GDT: Game #25 - Oilers@Golden Knights - 8PM MT - Take the houses money

[TheNumber4]

The first 13 were actually pretty good. Then stu shitter happened.

We really didn’t generate anything. Was a slow deliberate start by both teams.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

lol now Keith bringing up fancies after slamming them all last week.

Gotta love it.

Slamming them? I said they have their place but aren't some sort of Bible.

In this case the eye test matches the fancies. If they were crushing Vegas and they were getting a bunch of saves then fine but they generated zippo.

 

[TheNumber4]

It’s not just this game though. People are fooling themselves if they think players haven’t noticed that he’s been a junk goalie this season (and inconsistent otherwise)

The coach is “trying to get Skinny going” and is protecting him by saying positive hogwash. They must know he sucks too

Of course they noticed. Knob called it out. How much that actually affects their play, debatable.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Colorado scored first that game too. We still put up a fight.

Skinner made big saves and that allowed the Oilers to have some confidence and take over the game. Doesn’t happen enough.

Barbashev is gonna own us forever. Traded for using scam LTiR space combined with being taken with an Oilers draft pick has given him permanent superpowers against us.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

So looking at the 50/50 ad on Sportsnet and anyone find it odd they use images of the 25 year old bills as the prize?

 

[JeffSkinner53]

You can tell Connor genuinely loved Ben. Wasn't just a publicity stunt.

You only like fancy stats when they backup what you want them to.

Colorado has looked at 5 goalies this season so far... Oilers sticking firm with 2.

Imma guess that Colorado lets in less goals this year than Oilers when all is said and done.

Yeh that or we just started playing and pucks went in. If this team adjusts its performance on its fees fees for its goaltending we deserve to lose.

And that doesn't explain the time prior to the 1-0 goal where they just sorta skated around like they were in practice.

I bet Wedgewood gives them better goaltending than Skinner.

 

[Letsdothis]

Comeback starts now. 4-1 good guys will be the final score, just watch.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

That's not what the fancies say. Zero HDSC and a paltry .15 xgf

You talking about fancies when they suit your argument isn’t a great look after last week.

Yeh unless we assume that after .960 performance the team is still too afraid to play in front of Stu.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Must be deflating as a team when your goalie can't make a timely save. You'd never call him out in the media obviously but man that's gotta be frustrating.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

They do. They added one much too late. I wanna say 2 years ago?

Is his name Justin Quartz?

There are a lot of journeymen goalies who move every year and can tread water. That's all we needed.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Lots of zone time but they didn’t really do anything. Vegas didn’t really give up much. We gave up the lone high danger situation and low and behold it’s 1-0.

Vegas defends well. Getting sticks into lanes. Big zone time shift stunted on a needless soft play and Vegas is off to the races the other way. That said I felt they played a solid road period up to the goal and momentum flipped. Can't go down 2.

Someone else. I was pissed to find out we didn’t have one previous to the Campbell signing.

 

[Sanchez]

Maybe the refs will call a penalty on Gary's team......maybe

You can’t play your game if you can’t allow any chances on net. It’s simple.

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

Skinner has the consistency of a girl on Tinder

You mean he has a gaping hole between his legs?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

You talking about fancies when they suit your argument isn’t a great look after last week.

As I already explained, you need to take the eye test and the fancies into account. The Oilers generated about as much as the fancies said they did: Nothing.

Vegas targeted McDavid and rightly so.

 

[oobga]

Louie is looking ozempic’d

 

[JeffSkinner53]

On that replay where was the high sticking call on Theodore. So annoying
