If Pickard had started we’d be up 1-0.

Oh well, positive thoughts!

 

[Mav3rick07]

Does anyone else think that the team is sick with the flu ? It would explain their effort (or lack there-of) these past two games.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Agree - we've been playing the Canucks game the last 2 games.

Yep…. Blowing games 1 and 3 will be hard to recover from

 

[DrDrai]

If this is the effort level then they all better have the worst ass flu of all time.

 

[GOilers88]

Some of you need to go have angry sex with the missus, have a smoke, and come back and just enjoy the ride.

 

[Vagabond]

Do you save the boner pills and smelling salts for the 3rd or just double the dose starting in the 2nd?

McLeod: Throw a f***ing hit!

Why? He is playing exactly like his coach wants. Hitting isn’t a priority in his system.

McLeod

Was the one game where not even McD charged out on the ice.

The Oilers kind of just skated on out. Without Metallica thumping there was zero enthusiasm.

Did Skinjob even do his hairtoss? I missed it.

No California Closets commercial anymore? lol

Yeah Ekholm a few games back completely lost his voice pre-game. I think there's a bug traveling through the locker room.

 

[rboomercat90]

Did I hear that Stu told the press before the game that he deserved the net because he had done it all year?

If so then that's an eye-opener. Maybe I misheard what the broadcasters said.

That’s what they said. Skinners entitlement is even more off-putting than his play on the ice.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Oilers look shaky and nervous overall from the net out... they know they have to win obviously and some teams step up and embrace that pressure and others will wilt under it... we'll see what team it is over the next 40 minutes.

I'm hoping for a massive 2nd and 3rd here.

 

[Louis Cypher]

Nurse is getting a goal. Hopefully on Vancouver

 

[Drivesaitl]

Is this true?? He asked for the game and got it?

Craig Simpson even said so" Skinner was adamant that the net was his"

what a team guy.

 

[MoontoScott]

That’s what they said. Skinners entitlement is even more off-putting than his play on the ice.

Thank you--so I did hear that.

I thought that was shocking-he has to earn his place.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Need Ian Cole bounce here

 

[foshizzle]

Is it me, or does Vancouver just look like the more experienced team

 

[walktheboulavard]

McDrai are drunk

Everybody sick but Skinner, great, what luck.

Vancouver is reportedly coming off a flu so maybe they got us sick ?

 

[nexttothemoon]

I guess I view Skinner as being very confident in his abilities if he's demanding to be in the net... but his playoff performances over 20+ games in his career... don't support that level of confidence.

 

[oobga]

What even happened there with Drai's first play to clear. Sheesh

 

[DrDrai]

I feel like the oilers are responsible for 25% of the canucks zone entries.

We always bring the puck back and then lose it.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Better organization, better coaching

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

awkward and bad shift

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Mcdavid looks meh again
