Caution, emotional post ahead.
Seriously? Letting in three goals on eight shots is totally ridiculous.
Not scoring on the power play is even more ridiculous. Okay, so Nash got a power play goal, I wrote that before.
Scoring your first goal on the 29th shot, is more ridiculous.
Losing to a team that played the night before, including their goaltender, makes me mad.
This team is killing me.
Why can’t we win?
This is a game we have to win. I don’t understand.
Until tonight we were 4-0 against Canadian teams.
The fourth goal the Oilers scored was the worst. Dustin Penner hopped on top of Leclaire, and Gilbert scored.
Penner then added the fifth goal for the Oilers. I can’t really be mad at him, he is one of my Cincinnati Ducks boys. He had been a healthy scratch the last couple of games, and his coach…well, his coach doesn’t really appreciate him.
“He’s not competitive enough or fit enough to help us, so why put him back in? He’s never been fit enough to help us,” said Oilers head coach Craig MacTavish. “We signed him to be a top-two line player and that’s kind of where it ended. The difference was we thought the contract was a starting point, and he’s viewed it as a finish line. “It’s been one thing after another. I can’t watch it for - certainly not another two and-a-half years.”
I know that Leclaire wasn’t at fault for all of the goals, but, he should have been pulled after the second, at least. Leclaire let in SEVEN goals on 19 shots.
This was Edmonton’s biggest output of the season, and as I wrote that, Lubomir Visnovsky scored the Oilers 7th goal of the night. I think Leclaire gave up.
This game better be used as a wake up call for this team. We should have capitalized on our chances, and we didn’t. We had 2 goals on 39 shots,
I don’t even know what to say.
More later, after I calm down.
