Post-Game Talk: Wild 4 Oilers 3 - Not so Special (Teams)

[Spawn]

Pretty easy to see where this game was lost.

Oilers - 0/5 PP
Wild - 3/3 PP

Honorable mention to a terrible 3rd period effort against a team that played and traveled the night before.

It was there for them, needed to be better.

 

[oXo Cube]

f*** me man

 

[Del Preston]

That was terrible.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

This team has been owning our ass for the past decade

 

[5 14 6 1]

Special teams were horrible

 

[YakDavid]

I hate how Tmac could have an out if he wanted. Special teams were brutal but the refs were worse.

 

[Mr Positive]

I would only hope that this is an eye opening game for our coaches.

 

[Tom Brady]

This loss really botherd me.

 

[oobga]

Moral victory. Lucic touched a loose puck around the net with his stick.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Talbot should just stay at home for the next couple games, clearly he is too tired to try to stop the puck so he sits on his knee's half the game.

 

[Porkleaker]

Fix 1st PP unit Lucic is terrible.

 

[Joey Moss]

Nurse just f***ing stood there on Granlund's goal what the f*** are you doing?

Puljujarvi and Bouchard better be back in the lineup next game. Caggiula was awful and somehow got promoted to top line.

 

[McAsuno]

Todd and his joke of accountability was a big factor in this loss. In what world did Caggiula deserve top minutes? Gtfo out of Edmonton, McLellan.

 

[Soundwave]

Lucic and Strome have one goal in 11 games and are paid a combined 9 million. At what point is "intangiables" not good enough? Both blew clean chances in the slot.

 

[belair]

0/8 Special teams. You don't deserve to win those games.

On to the next one.

 

[McDrai]

Atrocious special teams and their goalie was better. The tale of last season.

 

[Cloned]

I blame @CycloneSweep

jk

Koskinen wins this one though, I think.

 

[PeakMcOil]

Oilers probably didn't deserve this one, came out flying and did sweet f*** all in the last 2 periods.

Can we talk about how bad that non icing call on Staal was late in the third? He wasn't even near the centre line ffs.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

I vote we use a hat with names in it for the pp units. At least then it would make sense when they were f***ing terrible.

Only trying hard matters around these parts. Could just run in place and get nowhere, but as long as you look like you're trying hard doing it, you get a free pass.

 

[fancy dan]

give an assist to the refs

 

[Mowzie]

This one stings. Hopefully this forces the coaches to work on special teams again. Losing isn't fun.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

special teams lost the game...plain and simple

Wild are old as dirt and played the night before, should've been there for them but a classic case of a let down game after a road trip

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

That's called throwing away 2 points. Give up 3 leads, and put forward a lacklustre effort in the 3rd period at home against a team on a back to back.
McLellan for some reason blending lines in a tie game.
