GDT: [WCQF GAME 4] | Edmonton Oilers @ San Jose Sharks | 4.18.17 | 8:00PM | SN

No Crosby suspension, no Leon suspension. Simple as that

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

I mean... this could be our playoff version of the Buffalo Game...right? Right??

Canes lost 4-0 in Game 6 and it could've been worse...

We all know what happened the next game...

Minny lost 6-1 in game 5 against St Louis in 2015 and won the next 2 games and series.

Anything is possible.

 

[McMozesmadness]

I'm less distraught tonight than I was after game one.

I think this will end up being a positive. This should power us to a game 5 win.

Maybe we'll remember how to hit when we're back home.

I've noticed that all series: San Jose players go down VERY easily. Bunch of divers. You just tap them and they drop.

And it works for them, too! Double the amount of PPs compares to us. I wouldn't want our team to play like that, anyway.

 

[CupofOil]

If Draisatl was playing well, I'd agree. He's been putrid. Him and Maroon can take a hike this series.

They still need both of these players to beat the Sharks. You don't give up on two very good players because of a bad stretch of games, that's silly.

 

[McDeepika]

I don't see how we're screwed without Drai. Next to Maroon he's probably been the worst forward on the team this series.

Drai has at least thrown some big checks and won some board battles. His offensive game hasn't been there but he has been doing some things. Drake and Maroon have been the worst forwards IMO.

 

[snag]

Sure just pile a few more suspensions onto the one that Leon gets, brilliant thinking there... or maybe Thornton pushes back and pummels McDavid whether he's into it or not. The Sharks know how to play this kind of game, the Oilers don't. Tonight's a tough lesson but they need to keep their **** together.

Thing is, they know how to play this game because they are being allowed to.

Minny lost 6-1 in game 5 against St Louis in 2015 and won the next 2 games and series.

Anything is possible.

Even more recent, remember when we got run out of our building by the Sabres? Didn't we win 5 in a row after that?

 

[Oilersfan93]

maroon is not a playoff performer. same with nuge and eberle. i dont understand the praise those last two are getting in this section. They both have been non-existent in the o-zone, nugent ****kins missed a ****in open net and eberle is softer than any other forward in the league. this game will turn around this series, we will lose game 5 and 6 and will get eliminated.

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

I miss Taylor Hall right about now.

 

[McPuritania]

Just report and move on

To be honest, I don't want to go through all that ****. It's just too much. My reports get ignored, anyway, lol.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Really? Way to keep things classy...

If they're going to fall down from contact, it's shouldn't be a ****ing dive. Give them a reason to fall

 

[Blitzago*]

Please just send Kassian Lucic and Maroon out as a line again Couture line and rebreak his ****ing jaw. I want blood

I wish I could like posts like I can on facebook.

Honestly don't think the team can be any worse moving forward. Hopefully this lights a fire under them, but who knows? As bad as this is for us, and as shameful as it may feel, it feels a thousand times worse for them right now.

 

[the4thlinegrinder]

Go into this period with the intention of winning the 3rd and getting out healthy. No need to get stupid out there and target their stars with cheap crap.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Drai has at least thrown some big checks and won some board battles. His offensive game hasn't been there but he has been doing some things. Drake and Maroon have been the worst forwards IMO.

He's really been doing nothing. A couple nice hits. So has Eberle and people still want to pitch him out the door.

They still need both of these players to beat the Sharks. You don't give up on two very good players because of a bad stretch of games, that's silly.

They need the Maroon/Drai from the regular season. The ones we've seen this series ...well, quite frankly I haven't seen either of them do anything significant. Drai has been invisible and Maroon has been a detriment.

Obviously you don't give up on them but let's not pretend they've been anything remotely good so far.

I wanna see some punishment!!!
