Doughty is probably sitting at home wondering how the hell he lost to Skinner twice.
This is the fraud that is Vinny. He's actually always been soft and not very physical, outside of occasionally clearing the front of the net. He's too slow and terrible to break a cycle and just tries to hold people behind the net lightly.He's never actually been a physical menace. He's a huge 6'7 dman that doesn't make life difficult for the opposition, and is too slow and terrible to have good stick checking.
This is sarcasm?No huge decision at all actually
Skinner in (lots of horrible defensive play in front of him), he got us here and he will carry us forward.
And
Can more than 5 skaters show up please?
In fairness he'd have 3 assists if his passes were finished. Made beauties to several players including Nuge who hit post on a wide open net from 10 ft out. Yes that was Mcleod with the primary if Nuge doesn't completely botch it. Others like Connor Brown or Perry have blown every chance always and Foegele is sleeping beauty in playoffs as per usual only handing the opponents pucks.I know we’re all happy that McLeod can play defensive hockey but my god we need him to piss a drop of offence from him and that line.
He’s not tough or physical either so he really doesn’t do much as a 3rd line C.
8 games played 0-0-0 and a -2
Gregor is Wetaskwin’s answer for Ron McLean. Someone with a pulpit that knows nothing. I love how Frank S consistently dunks on his idiotic takes. Frank probably blows him up once every pod episode. I actually suspect it’s a schtick. No one can be that uninformed and have a paid platform to spew it.Gregor thinks he’s getting 2.5 - 3M x 3 or 4. Seravalli destroyed him for that take. Give him 1.5. Where is a slow 28 year old rookie dman gonna go for more money when hes struggling on the bottom pair of a poorly defensive team. Sigh, no loilty from these slugs
what’s the time stamp for when he starts talking about Skinner?If you haven’t had a chance to listen to Servalli on Stauffer’s show today- I recommend you doing so. It was excellent. Great take on Skinner and Schwartz. I’m
What scares me about this series is the manner in which we're losing games and lack of response Vans physicality and gamesmanship. Losing game 1 after 3 goal lead deflated momentum and our best player is eating cross. Our toughest guy is getting dumped head first onto the bench and just smiling. There's no fight and desire. This teams gotta nut up and impose their will. Vans got the lead because they want it more.
I don't think the more physical teams are necessarily going to go the furthest. This team is scared of two things: 1) retaliating and taking a penalty (it's been proven that they will get slapped by the refs for that each year) 2) getting no saves from their goaltender
They can lose their cool next game and quickly be down 3-1 after they get wrecked with a million penalties
What they need to do is do what they did vs LA, which wasn't quite turning the cheek but it was picking spots, and pray Pickard isn't another Cloutier.
Fair, I think a response needs to be measured, however I am not so sure the refs are going to pile on with calls if the Oilers return the physicality/gamesmanship next game. It's their M.O to manage games and series. I feel like after all the soft calls against Edmonton last game, i.e the Nurse crosscheck lol; it would only be predictable they let the Oilers get away with a little. That cross check to McDavid was disrespectful, there absolutely has to be an answer. No self respecting team with real aspiration at the cup will let that go unanswered and I think as dumb as the officials are, they understand that.
The whole first segment that he is on is about Skinner. If you go to the the Oilers Now podcast- just go to Frank Servalli pt 1.what’s the time stamp for when he starts talking about Skinner?
Lol it was the Oilers fault. They were too good so Skinner fell asleepIt's never his fault. When he's bad the defense either didn't help him, or helped him so much he couldn't get into the game.

That isn’t Nurse’s Game anymore.Knoblauch should quietly send Nurse after him in the first period.
I have a feeling it will be some sort of lame staged fight or something. Which IMO doesn't mean a whole lot, but some will feel better about it
Kind of an excuse but I feel like Kane would deal with it (outside of a fight) but is playing injured. Otherwise maybe Carrick or Gagner (!) but neither will draw in. Desharnais and Nurse are both too soft at the moment. Ekholm could end up doing something, but he really, really shouldn't
Can you provide a quick summary, especially on Schwartz? I never have time to listen to these shows anymore.If you haven’t had a chance to listen to Servalli on Stauffer’s show today- I recommend you doing so. It was excellent. Great take on Skinner and Schwartz. I’m
Gregor's take on Vinny's next contract wasn't necessarily about what he "should" get as an AAV, but what he "will" get because NHL GMs always overpay UFA Ds with size. Is Vinny so different from Justin Holl? Holl signed a $3.4M AAV x 3 years last summer when he was clearly a bottom pairing guy.
