GDT: Game #35: Oilers @ Kings - 2 PM - SNet

[TopShelfGloveSide]

the not my fault skinner crowd will defend anything he does.

It’s just embarrassing at this point.

Breaks never do well for the oilers

 

[Sethual]

Funny that the Skinner bashers are quiet for games then a goal goes in thats complete fluke and he's trash after being over .923 in 8 of his last 10 starts. Pathetic, its all in your heads....

and in my eyes and in my nose cause Skinner stinks in net

 

[OfCorsiDid]

I don't think we beat LA in another rematch. They play football out there and we don't want to and the refs are ok with it

Plus we have skinner

I think you all need to lighten up.

We just had Christmas. Team has been playing well lately. Don’t get caught in the minutiae of a single period.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Yeah God forbid people want the goalie who is always on his knees to be able to save a puck along the ice that's in the middle of the ice.

You're going to be really upset when you realize that there isn't anything better out there to acquire

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I mean it seems like it's a hopeless endeavor for the team in general, if they can't handle all of LA's amazing talent and monstrous size, all we can do is pray

No need for hyperbole. Oil got caught with a #6 & #7 d pair against a big top line. Overmanned in battle areas.

Coaching staff has done a good job to mitigate their d gaps. Got caught there in a bad matchup.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

I mean Blackwood has been more consistent and has a higher peak than either of Skinner or Campbell, but sure, let’s not even try to improve on Stu. Working so far!

Fans: can we please have a reliable starting goaltender??

Oilers brass: we have a goalie at home

I personally think that we were outplayed after they scored the game tying goal (I don't blame Skinner on that one) but it would've been nice if he didn't let that Foegele goal in. That's a save that a more athletic tender likely makes.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Still two periods to go. Nice 0.800 period there. Room for improvement.

 

[oXo Cube]

Write all the essays you want about why these individual goals aren't on Skinner, the team just played another period where they allowed one scoring chance and two goals.

Happens way too often.

He’s being sarcastic

 

[Oilslick941611]

Skinner asleep has no idea where the puck was

Atrocious all around

oh come on, that took 3 bounces after the pass.

 

[MoontoScott]

Blatant missed call on Edmundson. Clearly drove the player into the net for delay of game penalty.

You wonder if some of these refs know the rulebook?

 

[Echodek]

There was. And management slept on it cuz…..ride or die with Skinner

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Ah yes the you can't hate the way a player is playing cause there isn't an upgrade upgrade out there argument.

Foegele’s goal didn’t count as a “scoring chance?” Lol
Flawed system

 

[Mr Kot]

Kids playing on the ice right now at the kings arena. I wonder if any of them can suit up for Oilers?

 

[MoontoScott]

Goalies know that the patented forehand to backhand move is Hyman's trump card. It didn't work that period.

 

[KCC]

W nurse’s mom.

They know. They just don't call it.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

The takeaway from that period is that McDavid forgot how to shoot again and we don't have the horses to match size and grit with the team's bigger and tougher teams. Kane will help but we need more than that. Ideally a strong defender that can clear the crease and a couple of bigger forwards to round out our bottom 6. We make it too easy on the other team's defense because we don't have enough guys getting into the blue paint and making a living there.

 

[Oilhawks]

Stu Circus back in town, Bustfield and no hands Warren scoring is a bad look

Guy is just not reliable enough for a contender. Need to trade for an upgrade on Pickard so they can yank the Clown when he’s full 3 Ring Circus mode

I blame the break

 

[VeteranPresence]

I mean, Skinner has played in a Cup final
Blackwood has had a few good games I guess

Michael Leighton played in a SCF, you want him too?

The first goal having a more athletic goalie might make the difference too.

He was down well before the shot was even taken giving Byfield a clear look at where is open.
