Rasmus has two points but he's looked awful. His breakouts are just terrible, waits too long and kills the flow. When he finally passes to forwards, he puts it in their feet or sends a suicide pass.
That didn't age well.

Think anyone goes after Mangiapane tonight?
God I hope so. Hopefully McCann himself lays him out

I really hope so. I’d love to see Dunn just go berserk

Yes please, I know Dunner is itching for it too, he hasn’t fought in, like, two games

I need to see it, viscerally.

Shots on goal in the 3rd… 12-3… can you guess who is who?!?!?
Quote:
I’m gonna poop my pants
Quote:
Pathetic effort in the 3rd. Out hustled and out muscled.
Quote:
Outshot 5 to 1 in the third. Need to play a full 60. Still can't tell if it's focus, fatigue, or who knows what. So frustrating.
Quote:
What the hell, Kraken 3 SOG in the 3rd
Quote:
Oh goody another OT game because this team can't play a full 60 minutes and hold onto/build on any lead if their lives depended on it. It's like watching a football team that plays prevent defense in the 4th quarter and gets beat because of it
Quote:
Well that's what happens when you keep letting them get tons of offensive zone time and can't clear the puck and play defense by just flailing all over the place
Quote:
Can we just close a game out? Good God, 3rd periods are just the worst.

Loser point play once again. Asleep at the wheel for the third and it might cost them a point.

Wild season so far. They are playing hard and good most nights. Seems like the occasional lapse in focus costs us, which may be a consequence of the play style.
Quote:
Another excruciatingly painful loss.
Quote:
Trash 3rd period, trash OT play = this outcome every time. This team apparently learns nothing from its previous failures
Quote:
2 steps forward 1 step back. 0 consistency with this team. You think they figured it out and then the bad habits come back and they blow a winnable game. The real annoying thing is it's almost Thanksgiving and we are in such a ####ty division and conference that even when playing ass we are still in a position to make the playoffs with a roster that probably needs to be revamped instead
Quote:
4-3.....loss?
Wait, that's not how this works....
Quote:
And there you have it. Choke job complete. This team is s o f t.
New Coach Smell
Quote:
I think i understand why we got favourable reffing calls in the BoA playoffs. Bettman wanted that to be our “Cup” so he gave us that. Satiate the fanbase with Flames blood, now he can work on getting McDrai out of here and gut this franchise for good.

nuge and losing a puck battle, name a more iconic duo

Lose most of the battles especially on the boards

Good to see this new coach winning all these games.

i wish somebody SHeiffled Bennett there when he went around our net

Oil love that little Bouchard o zone dink stuff to five foot passes to a forward along the boards. Defending teams feast on this garbage passing for turnovers and clears.

Despite 2 McGoal's another L forthcoming
Quote:
Calgary comes back to send the game vs Kraken to OT and then they win it in OT.
Perfect night for an Oilers fan.
Quote:
Kraken seemingly exist just to lose to the Flames. What a putrid game. Both of these clubs are not that good. Seattle play entire 3rd period doing nothing but chippng puck out. Absolutely dominated in third because they were ####ting their pants for an entire period. You could bet a house that Kraken were going to find out a way to lose this game.
Dunn gets outmuscled by Mangypane to the net for tying goal. Of course Flames most hated player scores the winner. f*** off Kraken.
Kraken get the loser point essentially for throwing the game.
Kraken are 0-6 against the Flames at Climate Pledge arena. Must be reducing all energy expenditure. How do you even manage to lose every freaking time to the Flames? Boggles the mind.
Quote:
There it is. Worst fear starting to manifest. Oilers can't beat a piñata with full eyes on the prize. Flamers weather their below expected goalscoring with solid 1A/1B goaltending through the early season and now the underperforming are starting to score with Uberdough and bigbreadman helping Seattle cough up a third period lead with under five minutes to go.
Quote:
Seattle third was completely disgusting Imagine just trying to protect a one goal lead for 20 mins with your back up goalie in. Wht possible bad thing could happen? Seattle were outshot 16-3 in the third and the whole period could barely get the puck out being outworked everywhere. Flames couldn't even score, but Mangy basically bodied a puck in practically skating it into the net. Classic Flames goal, they all count...
Didn't occur to either Dunn or the goalie that leaving a Flame with the puck in your crease and an open net was probably a bad idea.
Kraken were panicking the entire 3rd period and were #### in OT.
My take away watching these two teams is not much to see.
Quote:
I hate being an Oiler fan! Get ready for another decade of darkness.
Quote:
This whole squad is full of gutless losers and cowards
Quote:
I hate this team right now, and it's steadily moving towards contempt.
What was even the point of the coaching change? Kris is essentially a carbon-copy of Woody.
Quote:
Good thing there's a new coach
Quote:
Teams figured out the blueprint to beat the Oilers:
1) Wait for the Oilers to beat themselves
2) Profit
Quote:
Holland hitched his wagon to Nurse and Campbell while also drafting incredibly poorly and signing a bunch of 30+ year olds to long term deals so he has no assets of any worth outside of the 2024 1st which could, granted, be worth a fair amount. They might need to use that just to dump Campbell's contract then what do you have? Broberg, Holloway, Bourgault, 2025 1st. These assets are virtually worthless, maybe the 2025 1st can fetch you something decent by not anybody that really moves the needle.
The Oilers are married to this roster, for worse or even worse. There is no getting out of this hell at this point no matter what cap gymnastics the next GM pulls so if Drai wants out, you accomodate the request and reset.
Quote:
I have it on good authority that Katz is calling the shots, just as I always suspected, so it really doesn’t matter who the puppets are….we are always going to be at the mercy of the puppeteer. These are our Ballard years. Will we live long enough or care long enough to see a new beginning?
Quote:
There are so many problems with this roster but I'm so over McDavid and his miserable "who cares if I scored" look even after scoring. He scores that first goal and he can't even raise his arms a bit. Not even a smile. The the high fives to the team and I don't think he could of done that in a more depressing way if he tried. He clearly didn't even look at his team mates, its uncomfortable to even watch at this point how bad his body language is. I can't imagine being a teammate of McDavid is easy right now, and that's a big problem if your the captain.

Just jumping in to say that Locke was calling for huberdeau's benching tonight in favour of Ruzicka, after 3 points in the last two games. Now we're at 5 points in 3 games.
Caught the full highlights, looks like Vladar had a couple real stinkers but was also the reason it was even close going into the third. Just some brutal defending overall. Need to polish that up.

That ATL from Oiler fans has to be the most annoyed, frusterating, worried and salty i've ever seen. It is beautiful.
This season, despite being under .500 still has been so enjoyable for me due to the combination of the Oilers being horrible and the two Flame "anchor" contracts starting to put consistent quality efforts together.

They traded him because he was UFA at the end of this season and wanted a retirement contract.
Are you saying they should have given Toffoli that contract? Or are you saying they should have walked him to free agency and lost him for nothing?
Neither? Don't give stupid retirement contracts out, don't walk your trade chips to free agency, and don't trade them for junk just because you can. Hated that trade the moment it was announced, one of those Jay Feaster trades where the team technically got younger and people lapped it up at first, but wasn't long before it became clear that they threw away a valuable asset to acquire magic beans.
One thing that still drives me crazy on the PP....when Andersson and Lindholm just pass back and forth on the RH side and Huberdeau is doing nothing over on the left.
Andersson did it last year with Toffoli too.
He needs to open up his body more to make sure he isn't defaulting to the RH side more which is more natural for him. And use the LH side more.
Lindholm was fire tonight. I get frustrated with him, but he's kind of trustable in his statistics of doing the right thing up and down the ice.

Opportunity cost wasted.
I see.
So you're not actually bitching about Toffoli being off the team, despite what you said. You're bitching that Conroy didn't make a trade that wasn't there to be made.
