3 games they have been outgoalied. Not blaming JUST out goalies, some luck was involved. But look at the last period tonight!…..At some point it would be nice if the OILERS goalie "stole" a game.
It baffles me how the GM has not traded for an NHL Calibre goalie. These little win streaks do not solve the problemā¦ What an absolute disaster. GM needs to stop with the excuses and make something happen.
Holland has done a good job of adding guys like Kane and Hyman to our forward lines, and Ekholm on defense. But when it comes to goaltending he's dropped the ball. Neither Campbell or Skinner are what this team needs. He has to bite the bullet and trade for a legit #1 goalie or it's another wasted season.
Another long and not satisfying night for me in Germany to support my team. 1st Period looked lije they spoke about being a team on ice, out of this came the goal from Leon as a result of good passing out of the own zone. But what you alsocould see that most of the players thought that they could win without any contact to their opponent!? sothe Islanders start playing withj the Oilers and so they shot also a lot of our goal too. Skinner was better than last time. In the second period you can see the frustration of bad passing, and badder shooting in oilers faces. During another penalty we got the equalizer and that was the great break in our game. Everyone seems to be the one who will score get the win done, but most of the tries arent really good. so we got in our powerplay a goal against us, and in this goalyou could see all the faults they have to take care for. No look pass to the blue line, but nobody there, the passer didnt move backwards the other wing tried to do it with one defender. so Islanders had a 2 on 1 situation, and instaed of letting the one who had the puck the shoot, so that Skinner could fixhim and find a good position our defender looses the position between the both and got outpassed, result goal via direct shoot, no chance for skinner! And this was the story of the game, after the second period Islander had 24 blocks and 19 checks, Oilers only 6 and 6 !!! sexond fact yyou could see was, that the hole team collapses after getting the third goal, trying to do figureskating and alibi shots. only one good defense action from Ekholm and a good check from Kane, rest is silence… . from my point of view they have to train playing resolut and tough against the opponent striker, man on man, protecting the slot, helping their teammates without any compromise, dont move out of the slot in the corner with both defense men, this is a schoolboy fault, check the opponents out of the room in front of the goal and use your body to block shots too. help your doalie damned!!! and ceck them, hard and with power behind the goal, dont be figure skater. Play simple, not over the mass complicated, you wont get an oscar! and dont do frustration fouls, if you be frustrated check them hard, move your action to the end , man! Never give up, never! Be tough and strong if you are checked, be a killer and shout "yeeha" if you check them as hard as you can!!! thats the way it goes! Come on guys, your not clowns or posing for the sports illustrated in swimsuits!!! thx Patrick for the new infos, sorrx for my hard words but perhaps they will wake them up. cheers from dark and early (5am) Germany
On the Isles first goal he was standing behind Nurse and Ceci. This happens all the time where they lose guys or our forwards are still not skating hard back to our end and we get scored on off the rush. Theyāve looked terrible last two games and the 1st and 3rd periods vs TB were not good. Yeah lots of shots, but not too many grade A. 8 in a row was just a smoke screen trying to hide our poor play. The smoke has cleared and we seem to be exposed again.
Why Broberg? Why not Niemelainen? I guess we just need to give up on the one that we donāt think will be good, ever.
Wow so trade away a first-round pick plus broberg which was another first round pick to get rid of the goalie that we chose to sign long term…. Worsr managed team in NHL and Connor will never win a cup here
Oilers have totally reverted back to the way they played to go 5-12. Tell me how a team can win 8 straight, some against very GOOD teams, and then do a 180 back to the lazy, inept, mistake-ridden team that started the season? Anyone who thinks this team will make the playoffs is just dreaming.
Wouldnāt watch my Coilers, realistically knowing theyād likely serve up another stinkerā¦listened to some of the 1st, but when they gave up a shorty on the powerplay, I was done. 3ļøā£ of the Isleās starting D outta the lineup, too. I wonāt waste my time listening to the fanboys juvenile drivel.
3ļøā£1ļøā£ shots on goal & ONLY 1ļøā£ to showā¦letās blame BOTH goalies, againāļø
Maybe the Oilers can set a record for the most losses outshooting the opposition and set a record for the most losses with 40+ shots in a game (they only had 31 tonight).
Terrible two's for the Oilers once again. Bottom five in the second period league wide. Can't have three minutes on the PP, one being five on three, and go -1 for that stretch. I'll still take an 8-3-0 stretch though. Many games in short time, easy to put this one in the rear view!

Man we are not going to beat teams with good goalies
As days continue without a trade, just feels like we hurt our playoff run.

Goalie,goalie is what we need.fire the current goalie coach
Get the flower, šø. Mcfluery
I've never seen a team work harder and accomplish less. They make every goalie look like Martin Brodeur in his prime.

The devils were on a back to back when they beat them . Different story this time.
You are way calmer than Tyler.

I love the genuine disappointment in your voice š a hard watch forsure but we just gotta pray for the devils game
Season is officially done
Ya wait until there out if it too make a move lmfao great idea! š if they wait until feb its too damn late
Wow so trade away a first-round pick plus broberg which was another first round pick to get rid of the goalie that we chose to sign long term…. Worsr managed team in NHL and Connor will never win a cup here

What a jš“ke šš»

Should call up Rodrigue and give him a go Thursday night. Or maybe see how Pickard does vs NJ then call up Rodrigue afterwards.
Oilers suck lol, 15-15-1 isnāt 500 bud šš
