Pre-Game Talk: Game 3; The Stuart Skinner Shutout Show (with exciting new Pole!)

These guys usually aren’t always right but would they tweet this out of nowhere?

Yes. They have been horribly inaccurate

Off topic, but Ryan Rishaug is such a simpleton pos

After the Nurse slash, social media took it's turn and had varying opinions on the play. Obviously Stars fans and media wanting a Nurse suspension. And Oiler fans and media saying Hintz was acting a little, and the slash wasn't with such ill intent, hence the minor was the right call (whether or not they believe it is irrelevant, they stuck up for their player). Even Mark Spector is sticking up for Darnell

Then that pos that thinks he's a representative for the oiler fanbase, Ryan Rishaug, tweet "That's a penalty Nurse cannot take. Ill advised stick from a veteran player". What a Judas, Hintz was crosschecking Nurse's spine. He's the only Edmonton media member that didn't take Nurse's side
Ever since he publicized McDavid's injury in the 2023 playoffs, when the whole team was trying to hide it, just for likes on social media, he's a cockroach, fake fan, self-proclaimed master of the universe with the IQ of a fruit fly. I'd like to see him take a crosscheck to the spine, give him some perspective

Not going to tell you to not hate on Rishaug, but Rishaug's tweet during the game suggesting it was a bad penalty to take is 100% accurate - it was a bad penalty to take. That penalty could have spring boarded Dallas back to life just like last game with how poor our PK is. That's all the tweet implied, and luckily for Nurse the Oilers killed off the penalty.

The tweet didn't suggest anything about the severity of the play itself, nor takes a side on it. I don't think anyone, other than Oilers haters or Stars apologists, would suggests Nurse's slash was some pre meditated attempt at cutting of Hintz leg. It was a retaliation to being crosschecked in the back, plain and simple. Sucks that it appears Hintz is actually hurt as a result, but at the same time, glad Nurse isn't hurt from the crosscheck from behind

So ****ing pumped boys snipes jr. and I will be heading up from Calgary to the game.

Last one we were at was that game 6 shit kicking we laid on the Canucks. It was far and away the craziest atmosphere I’ve ever been in for any sport and I’ve been to well over a dozen Seattle Seahawks games along with numerous other sporting events.

Expecting game 3 to be off the charts loud. Let’s go!!!

No reason to rush Ekholm into the lineup when we've shut out our opponent in 3 of the last 4 games IMO.

if Ekholm feels he could jump in but isn't 100%, just keep him away because of what you say.

If we lose our 3rd game, put him in.

I know Kurt Leavins was saying the opposite. Get Ekholm in as soon as we can. I disagree, but it could have the advantage of getting Ekholm up to full game speed by the Finals. It's not arrogance to plan that far ahead. We are cup or bust and so making decisions to maximize this team for the next round makes sense. I'd assume that Ekholm coming back earlier doesn't risk re-injury. Knoblauch wouldn't be that dumb while defense wasn't an issue
