GDT: Game #36: Oilers @ Ducks - 2 PM - SN

[CROTT]

Pickard is the opposite of Skinner. Makes more of the hard saves but less of the easy ones.

Or the truth you just hate Skinner regardless of what saves he makes....

 

[Oilhawks]

R we seriously comparing Skinner with Grant fking fuhr???

Yeah, that's a no from me, dog.

 

[Oilking83]

We were terrible that period. The Ducks being the Ducks is the only reason the game is what it is on the scoreboard.

Play properly for a period then they can take the third off which I what they appear to be looking to do.

We’ve been way too happy to play pond hockey with bad teams for years tho.

 

[TheNumber4]

Every single stat of his being in the toilet suggests otherwise.

His stats paint a story of 2 seasons. Half season complete shit. As Knob has noted. As I have noted. But he’s been pretty good for the 2nd half we should admit.

 

[tardigrade81]

Grant Fuhr should make a comeback. We would take him back

What did I say there suggests I favour Pickard over Skinner?

We need a goalie that can stop the easy ones and some of the hard ones.

 

[brentashton]

That kind of stuff makes me go... hi ho it's the pirate seas for me...

Agreed. Sail on sailor!!

Haven’t paid for streaming, sat or cable in 4 years now.

Yeah, that's a no from me, dog.

Some people have completely lost the plot. Not enough laughing emojis for someone comparing Fuhr to Skinner. That is a bannable offence, making that comparison.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Puck was headed right toward his pad. Until Nurse directed it away from pad and around the pad.

These aren’t excuses. These are the exact facts of what happened on that goal. I garantee you didn’t even realize it was deflected by Nurse, so get out of here with the excuse making accusations.

He literally let a goal in that slid along the ice it doesn't matter how it went in. I just found it ironic you make a comment about him usually not letting in pucks that are along the ice a game after he did just that.

Overall post history, you complain if Skinner farts the wrong note. But don't do the same for Pickard.

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

Stuart Skinner isn't as bad as a lot of posters make him out to be but comparing him to Fuhr is pure cringe. He has a similar save percentage this season as Fuhr did in the 80s lmfao.

I mean my post that you quoted is already a complaint about Pickard.

Almost like the standards are different for a supposed starter vs. his backup.

Or do you hold Derek Ryan to the same standard as McDavid?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Glad J Skins is sitting. Ryan is more or a positive player.

That’s really sad.

Your original critique was that it went in UNDER his pad, which didn’t happen. Now it’s any goal that slides along the ice is bad?

Comparing a straight on shot that slides under the pad to a goal that gets deflected at net front to go in, makes no sense. So maybe that’ll clear up some confusion as to why your comparison makes no sense.

Which goalie is our starter?

He should probably be expected to be better

 

[CycloneSweep]

That’s really sad.

Only cost us Holloway

Pickard is the opposite of Skinner. Makes more of the hard saves but less of the easy ones.

LOL ya that is true too. Need a guy that can make both consistently

Which goalie is our starter?

He should probably be expected to be better

According to stats, pickard is the starter who doesn't get the starts.

 

[Cloned]

Only cost us Holloway

Mildly hot take but there is no way Holloway breaks out here like he has in St. Louis.

Here he’d either be playing either Brown and Janmark or deferring every play to McDrai.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

We even tried running Fuhr out of town.Nothing new here.

How do run a 895 goalie out of town?

He isn't even in the town if you want the league average to be the cut line lmao

If Derek Ryan doesn't get 150 points this season he should retire

 

[Cloned]

To be fair we also ran Andy Moog out of town and it probably got us 4 Cups.

 

[Tarus]

Weird game so far. Oilers were up 2 goals on 3 shots and it looked like this would be an easy game, then Pickard lets one in the 2nd official Duck shot of the game(terrible defensive decision by Emberson too) which gave them a lot of life

No idea why Derek Ryan still gets into the lineup on this roster though. With how open this game is, his inability to make even the simplest of plays with the puck is glaring

 

[Oil53]

Not comparing Skinner to Fuhr.Comparing the fans of yesteryear same as now.Keep hating.
