PureQuickness Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take - Quinn Hughes, probably. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Desharnais is a piece of crap Miller had lots of time at the end to take a shot, maybe get a goal himself, really stick it to EDM after that cheap shot by Desharnais. But Miller just kept the puck to himself, for like 30 seconds, and ran out the clock. Why didn't he shoot or pass to team mates so they could shoot?

Jester13 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Edmonton better work on their pk this year, because we're going to skate circles around their plugs and draw a lot of penalties this year from their goons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 When he says he's not just looking for point shots and wants to get inside tells me he's going to tally plenty of goals this year! He's got either four or five team-mates, (regular strength or power-play), to pick-up on this and help plow the road "as it were" . End result? Mega season for the leader........... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running out the clock wasn't a bad idea at that point. Take the win and go. 2 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngould21 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I'm loving the fact that the Coilers have Darnell Nurse under contract at $9.5M, ouch! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Erne guy is a punk (Desharnais too) The league better look at that. If Bertuzzi can be crucified for a gloved punch during game play, this BS after the whistle has NO place in the game. Deshart/Bert and Ernie need to be addressed. Oilers are a bunch of goofs...they're all nurses now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seventy7 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Couple thoughts… I like the group, but we need more forward grit in place of Beauvillier, Garland, Podkolzin, Hoglander and a veteran RD for Huggy. All due respect to McWard, but the penalties and inexperience will kill this team over the long term of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngould21 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I'm a Canuck fan through and through, but a huge part of me wants to see Brandon Sutter win a spot in the NHL, whether its the Coilers or another team. He looks fully recovered, and would look good on this Canuck roster too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikheyev brings speed and grit. Kuzmenko brings an elite shot. Boeser is now bringing assists. PDG brings size, a good screen and grit. What does Garland, Beauvillier, Hoglander or Podkolzin bring? Sadly been disappointed with Hoglander and Podkolzin, but they're competing against Garland and Beauvillier who don't bring much to the table anyway. At least Garland plays with heart and a bit of grit but Beauvillier really is quite average. I'm surprised we haven't tried Cole and Hughes together, if Cole can play well on the right (which he's proven in his career that he can do) then he's the perfect rugged defencemen for Hughes. McWard on our top pairing is a big ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find we have too many of the same type of players. We need players with sandpaper and Sutter has never been that despite his size.

I am concerned that we won't be able to push back if they go after our smaller players. I know some have said Dakota Joshua but he has never struck me as someone who plays that role. I am worried teams will take advantage of the team being on the smaller side. Oilers were all sort of laughing at the team at the end.

Thing is, this is where the league's supposed to have it covered. It's one thing to be able to take a good solid hit or even fight. But this dirty stuff has no business in hockey anymore and retaliating never gets us anywhere except suspended. The Oilers are complete trash, that's become obvious. They're Mcdirty as can be yet the biggest whiners when they're penalized (Bouchard, Nurse). They cry. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's preseason and we don't either but they'd better not get ahead of themselves. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he will be in one of the last two games. I hope he just plays with urgency. He's letting slip with his passive play. I really think Podz could be a great player. It's weird how he struggles with the mental aspect of the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
