Post-Game Talk: An official loss

[oilers4life5]

Coaching in a issue

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Also I can’t believe I woke up early at 1 pm for this.

Let the kings have their cup win, they just barely beat us despite having the officials in their pocket the whole game.

 

[Stoneman89]

If Bouchard continues to play like this, he isn't going to be worth much more than 5 mill per season. That doesn't mean that's what he'll get, but that's about what he'll be worth.

 

[Canovin]

This game will be the reason the Oilers faces the Kings again in the playoffs and eliminate them for the fourth straight time

 

[CycloneSweep]

Jeff Skinner was rightfully benched at the end of the game and will likely sit tomorrow.

They need to identify a 4th line center to replace Ryan and talk to Jeff Skinner's agent about finding him a new team.

Jeff Skinner should be in Europe

 

[LevelingSolo]

Well that’s as much as a Kings loss you can draw up

 

[Oilhawks]

I'm starting to think you don't like Skinner--just a feeling I guess.

I’d like him as a backup, hell, even as a 1B. He’s too inconsistent, and unathletic to be a starter in this day’s league

 

[CROTT]

Why didn't Stu shake off his mask?
This could have gone either way. Shake it off and go on

Because thats a penalty to for a goalie to take his mask off intentionally. The rule below the Kings had the puck.

The NHL rulebook covers helmets in 9.6:

When a goalkeeper has lost his helmet and/or face mask and his team has control of the puck, play shall be stopped immediately to allow the goalkeeper the opportunity to regain his helmet and/or face mask. When the opposing team has control of the puck, play shall only be stopped if there is no immediate and impending scoring opportunity.

When a goalkeeper deliberately removes his helmet and/or face mask in order to secure a stoppage of play, the Referee shall stop play as outlined above and assess the goalkeeper a minor penalty for delay of game. If the goalkeeper deliberately removes his helmet and/or face mask when the opposing team is on a breakaway, during the course of a penalty shot or shootout attempt, the Referee shall stop play and award a goal to the non-offending team.

We replaced Holloway and Foegele with Arvidsson and Skinner

45 points vs 20 points
6.25 mill vs 7mill

Bad off season in retrospect.

I was a defender, but Jeff Skinner was just a total miss. Forget just being poor defensively he flat out can't play.

Arvidsson is still better than Foegele and will show that before the end.

Yeah it’s not going to work. You can blame Knob or you can blame Skinner. You can blame Jackson. You can blame it on the rain. But it’s not going to work. Let’s clear the poor guy somewhere he can battle for next years contract and accrue some cap space by calling up Philp to see how someone a little bigger, younger and faster can do at 4C.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Should have one that game, garbage officials or no. That Kings team is largely unimpressive.

 

[MoontoScott]

I just can’t with Skinner at this point, now he’s too dumb to shake his mask off. And then whine when the game is over.

Mc-D went and got him. You could tell the Captain was kind of rolling his eyes.

Could the Oilers have challenged that play?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Ironic the guy who makes the dumbest proposals imaginable with zero thought for one team involved in his stupid proposals would waste the time making this idiotic post.

I can explain more of this if you need, you seem confused about a lot of this as well. It's ok guys, some of just know alot less and I feel for you guys are your ignorance

 

[Oilhawks]

They’re a bad team, again

 

[stewy04]

Sorry better way to put it is that Foegele is a game changer and refs love him lol

 

[MoontoScott]

In the off-season the Oilers spent their dough on secondary scoring (insert joke here) but made no attempt at bringing in a 3rd goalie.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Solid 0.862 3.81gaa

Oilers probably salivating at throwing 5 mill Stu's way lol

 

[Frank the Tank]

Yes, Philp deserves another look. Ideally they acquire a big right-shot center, like McCarron, before the deadline.

 

[Soundwave]

Jeff Skinner should have signed in Toronto or Florida where he would have been given a shot to score some goals, Knob has no interest in that here, let that be a cautious lesson to UFA wingers who think they'll come here and get McGoals, you're not going to get looks with McDavid.

 

[Echodek]

Can’t afford to lose that game and still have aspirations of winning the division.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Foegele with a 3 pt night, good for him.
I'd like to see a W against the Ducks tomorrow, thanks.

Get a win tomorrow all is good. 3/4 points

 

[Drivesaitl]

Byfield taking classes from Kempe on how to gloat after a goal then get the shit kicked out of him in the playoffs.

Yeah. Kinda sorta very dumb. Don't rub noses in it. Kind of strange too from Byfield who has had nothing most of the season. But here comes slumpbuster Skinner in net.

Kings atrocious at scoring goals, somehow score 4 on around 5 chances. Not my fault still complaining until McD comes over and tell him to shut up.

 

[BlackDogg]

Cue the Skinner sympathizers, saying it’s not his fault.

He only made two less hard saves this time.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Can’t afford to lose that game and still have aspirations of winning the division.

The dream is toast. They’re not going to catch Vegas without another lengthy winning streak.

Management for this team can f*** off.

 

[Shanahanigans]

This team won’t sniff at a cup if Henrique is 3C. -4 tonight, routinely gets demolished at evens. Him and Skinner are worse than useless out there , they actively hurt the team.
