Toffoli on the other hand….bad Backlund was fantastic actually. Even that shift after the goal, it wasn't just him that stopped playing for some reason but his entire line. Toffoli really kills our PP. He is just a one trick pony who has very poor vision of the ice. He really shouldn't be on the top unit. When he has time, he rushes it. When he doesn't have time, he hangs onto the puck too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taz89 Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Even though Markstrom came back in a big way after the 1st period, i still dont think he deserves the next start, he just doesn't, period. He cost us the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly just Backlund on that previouys shift. I was yelling (insode) at the TV. A good cycle and Mange/Coleman looking for loose pucks. Barely touched the puck. Avoided the hard areas. I though, maybe he's hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once we kept McDavid to the outside. We even got a fluke goal. And it still wasn't enough. they limited chances and did a better job on McDavid but their puck management throughly the neutral zone was sloppy and once In the o zone I don’t think they generated much quality. Their game was really lacking pace and urgency tonight. they seemed more comfortable playing a boring road game and not just trying to get in on the oilers and win with a forecheck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Again Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Horrible start, walking on eggshells, no confidence, no authority, watching pucks instead of playing the hard smart system. Gotta hand it to Tanev, we are better even when he plays with one arm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that 1st goal against... it put us behind and we were chasing all game. It was the worst feeling... and maybe the guys did tire out by the final 5 minutes of the game as a result of that.

89Again Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 I don’t think the Oil have been that good, Flames have been really bad. I’m amazed when they played so well vs Dallas and had so much confidence after game one. What on earth happened?? Drinking water at the hotel?, Lack of Oxygen- really weird .

Same time though they got a gift given right back to them. I don’t really think they stopped skating. That’s the level of urgency they had most of the night save for a few moments here and there.

travel_dude Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Just win in Calgary and get some confidence back. Two tie games where some poor play costs the GWG. Even if we just tied, we had all the momentum and a goalie who lost his mojo. No killer instinct. But worse than that, no 20 minute compete when we had momentum. It ain't over, just need another first period like in game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly not ready to come back but he stabilized Kylington who played a much more confident game. He gets paired with Stone and instantly gives up the GWG.

Same team!..minus Tanev! j The Oilers have 100% exposed the Flames, I’ll give Woodcroft credit , he’s very clearly and finally has the Coilers playing a detailed game at both ends. They’ve exploited Flames too often and have capitalized on those opportunities. Markstrom has been very bad but he’s playing behind a team getting outplayed and quite frankly out coached at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blah blah the team didnt play well in front of him but the truth is, he needs to make those game winning saves and he's not. Yes he cost us the series.

Real downside of running 7 D Keps you from running the 4th line too long. Oops, that didn't help. They played 10 and 12 minutes. Unfortunately, they have been on for far too many goals against. Stone with Klington caused a bit of a mixup perhaps. Kylington played better when with Tanev. He lost the battle with Nige of all people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 I don’t understand the rationale of people telling someone else “it’s over”. cool believe what you want but if others want to believe let them and who cares. Keep that crap to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
