Post-Game Talk: Drai speedruns Duck Hunt

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Fans generally will when said goalie is posting 1980s stats in 2025.

Blame the shit org that hasn’t drafted a starting goalie in 40 years.

 

[LTIR]

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

I like it.. McDavid should make less than Draisaitl..
13x8yrs or F off!!

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Savoie just got a goal in Bakersfield. That kid is cooking.

He's gonna be a hell of a player in Europe next year

 

[Ibanez]

I thought the 4th line was our best line by a lot, and Adam Henrique in particular.

Very nice night for them. I’d like to see if they can be consistent. Interesting vet line that has some skill

 

[SupremeTeam16]

We had three breakaways as well?



Depends which numbers you look at. Again - Dostal faced twice as many chances, with more of them being high quality. He should have a lower save percentage.

Dostal 0.34 GSAx
Skinner -0.32 GSAx

would you rather a .931 or a .885?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Seriously though, Nurse had a strong night, I really appreciate his level of play.

 

[Biltmore]

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.

Swap her out for a young Pamela Anderson and it's a deal!

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This is one thing I’d like to see is HDSC with quality of opposition factored in.

Derek Ryan or Draisaitl in the slot is a major difference in terms of a HDSC for example.

Does that include the numerous odd man rushes that we f***ed up?

 

[Senor Catface]

He's gonna be a hell of a player in Europe next year

 

[Cloned]

Alright alright alright.

We won, let’s stop arguing about goaltending for a night.

I’m guilty of it as well. I’ll stop for tonight.

 

[McBeastMode]

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

Boston has 0, Jets have 24...

 

[iCanada]

would you rather a .931 or a .885?

Are you seriously suggesting you think Skinner played better than Dostal tonight?

Seriously?!

 

[OilerTyler]

Fans generally will when said goalie is posting 1980s stats in 2025.

This is a weird take after a game where Skinner posted a 0.931.

How good would his stats have to be for you to be happy with his play?

 

[Drivesaitl]

Every single breakaway went by Skinner like a rented mule. Thank God the post saved the Oilers on all of them

So I wasn't the only one that noticed that Skins got beat on every breakaway. Sure they happen, Oilers had multiple as well. End of the day you need your goalie to stop some of them. Skinners posts stopped more breakaways than Skinner did. 1G zero stops, 2 posts. Charmed life.

On the breakaway goal allowed its a hot pressure back situation, guy can barely do anything with puck because back pressure coming. If Skinner even lays on the ice there across net its a stop. He gives up 5 hole on really what was a contested breakaway. Weaksauce.

 

[TheNumber4]

Holy Shit. Savoie makin me horny these days. Let’s goo

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

shocking that the Ducks goalie made some high danger saves. Thought they weren't supposed to do that! "Never his fault Skinner" certainly seems to think so.

Keep defending an average goalie while shitting on 2 of the best players on the planet. I'm enjoying the disconnect.

I will....unlike most around, I know he's an average goalie and getting paid like one

you, for some reason, think he should be Hellybuyck...dude gave up 2 goals tonight...in a 3-2 league, that will be enough to win most nights

 

[LTIR]

would you rather a .931 or a .885?

Would you rather take R.Strome or McDavid?

 

[Pip]

i think think it’s a problem to see McDavid with 0 shots on goal. The guy needs to shoot more regardless of the situation.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Are you seriously suggesting you think Skinner played better than Dostal tonight?

Seriously?!

Not sure who you're responding to but I can guess. Man, it wasn't even close. Oilers had so many fantastic chances. Ducks hardly had any and one of the breakaways was Harkens who never scores and he still rang it off the post.

 

[TB12]

It's sad how many people on here actually want Skinner (and the Oilers with him) to fail just so they can be "right". That's not what being a fan is.

Being a fan is wanting the Cup. Some of us just don't think Skinner is good enough to win a Cup with.

"But...but he got them to game 7". Ya and all it took was our superstars putting up videogame offensive numbers that haven't been seen since the 80's. It's hard to get blood from a stone and to ask more from our stars. I'd rather have at least a tandem guy to help Skinner out when he goes cold.

 

[Oilslick941611]

would you rather a .931 or a .885?

I bet they'd choose .885 so they can't keep whining and complaining about it.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Would you rather take R.Strome or McDavid?

I take your meaning, but that's not the choice, they aren't playing the Jets or the Rangers.

 

[MessierII]

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.

McDavid too in my option. Both base talents age well. Fast guys and skilled, strong guys who dominate along the boards.

 

[oobga]

He's gonna be a hell of a player in Europe next year

oh damn it, just checked his stats to see if you were joking

Lad made a lot of Oilers starting lineups by fans last summer. Maybe that was the peak of his career.

 

[TheNumber4]

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

Lol. No. That’s not what Stu support is AT ALL.

It’s all about the Cup. Period. Can’t believe anyone believes this shit.
