This game could be a bloodbath. Oilers young guys getting destroyed.

Best player, two best defencemen sitting, Draisaitl playing 4th line minutes. No surprise.

 

[K1984]

Crap teams generally get crap coverage.

Honestly Gene is usually the best thing about Oilers games. Because there's almost no enjoyment otherwise.

I've watched local Panthers broadcasts on Centre Ice that have much, much more actual discussion about the game than an Oiler broadcast. Gene and Kevin turn it into a clown show.

Not disagreeing, but just stating what I'm seeing. At least Draisaitl is as dominant as ever though.

 

[Joey Moss]

Leveille doesn't look too good.

Correction: The Oilers turned it into a clown show.

When you watch the same trash team year after year, what is there to discuss? There are games when you can just smell the apathy coming from Sportsnet.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Leveille doesn't look too good.

Really? I hadn't noticed him looking bad. Waltz and Davis have looked way worse IMO.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Refs love these jets

 

[Joey Moss]

I like Jones.. much better skater than I thought he was.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Phenomenal shift from Bukarts. Did everything but score.

The Panthers broadcast team manages to talk hockey. ALL other broadcasts that I've watched manage to talk hockey regardless of team performance. Gene talks about who went to the most recent Taylor Swift concert.

 

[Dorian2]

I just tuned in. Nice shift there by the Oil.

Scores!!!

 

[McDynasty]

I think we will see a lot of Drai on the top of the board doing his magic

 

[Joey Moss]

Everything he does just seems choppy.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Goal from either Davis or Loiseau, hard to say if Loiseau got a stick on it from the junk angles shown

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Everything he does just seems choppy.

Effective, though. He's very raw but he's usually in the right place. He gave the puck away once in the D-zone but got back in position to break it up.

Again, not much to discuss.

"This is not a recording. The Oilers got thumped by the Flames in embarrassing fashion."

The team has been so bad for so long the broadcasts have to actively distract us from how bad they really are. I wouldn't be surprised if Lowe was paying Sportsnet under the table to find anything to distract the crew from discussing the issues at hand.

Hell if it wasn't for McDavid this year would just be more of the same. And even then it's not a guarantee this won't be another sub 75 point season.

Like I said, Gene was the best part of the broadcast for a lengthy period of time because the team was so mindbendingly horrible that it wasn't even worth tuning in for anything other than Gene.

It's a good thing they scored there or I was about to hop back in my truck and drive back to Kelowna.

 

[the pen is mightier]

How did Waltz even play in the WHL last year? Guy looks like a junior B player.

Funny, I got to the game as the jets scored the second goal, but since I've sat down I was impressed with waltz. Made two nice plays to breakup a pass and block a shot on one shift.

 

[Digger12]

Maybe I missed it, but I think I heard Slepyshev's name exactly one time that period.

For a 21 year old with his KHL numbers, he can't afford to be a complete ghost like he has.

And maybe I'm alone in this, but I'm not being impressed by Caleb Jones. He's had some decent rushes where he's shown his athleticism, but in his own end he's made multiple glaring errors in this tourney. He's definitely a long term project.

Really liked Platzer's effort level in that period, had some great PK work in one sequence, was physical and showed some good confidence bringing the puck up ice.

Draisaitl was very strong, but he really needs someone who can finish what he starts. He may as well tell his wingers to go back on defense and help the dmen out for all the good they're doing him.

 

[herestohoping]

Are you kidding me, they didn't know how to work the coin lock on a shopping cart! lmao.

Same except I gotta trek all the way back to victoria...

He hasn't played much.

 

[s7ark]

Jets kicked the crap out of the Oilers in the 1st. should be 3-1

 

[Spawn]

The reffing in this tournament has been shockingly bad lol.
