Post-Game Talk: Welcome to 1984

[World Wanderer]

so that makes it what .. McDavid #1 (12), and Drai #2 (11) in the league right now for points?

 

[phrenssoa]

Draisaitl is so f***ing good. Crazy consistent too.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

How is that different from now?

Its like when the Oilers were bad and the game was over midway through the 1st period but in reverse.

 

[McShogun99]

It's amazing what decent goaltending does for your win-loss record.

We'd be 1-4 with Talbot in net.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

The only players who suck are Granlund, Benning and Russell. Even those guys are sort of doin stuff.

eatn ass and rippin balls

 

[McXLNC97]

Hey, it's pretty fun to have a 7 point lead on 9th place like 10 days into the season.

Banking these points early in the season is huge. Team has confidence. Being down in the game doesn't faze them. Playoffs are a possibility.

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

This game was a lot better than the game vs NJ

 

[gordonhught]

And we still have Jones/Bouchard/Lagesson/Broberg waiting in the wings.

And Samorukov. And Larsson injured.

 

[Garbo Man]

Holy tap dancing Christ boys should I start taking says off for the parade next year or what?

 

[Cloned]

We'd be 1-4 with Talbot in net.

We’d also be 2-3 without Neal.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

They're beating weak teams. - Flames fans

No shit. That's what you're supposed to do.

 

[McXLNC97]

We'd be 1-4 with Talbot in net.

100% one of those point shots today would have squeezed through Talbot.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Habs fan chiming in here. I had to take a quick shower after the Draisaitl goal, it was so dirty that it made me feel dirty just watching it. God damn!

Did you see trouba or he still looking in the stands for his jock.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Too late. JTS already did a version of that.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

They're beating weak teams. - Flames fans

No ****. That's what you're supposed to do.

Oilers win - they’re just beating bad teams anyways.

oilers lose - lmfao those shitbags lost to a bad team

 

[Cloned]

The only players who suck are Granlund, Benning and Russell. Even those guys are sort of doin stuff.

Granlund is pretty much a zero net event player. When his line is on the ice it just eats up ice time. That’s actually somewhat valuable as the season wears on.

 

[Heavy Dee]

I wonder when was the last time we swept new York on a trip?

 

[KCC]

Draisaitl is so ****ing good. Crazy consistent too.

But apparently he’s a by product of mcDavid

 

[McXLNC97]

Draisaitl has been better than McDavid so far this season.

Don't @ me.

I wouldn't be shocked if Drai beat out McDavid for Art Ross.

 

[Cloned]

100% one of those point shots today would have squeezed through Talbot.

Panarin scores at least one if Talbot is in.

 

[WhyYouHaveToBeMad]

He probably wasn’t able to do any stick drills this summer. It’s going to take him a good 10-15 games to shake the rust off.

What's amazing is he hasn't been himself and still potting up the points and leading the league in scoring

 

[dem]

There is something hilarious about people saying McDavid doesn’t look good... while he is literally scoring 2 points per game.

 

[Drai Fi]

I would like to give a MASSIVE shoutout to our PK this year. It is such an improvement over the shit we dealt with over the last few season. It’s the biggest reason why we won this game. It kept us in it. Obviously good goaltending helps with that, but as a unit, they guys have been excellent.

Even if the the bottom six isn’t scoring right now, at least they’re pulling their weight defensively. Sheahan especially is looking like a great pick up just for his work on the PK.

 

[iCanada]

Granlund is pretty much a zero net event player. When his line is on the ice it just eats up ice time. That’s actually somewhat valuable as the season wears on.

Especially when you have McDrai on one line. Kind of the perfect 4th line player for us. McDrai will win their matchup, if the rest of the team doesn't lose we win.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Man Ethan Bear is slick. Those subtle plays are what Lidstrom did so well.
