Post-Game Talk: Drai speedruns Duck Hunt

[OilerTyler]

I'm not sure what ya'll are complaining about. Skinner had a .931 lol

Yeah the 2nd goal wasn't great but he played well overall

That's how HFOil rolls. When Skinner is playing bad people post his save percentage ad nauseam without any context. When he has a good save percentage suddenly the context matters and it always makes him look worse than the stats show to their eye.

 

[TB12]

Scoring chances tonight 30 to 18, with high danger chances being 13 to 6. Both big numbers Edmonton.

Skinner is the second best goaltender again tonight by a mile, and had a decidedly below average night. He made this ducks team look dangerous and that's not good.

Get a f***ing goalie.

Incoming Moustache fans screaming ".931!" at you for the rest of the evening. As if the Oil didn't just dominate chances and HDCA.

Yet again, second best goalie on the night. Good thing we have a generational superstar to salt it away.

When you’re getting outshot and only have 2 goals against the ducks in the third it’s not a good effort. They stopped playing when they were up back to back weekends against this talentless trash team.

Are you trying to imply that Skinner looked calm and solid tonight?

I mean did anyone? They got worked especially in the third period. Way too much overpassing and fancy plays.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Oilers were persistent in attacking the Ducks man to man defense. Dostal once again made great saves to prevent the Oilers going up 3-0.

This time the Oilers deservedly break through late to grab the two points.

 

[TheNumber4]

His 2nd 3-2 win on the season woooo he should be proud

1 goal game we talking about. Not 3-2. And I feel like your stat is wrong, but I’ll look it up later, EN goal games should count as 1 goal games too.’

 

[OfCorsiDid]

PLAY LA BAMBA

 

[iCanada]

Someone find the stats. I’d be floored if we didn’t have the least empty net goals.

Tied for second last.

[VeteranPresence]

True fans of the team don't think goaltending is fine and dandy. The hardcore ones who want to see a cup

Some folks would rather have Skinner to cheer for than a Cup, sad but true.

 

[oXo Cube]

Thought Jeff Skinner had a noticeably strong game,

Gotta be the worst team in the league at scoring empty net goals.

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

Brutal game from McDavid tonight. I don’t think he could be bribed to shoot the puck with a zillion dollars, eternal life, and a night with prime Christie Brinkley.

 

[Oilslick941611]

It’s a passionate die hard fan base and this was way more stressful of a game than it needed to be.

its not passion. its stupidity and mental illness to immediately jump to the worst conclusions and say some of the shit people said in the GDT. Its almost like people are cheering for Skinner to give up goals rather than make saves.

Theres nothing wrong with expecting better, but dude had a .931% and people are ripping on him. I expect more of McDavid and he was trash all night and making poor IQ hockey plays and passing off scoring looks. see the difference in criticisms?

Not surprising. I guarantee we have more empty net situations than those teams also because we win more.

Skinner .931 and Dostal .885

Numbers prove Ducks had the worse goalies. Only idiots think otherwise. Can’t argue with the numbers

Two generational superstars.

 

[McFlash97]

Skinner needs to be jettisoned into the sun. Both of them. Once again Leon comes through. Not good enough from the rest of the team.

 

[McAsuno]

But but but he’s a McDavid and PP merchant apparently. Put respect on Draisaitl’s f***ing name. MVP MVP MVP.

 

[TheNumber4]

And yeh just to reiterate.

If there’s anyone built to have a Jagr like longevity career. It’s gotta be Drai no?

They are both built like tanks and protect the puck like animals.

San Jose has them beat.

That's ridiculous. Don't be stupid. Skinner remains a 26 year old goalie making under 3M dollars and you guys expect a 10M Vezina performance out of him or he sucks.

Oilers gave up 3 breakaways, Ducks 0

not all HD chances are created equal

No argument there... just wondering if some here think Skinner was great tonight .. McDavid deserved the end of his point streak after his play in first 2 periods
