Post-Game Talk: Who is worried about 97?

[Oil Dood]

Honestly, Manning as a bottom pairing isn't bothering me as much as Russel in top 4 or Klef in top pairing.

Manning was alright this game, Russel/Klefbom were not.
Jujar can go back to Bako for the season now, have seen way too much of him not doing anything

 

[MettleMcOiler]

I felt like the rest of the team was waiting for McDavid and Draisaitl to do something. I mean hello, you guys can do something too!

 

[MessierII]

You think McDavid has his yearly flu?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Khaira already a -5, same with Sheahan.

Khaira is a terrible hockey player

 

[TheNumber4]

I went to play video games after that pathetic first period and I see I missed nothing along the way. Better right this ship and quick Dave.

What’d u play?

 

[Oil Dood]

As a 4M top 4, he's ok because of his abilities and salary. But people here treat him like he's legit 1st pairing. He's a spot duty 1st pairing in the same vein as Petry

Petry would throw the occasional hit, Klef does not at all. Petry could stay healthy, Klef not so much.
Watching tonight...I am done with that guy, most overrated player we have.

That's actually every game TBH. If McDrai ain't lifting...you think Nuge will drag the team?

Agreed, surly we could have kept up Cave or Marody over him?

I guess better now while we still have some win overhead lol

 

[KCC]

Good thing EDM got ahead of themselves and banked those early games. lol

I mean, once or twice isn't too much to ask...

Trying to get through Fire Emblem before Luigi’s Mansion comes out but damn if it isn’t a very long game.

still having fun though. And I want to get in a Gears 5 coop run with a buddy before too long.

 

[Heavy Dee]

I can imagine it. And I’m worried. If the Oilers ruined McDavid becomes a thing, that’s it for me, I’m done with hockey.

How didn't they ruin him?

Cut back his ice if needed. He needs to show some leadership in all 3 zones.

 

[MessierII]

Khaira already a -5, same with Sheahan.

Khaira should be done. He’s been useless for well over a year now.

 

[TheNumber4]

If there dowe 3-0, is there a different way to attack the offensive zone then dump and chase? Maybe fire it on the goalie and charge the net and hope for some rebounds? Very listless attacking.

Oilers have been like this for years. IF they even gain possession in he zone, they get shut down easily cause none of their possession or cycling ever translates into a chance. All the opposition needs to do is put 5 Guys back, once the space is gone we don’t have the skill to make anything happen.

No one else attacks. You literally have 2 players and then a bunch of nothings

 

[oobga]

Oh dang. Did McDavid sell Gretzky that watch and find out from this vid that the great one was bragging about ripping him off? Would explain a lot.

There’s a new Luigi’s mansion coming out. I’m so out of the loop gaming wise these days, was thinking of getting some gaming in to wash out memories of this Oilers loss which is why I asked lol.

Totally. That's why I brought it up. When trailing substantially they default to this zombie dump and chase. I would figure by now they would...you know...try something different.

 

[Oil Dood]

Khaira should be done. He’s been useless for well over a year now.

I agree, the only use he has now is as expansion bait. Bring up Marody, Cave, Benson or Yammo.

As absurd as this sounds, maybe they are keeping him here because of the East Indian fanbase he brings?

I know Spec and Stauff were hinting at that a few weeks ago when questioning why Khaira is still in the lineup

 

[TheNumber4]

Okay. So if it’s okay with Flames homer Kevy999 I would like to inquire on how bad Talbot has been this Flames game. Tuning in now.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Should call up Gamberdella/Currie/Benson. Honestly a
Benson-Nuge-Neal
Gamberdella-Sheahan-Currie

set up has more appeal than Khaira/Archibald. Throw those 2 on the line with Granlund I don't understand how they keep seeing ice time getting caved ever since they got put together.

 

[Del Preston]

Idle thoughts:

If I put Troll Stomper on ignore is it no longer able to PM me and therefore give me warnings?

 

[Oilhawks]

Lack of speed was really noticeable tonight. Adding Nygard, Haas and Persson back to the lineup would help considerably.

They desperately need them back in. It's not the biggest issue but it will help.

I hate to say it but put Gagner in and hope for the best. If anything he'll help stir the drink offensively a little. People are concerned about the defensive game but they can't keep getting shut out.
