GDT: Game #14: Golden Knights @ Oilers: 6:30 PM - Sportsnet

[Mez]

Maybe Skinner doesnt make his first playoff appearance after all.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

If Skinner is team Canada's goalie in the Olympics. We might not win a game lol.

His performance so far has thoroughly removed him from consideration. Barring some sort of miracle.

 

[ConnorNova0929]

Adin Hill always looks like Shesterkin against us though. He beats his meat to the thought of starting against us.

It's not just Hill. Jake Allen just shut this team out lol. Merzlekin looked like Shesterkin too. These are average goalies.

The Oil can't score and need their own goalie to give up fewer than 2 goals to have any chance at a win.

 

[MoontoScott]

Always fun watching Eichel run our show. FFS.

Casper had another rough night. He really needs to sit for a few games.

Mcdavid under a ppg

Had no business playing tonight. Doesn’t look healed, had no impact on the ice and the team wasn’t ready to play so there was no lift from getting the captain back.

Time to ask questions about McDavid. Is he truly healthy?

 

[centipede2233]

I’m curious, would oiler fans be comfortable with mcdavid at a 16 mil caphit on his next contract?

 

[McJadeddog]

Skinner was the only reason the PK gave up a goal.

Yeah that was just a TERRIBLE goal to give up. Just pathetic. Start Pickard for foreseeable future

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Right now he has to play perfect for us to win because we don’t score goals.

Clocking in at just under 2 GF/G at home. That’s pathetic.

 

[Echodek]

Maybe the Spruce Grove Saints are willing to take a chance on Skinner.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

1 yr contract means he's seeing playoff action regardless of how this team finishes.

 

[nexttothemoon]

This is just not a very impressive team. What was supposed to be their strength has become a weakness.

I was sure they'd regress offensively with the roster they had... but I didn't think San Jose would be better offensively than them.

[Thomas Tatar]

I don’t even get mad when they lose anymore.

The team looks lost out there a lot of nights.

Little passion. Even less hitting.

Knob already looking a little nervous. He knows this team looks like garbage and I don’t think he has an answer (not saying this is his fault)

But losses like that can be real daggers in a lot of ways. Especially for a team with such high expectations

I endorse this comment.

You gotta go Binnington, Montembault, and then Adin Hill I would think.

Talbot is better than Skinner flat out.

So many defensive errors. Guys skating across the blue line unchecked and uninhibited.

Who missed their backcheck on the Eichel goal?

 

[YakDavid]

Even if you exclude tonight this has been some of the worst hockey of McDavids career. Add on top pretty much every player can’t score it’s concerning.

The fact our 5 or 6th defensemen was the one with the tip goal shows all our struggles.

Bouchard can’t do anything right at the moment.

 

[Throttlehead]

People will blame Skinner but we are coming off being shutout only scored any goals because of a miracle bounce and Brett freaking Kulak tipping a puck. Yes you read that right.

Brett freaking Kulak played a good game tonight. Skinner should have had 2 of those 3 goals, and the one Stone missed was pathetic. Skinner cannot move from side to side with any speed, cannot read a play. The experiment should be over, he's not getting better and we need to move on.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

How about Ekholm getting owned by Barbashev on the game winner?

Ekholm makes 8/10 plays right. He is a massive net positive. It was that dumbass Arvidsson who started the giveaway.

All I seen was 4 oilers on one side of the ice and an open Hanifin lol. Then a Skinner out of position way out

Game was decided by two Evan Bouchard disasterclasses.

You don’t win if you don’t score goals. Doesn’t matter what your goalie does. In fact there is no goalie in the nhl that could drag this team to a winning record right now.

Yeah we have to move on from Skinner. He isn't the goalie to win with. It's crazy that the team thishadn't realized this yet

Was he even in consideration? Are they on Drugs. lol

It would have to be a Kevin Lowe situation where he stuck Brewer on team Canada.

 

[MoontoScott]

He seems to have regressed in terms of his defensive game.

Shots not getting through on the PP too.

 

[McJadeddog]

Maybe Skinner doesnt make his first playoff appearance after all.

Starting to look that way, that is for certain

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Nope, but he will get it if he wants. I wasn;t even comfortable with Drai at 14. It is what it is. I personally do not see us making another finals if we don't this year. Too many guys getting up there and no desire to upgrade goaltending
