Nice and Simple GDT. Perfect. If the Oilers win tonight I nominate Del for GDTs going forward. His record in the regular season with GDTs was just how I'm feeling about tonight's game....
Funny thing is our team was actually great in matinee games this season.
I wasn't going to complain this time. I quit my job for playoffs. JkGame is so late I’ll be asleep by the third.
Stupid 6 am shift.
I'm an absolute wreck for this game
please for the love of god dissemble the Neal -Khaira - Chia line
Neal and Chiasson looked playoff ready imo. Still thinkYou're a wreck and your biggest concern is the 4th line? You realize they weren't on for any goals against and were actually effective at keeping play in the Hawks zone right? If you're a wreck you should be worried about McDavid's line, Klef and Larsson, and the PK. RNH, Sheahan and Archibald were not getting it done on the PK Saturday.
I agree with everything you said, everyone needs to be better at 5v5 but it's pretty obvious that our top 6 is set in stone with no movement happening.You're a wreck and your biggest concern is the 4th line?

I really don't think this is the case. The team just didn't show up and he wasn't able to make adjustments.What are the chances they actually game plan today? Based on the first game the Oilers did zero game planning for the hawks. Huge let down by Tippett. Sure the players sucked but there didn’t seem to be a plan other than just go out and play.
Time for him to prove it.I really don't think this is the case. The team just didn't show up and he wasn't able to make adjustments.
Tippett is one of the better coaches in the game for film and watching teams.
I mean if his players decide to play shinny, there isn't a lot he can doTime for him to prove it.

I'm not going to lie. Tippett shouldn't have to say anything after that loss. If these guys can't figure out what went wrong themselves they shouldn't be in the NHL.Yup. Wasn't a game plan issue other than coach decision to start Smith, a veteran leader known and trusted. Game one was an execution cluster flock with bad decision making in all areas, most notable in own zone play; passivity; and chasing the game instead of sticking to disciplined, system play.
Tippett and his coaching staff I think have been fantastic this year. I look to Koskinen to start and this team to rebound with a much greater commitment and work ethic to reduce turnovers and play with discipline in their own end. Connor to adjust and have a big game. Don't think Tippett is a coach to panic and make wholesale roster changes. But rather to focus the message for between the ears play of this team's personnel. Game 2 reset & Oil win coming (gulp ... hopefully ... please ... lol).
