not THE best Oiler over the past 7-8 years in terms of chances for vs. against while he's on the ice. And it's not because Edmonton's been a super-offensive juggernaut that never let the other team into their own zone. It's because Hemsky has a very solid two-way game.

 

[Wheathead]

This board is depressing.

 

[McDNicks17]

Time for another scorched earth rebuild.

 

[DisgruntledGoat*]

Lol, okay buddy. Like I said eqarlier in the thread, "lots of wrist cutting in this thread"

Whatever you say, 'buddy'. Outshot 12-2... Against a depleted divisional rival...

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

Col plays like they are down 2 goals

 

[McJadeddog]

This looks exactly like a team that has played 3 times in the past 65 hours. Don't see why people are surprised by this effort at all. We'll live to fight another day people, everybody needs to step back from the ledge, lol

 

[oilerfanatic]

this team ain't going nowhere until they acquire some big guys who are tough to play against.

 

[hossy316]

Hahaha, some people. The team is playing their 3rd road game in less than 72 hours. Just relax, hope you don't break your legs jumping on and off the wagon.

 

[McJC]

This game just shows how heart will always beat skill

Best defensive player on the second line that includes a rookie in Yakupov? How long Hemsky been in the league? He better not be the worst defensively on that line.

Gagner wasn't very good defensively, but he gives an effort to fight for pucks on the defensive end.

Hemsky certainly was better and care more back in 2006 but that was 6+ years ago. He hasn't been any good in terms of defensive effort in the last few years.

And we had Pronger. Who led us in scoring. Not Hemsky. BTW Hemsky was 4th in scoring in that playoff run, and second worst in plus/minus on the team at -3. Pronger was +10.

This looks exactly like a team that has been the worst in the league for 3 years.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

Ok two normal passes between the d alone and they screw that up

 

[flashy]

can this team establish a forecheck for the love of god.

 

[Expatriate]

Oilers getting outclassed right now. Outshot 12-2 in the third right now when you are down a goal.

Type of performance we have seen all too often in the past few years.

I thought we had turned it around but this is what we ahave seen for the last few years. No fight what so ever.

 

[DrDrai]

this game first comes down to capitalizing on their early chances, could have been 3-0 early

secondly, sometimes this team is going to have to grind, and that means everyone, and they aren't doing it

 

[tv14]

We need a greasy bottom-6 garbage goal. Is Petrell the only one not in the top-6 to score?!

 

[Psychoil]

It's true we have 3 ****ing first overall picks. Im sick of this ****, start closing games here

 

[oilerfanatic]

fire lowebellini and hire burkie

 

[OilerTyler]

God dammit Nuge

 

[McJadeddog]

Wow, Nuge just can't buy a goal

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

can this team establish a forecheck for the love of god.

Besides the first line sometimes and 3rd it had not happened consistently since 2006

Hopkins can't buy a goal
