does that account for Markstrom in net?

 

[Broberg Speed]

look at that cycle frone Nuge, c'mon man we need a defensive center so ####### bad

 

[NedPlimpton]

Crikey. Just zero sustained pressure.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Boy. This team's wingers without Kane...

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Are they just tired?

 

[McTedi]

Yam hasn't seemingly won a board battle this year.

 

[Ruok]

Boy. This team's wingers without Kane...

Hyman usually good. Not tonight though.

 

[BlackDogg]

Maybe his point is that Pulji is the plug and hence the top line floats?

We need the plug to score

 

[Shizuka]

Not only did McDavid avoid him, Hyman looked him off as well.

It's because he puts himself into really poor spots. If a guy is on the wall and comes away with it.. he'll be on the side of the goal... directly behind a defender, on the far side of the post instead of right in the house / slot or in front of the D and fighting off any attempt to box him out. If he dishes off to a D in our zone, he does the same huge, useless loop in our end and he'll close up to the puck carrier on a rush, too close, and effectively shut off a lane for the rusher while also putting himself in a spot where 1 defender can essentially cover off the puck carrier AND him. Just zero hockey sense.

I've defended and hoped, but it is over. The guy is a drag on the line up, and the constant having to babysit his ego is a distraction. Drop him for a 7th rounder if you can even get that, and be done with it.

Opportunities to kill some clock in the offensive zone and they just can't do anything.

It's amazing how many guys on this team just cannot cycle the puck. We are on the wrong end of a puck battle so much every game. Just being a good 5 on 5 team feels like it would be a Stanley Cup win

 

[Cloned]

Do we have 1 goal on 1 shot this entire period?

 

[McTedi]

Oilers making Ritchie look like a offensive dynamo

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

can they execute a clean breakout? FFS

this will really test their defensive mettle

 

[BlackDogg]

Are they just tired?

"really would have been back to backs if we'd a played yesterday" Jay

 

[gordonhught]

This Hrudy is insufferable.

 

[Oilers333]

Can the Oilers actually hold on to a lead in the 3rd period?!?!

 

[syz]

Faceoffs also... going poorly.

 

[walktheboulavard]

Can't keep losing defensive draws and subsequent coverage

 

[BlackDogg]

Give me a break on that icing

 

[NedPlimpton]

Always be icing, baby.

 

[Sanchez]

Holy f*** these icings

 

[Ruok]

Faceoffs also... going poorly.

Its a big problem in the defensive zone.

 

[xoczar99ox]

Has Skinner seen a sub 40 shot game this year?
