GDT: DIG IN! RIGHT NOW! Mantra of the 24-25 Season starts today! Oilers v Jets, 8 PM

[oobga]

Skinner in the defensive zone isn't something to look forward to game by game, eugh

2 Skinners in our zone at the same time ...

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

High danger chances were 7-4 Oilers before I fired this game into the sun.

Not all “high danger” chances are equal

 

[Missing smitty]

Skinner is the Brock Purdy of goaltenders. Game manager that can never lead his team to success, but thrive on a systems team

Kid would look incredible on a trap team

 

[TheNumber4]

Fourteen years in the NHL as small, waterbug type player takes its toll. It's not uncommon for people to see declines in peak physical shape at the age of 30, happens all the time in the NHL.

All it takes is losing that millisecond or two and for a player like that it can make a big impact.

When has nuge ever been a waterbug type player?

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Oofffff. Pain.

 

[On The Prowl]

This game is over, we arent getting 6 goals against a team the plays hard defense with a goalie like Hellebucyk.

 

[Cloned]

Be nice if RNH could actually aim for the open part of the net.

 

[MoontoScott]

Credit to Pod who looks like the one Oiler forward who really showed up to play.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Not all “high danger” chances are equal

Agreed,

A high scoring chance by Draisaitl on a one timer is much higher than anything the Jets have done besides the breakaway.

Scoring chances don’t matter if the shots are muffins directed straight into the goalie’s chest.

Hey Bleatbloop! Good to see your new account.

It was over at 2-0

 

[Oilhawks]

Skinner, defense, forwards couldn’t get a puck in the ocean tonight

The whole team sucks right now, not worth arguing over which pile of shit has been bigger

 

[yukoner88]

Betway sounds way too close to Bettman

 

[dylagierda]

Waterbug as in he plays a perimeter kind of bouncing around game.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Way too many betting ads

He's had himself a good game. Can see why coaches like him. Such low skill for a Russian though.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Hey Bleatbloop! Good to see your new account.

"I watched the Blues games tonight and made an account after years of lurking specifically to mention how angry I am at this management group. Broberg was the Blues best defenceman tonight. He has a confidence in his game that our group failed to help instill in him. He is playing on his proper..."

This guy really couldnt make it much more obvious could he.

If anything though, his game style should withstand aging better than a power physical forward reliant on physical tools.

Waterbug is more of a term for someone that twirls in and out of tight traffic. But whatever.

 

[BeanBurrito]

It appears we aren't digging in

 

[Oilhawks]

The Oilers tonight:

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Agreed,

A high scoring chance by Draisaitl on a one timer is much higher than anything the Jets have done besides the breakaway.

Oilers have given up a minimum 5 goals per game since the beginning of pre-season with 3 different goalies but yes, always the goalie fault

 

[MoontoScott]

Ya, no Ovechkin for sure.
