Post-Game Talk: Wild 3 Oilers 2 Shootout

[Smartguy]

Congrats to Cam Talbot on being 8-1 against his old team.

Came here to say this, good thing Matt Hendricks and letestu are our best shootout performers. Oilers have to find a way to start winning these close games or it's going to be a quick descent

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Also what was with the Wild celebrating like they won the cup?

 

[Throttlehead]

Bonehead Mcgee behind the bench. Like what the **** goes through this guys head when he coaches? Dumbest ****ing coach we have ever had that came to us from a winning culture/team. Hopkins is so useless its actually frustrating that Drai has to make more than 6 mill a year because if ****boy Hopkins gets 6 than Drai deserves much more.

The golden boy was responsible for the 2nd goal and missed in the shootout. Why was is RNH's fault?

 

[McDeepika]

I am going to keep saying it for as long as he keeps playing Hendricks.

McLellan is a ****ing idiot.

 

[Blitzago*]

If only Todd chose sensible shooters for the first three. Drai, McDavid, and Eberle.

To be fair Letestu is infinitely better than McDavid on the shootout.

Hendricks shouldnt even be in the NHL anymore though.

 

[Sempiternal]

I can understand Horcoff back in the day, but NOT Hendricks/Letestu.

I would've gone with Caguila if going off the board...

 

[WayneGreatzky]

could have been 6 points these last 3 games

 

[BudBundy]

Breaking news: we interrupt this scheduled loss to bring you a point. I'll take it against the Wild on a the second of a back-to-back.

 

[KCC]

Letestu and Hendricks are arguably their best shootout players.

On another note, this isn't close to a playoff team. Feels bad man

Yup and mcdavid had a chance to win it as well

 

[Renly Baratheon]

That was like the second bad game I've seen McDavid play. It doesn't happen often.

Minnesota can gtfo. I would love it if the Wild relocated to Houston, thus losing two franchises to Texas.

 

[oXo Cube]

Letestu was 2/2 this year. No problem with that pick.

Hendricks has a cool youtube video of shootout goals but i don't remember the last time he actually scored one.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Pretty sure Letestu has the most SO goals for us this year...

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

woof

Yes?

 

[KingKhron]

Well, it should feel like a win but it doesn't. The did score late in the third against the Wild. That doesn't happen.

with a fair bit of travel tbh

Relax guys, I watch a lot of Oilers games because of McDavid. This is a playoff team. They play an above average game on ES and have average goaltending, decent D and McDavid. Oilers will end up with ~98 points. I don't think they can hold on to the division but they are much better than 8-9 teams in the West.

Shootout losses suck because they are impossible to predict which is why it sucks that a coach like TMc chooses ****ing grinders over skilled players. Every coach does this and I have no idea why...it's like they want to lose.

 

[harpoon]

Information Mnister Stauffer excusing the performance due to 'fatigue'.
Apparently McDavid suffering from a 'terrible flu'.
What a ****ing loser Stauffer is. Get this goof off the radio.

Rather over celebrate a win than be a sad sack bunch of losers.

 

[belair]

Please leave Hendricks in Minnesota.

He didn't have a bad game but I don't want to see him out there in high pressure situations anymore. Dude's just too slow.

 

[KingKhron]

bring up brossoit. ...and I have Gustavsson in my keeper league.... sick of goaltending here

You're kidding. We made it to the shootout because of Talbot.

 

[suddeninterest]

A point against a trap team on the road, game 2 of a b2b, after trailing in the 3rd. Survived full 2 min 4 on 3. Take it and move on, we lost the gimmick. Didn't think we'd get a point at all after the Zucker goal.

 

[McXLNC97]

If only Todd chose sensible shooters for the first three. Drai, McDavid, and Eberle.

I dunno, McDavid hasn't been too impressive on the shootouts. Had the chance to win it for them but didn't come through

 

[Del Preston]

Should have had at least 4 or 5 points on the road trip.

This organization is so ****ing frustrating. Get a little bit of success and then back in the tank a month later.

Well congrats you beat the Oilers. Lots of teams are doing that. Guess it's Cups for the other 29 teams.

Except Winnipeg.
