GDT: Game 17|Oilers Blackhawks|5:07 PM MST|SNET-OILERS

Great penalty timing Peckham...

[Horseradish]

Ugh, Peckham. TOOOOOOO SLOWWWWWWW. Stop trying to keep up with guys like Toews. Will ALWAYS result in penalties.

[ToeDrag83]

Not enough urgency in my opinion. They're probably pretty tired though

[oilers2k10]

I'm normally a huge hemsky supporter but he looks like he doesn't give a **** tonight

[tv14]

Peckham is hurting this team. Give aways, lack of speed, penalties all costing us several goals.

[awesomo]

so many trips

not enough calls

[GreatKeith]

Is it just me or are the Hawks playing defensive hockey?

[tv14]

Maybe its just me, but can we get a freaking call some time, the last couple of games has been bad.

I think you even missed his biggest weakness...he can't pass or skate the puck out of the zone...and it's been Chicago's game plan to key on that general weakness of the Oilers' back end. The only guys who can have looked bad tonight, precisely because Chicago's not giving them options: Petry, Potter and Gilbert have all made a bunch of giveaways because Chicago's forcing the puck to them and taking away their options.

[Doswell]

It seems that most players whose name starts with "P" have gone backwards this year, big time. But we did get Potter and Petrell.

[Boom4]

Renney u bum, why would u put Peckham out after that dumb penalty. BEnch him

[Horseradish]

Sticks ALL over Belanger as he tries to break in on goal...no call.

Clumped that into give aways since his bad passing and decision making lead to lots.

[Horseradish]

Really?? We need two goals in 3 minutes and Peckham's out there?

[OilerTyler]

Actually?

[Nunymare]

****ing helllll

[awesomo]

hahaa that was ugly

as kane blows by everyone

[GreatKeith]

Hall you gotta get on the ice quicker than that...

[tv14]

Ya, lets play 5-on-5 with no goalie, and when the puck starts to come down throw a guy out there. wtf.

I think they do more indirectly. He ALWAYS gives it to Petry or Potter and then those two have the opposition knowing it's coming to them, attack them, take away their options, and then THEY end up with the giveaway cuz their partner can't support them in any way moving forward.

Peckham and Petry need to be sent the **** down.

[Eytinge]

I thought Petry and Peckham could make a decent third pairing. I was wrong. Petry clearly needs more time in the AHL.

Oilers did nothing that third period. Frustrating to watch.

Petry's one of our 4 best d-men. And by a wide margin over some of our bottom pairing guys. He just needs to get more sheltered minutes while he's improving instead of being thrown into the fire like they are doing.

But Peckham needs to be moved anywhere but the ice.
