Wild 4 Oilers 3

[Spawn]

Real frustrating 3rd period.

Break downs just killing this team.

Even though they're obviously much better than they were last year, they are getting dangerously close to "out of it by Halloween" territory.

3-7 in the first 10. Ugh.

Need some defensemen.

**** this ****.

 

[Tom Brady]

I'm sick of this franchise bringing in all these washed up D-man, this's why were always a joke, a ******* decade of the same old ****.

 

[McDrai]

How about that Matthews kid?

 

[Crabapple]

Sucks. McDavid is a treat to watch.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

every year

worse than the last

(no not literally....well....literally...but we're better this year....slightly)

 

[Frank the Tank]

At least the team fights for wins now. The weak links in the chain will be a problem all season.

 

[McXLNC97]

Gryba's brain dead play of the game was the difference.

 

[McDreamy]

I can't believe how many sticks broke.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Can someone up top make a trade for some real ****ing defense? Or are we stuck with nothing but Nikitins, Grybas and Davidsons forever?


Time to take a risk I think.

 

[ehhteen]

Atleast we were still in it. These games last year we'd have lost in the 1st period.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

Frustrating loss. Same story every year. Bad D

 

[Aerrol]

Positive for me - we didn't give up. That's a huge change from last game in a frustrating situation.

Negatives:

The Wild exposed all of our weaknesses - lack of physicality in the lineup, and terrible D. Davidson was awful, Gryba lost us the game, Purcell nearly lost it a second time for us...ugh.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

The difference between winning and losing is often one mistake. We seem to keep making that one critical error.

 

[Del Preston]

Gryba should stop being a ****ing idiot with the puck. What he did on the 4th goal was one of the stupidest plays I've ever seen. Right out of the Steve Staios Playbook. Jesus Christ.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Thanks, Gryba.

Davidson is also a 7th Dman at best. Still lots of work to reanimate this corpse of a team mostly built by Tambo and MacT.

 

[Burger Baron]

What a joke.

I never feel safe when the Oilers have a lead in the 3rd

 

[Rafters]

Mental lapses in the defensive zone cost this game

 

[Pointteen]

Didn't get ot watch much tonight. Halo 5 and all that. Glad Nurse scored. I saw the collapse.

 

[Toydarian]

This team has a worse record at game 10 than last year.

 

[5 14 6 1]

This team is so much better to watch than years past but they can't lock a game down, and their defence just murder them, awful breakouts.

Nurse, McDavid, Klefbom, Hall all played excellent games but it wasn't enough.

Need more from Nuge.

Our third line needs to contribute anything besides defensive zone time.

Gryba, Fayne, and Davidson were terrible tonight

 

[Supermassive]

Nurse-Klefbom was great.
Hall is dominant.
Screw it, call up Draisaitl and dump some of the clowns.

 

[ZJuice]

What is with those sticks tonight.. It was like I was watching a horror movie made for hockey sticks

 

[Soli]

All the good will Gryba banked... gone. Still can't believe that 43 seconds.

 

[iCanada]

Mental lapses in the defensive zone cost this game

Yeah, a little lack of puck luck too.

Three of the four goals were deflected twice.

And, I jinxed us. My bad.
