GDT: Feb 27: Oilers versus Bruins @ 6:30 pm local time

[CupofOil]

They're going to waste another stellar effort from the captain again, aren't they?

 

[Stoneman89]

Skinner= Good backup goalie.
Campbell= Should be in the minors
Oilers= 2 backup goalies.

One is being paid 5 million/year, and the other is an "All-star."

 

[NedPlimpton]

Stop it Cassie. McDavid is not motivated by anything Mathew has done

They always gotta bring it back to that f***ing guy, huh? It's enough already.

 

[TGOSnipes99]

Just a ridiculous notion. Matthews is about 500 tiers behind McDavid as a player and it's a stretch to claim he does anything better at this point.

And they are going to pay that guy like 14 mill probably lol. It will just push McDavid's salary higher. Matthews has a large ego on him. He is always about money #1

Nobody else will step up on this team. That’s why Boston is the best and we are roadkill.

 

[CupofOil]

Stop me if you’ve heard this before.

The Oilers need 2 top 4 D and a goaltender.

2 Top 4 D, a #1 goalie, a legit #3C and a top 6 RW. Like clockwork, every year for how many decades now?

 

[Drivesaitl]

I'm happy with the effort, but our goaltending is just incapable of helping out. Expect us to keep the fight but lose by a goal after another superlative p erformance by mcd

During Smith tenure we had him elevating in money time. Seems like we got nobody like that now.

 

[PaPaDee]

Yep. They’re a nothing team, propped up by the best player in the world.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Didn’t realize I had traveled back to 2019.

You could say this ever year since 2007 actually.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Bring Roli out of retirement

 

[McDrai]

Holland, please get McDavid help

Don’t worry bro, Kenny is on it. And by on it I mean Evander should be back by the deadline

 

[GMofOilers]

I was shocked they even went with Skinner tonight.

Hes got 3 wins since Jan 1st, and only has 4 wins this year against playoff teams

 

[Stoneman89]

Connor clearly pissed and not interested in talking stats with Gene in that interview.

Well the team's gotta play better defence, including Connor, for McDavid to have a happier demeanor. Go out and shut the Bruins down in the 3rd. Oh and McDavid get a hatty for the GWG.

I don't know what's wrong with these interviewers. It's a known fact Connor doesn't really care to talk about his own accomplishments, and in a massive game, in which his goalie just gave up another stinker, he just wants to talk about what it will take to win.

 

[gordonhught]

Just for laughs,

Nurse ?
Ekholm Ceci
Kulak Barrie
Broberg Bouchard VD

Is a fine defense. The problem is that top RHD spot.

Does Justin Braun have enough left for the year?

Both goalies have been crap lately.

 

[CupofOil]

Smith had that Big D energy and the mental toughness. Skinner is too young/inexperienced and Campbell is a mental disaster.

 

[McDrai]

Meanwhile Campbell has been pulled in his last 4 starts or so. It’s like picking between a shit sandwich and a puke sandwich

Cassie can f*** right off back to her pasture.

 

[Mr Positive]

It's funny how fans think Woodcroft is the problem. Please tell me a structure you'd play with this roster. It's Owner > GM > Location > Coach when it comes problems. Ceci is playing as a 2 and Barrie is playing heavy minutes in a top 4 role. Broberg looks like a potential stud and Bouchard is good in a specific role. Kulak, Barrie and Ceci should not make up 3/4 top 4D.

I agree. That isn't just a ranking. It's a sequence. We can't know if the coach is the problem until the holes in the roster are solved.

 

[McXLNC97]

Bench Yamo for the 3rd....absolutely useless out there tonight.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Disagree with the first bit. But yeah our centres have bad defensive positioning. McDavid and Draisaitl are particularly lacking when they're on the ice together.

You have the game recording I take it. Watch every goal against and it's the same thing every goal.

Right before the third goal Draisaitl was covering the slot and was doing an excellent job. A few seconds later the pucks in the net. Now who is playing center. I want the center playing center.

Just like the second goal with McDavid and Nurse getting their reads wong. All the comments are blaming Draisaitl for not taking Foligno. Foligno is McDavid's man. Nurse should have stepped up. Draisaitl is responsible for the trailer. No goal if played correctly.

 

[Stoneman89]

Gawd, she is annoying.

Woodcroft is but one problem. He’s an average coach. This team deserves the best. Not average.

They scored 18 goals in Campbell's last 4 starts and won none of them. Maybe that's why?

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Campbell is playing for Vegas tonight.
