GDT: Game #40: Oilers @ Pens - 5 PM

[Mcnofool6110]

Skinners been awful. Defence has been bad.

That was probably worse than any goal Skinner let in so far.

Somehow alive lmao

*Also, the one f*** you I'll say to the refs is the bullshit that Bryan Rust is allowed to scream bloody murder for a pick and dirty shoulder on a non puck carrier, and Darnell Nurse got an unsportsmanlike for half as much on half as much. It was bush league at best, and sinister at worst

 

[McHelpus]

Hahaha

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

wtf is janmark drunk lol

 

[TheNumber4]

Nuge not only dusted that off, he gave it a good deep carpet cleaning, and still sniped it.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Really Yanmark?

 

[K1984]

If we can find a way to not play a single second in our own end in the third we might have a chance.

This game is decade of darkness levels of incompetence in our own end

 

[Oilslick941611]

in hand now Pens have stopped skating

 

[Oilers88]

Lol wtf was that Janmark.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Mcdavids decision making is broken ffs

You’re not allowed to question him apparently.

But yes I agree. He keeps passing from the slot.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Down by 2 into the 3rd, we still have a chance

it's October-era defending our there...running around with no clue where to be position-wise

Lolll that was bad.

 

[Zerotonine]

you need to watch the game

Ill admit I'm not watching just reading posts.

But let's be real. Skinner is known for stinkers after he has good games. It's mental problems with him. Just like Campbell. Nothing is gonna change. And we all know how Campbell ended....

 

[CupofOil]

A 2 on 1 and Janmark smashes a slapshot from deep that was off the Janmark. Uhh....

D men lazily moping into the corner, not really bothering to battle at all combined with a bunch of forwards standing around like the puck should just come to them.

Yet we’re probably shocked that we’re getting assaulted by them hitting the trailer low-> high.

Doomers and quitting on the game. Seems to be a pattern there. Wonder what the connection is.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Nugent Hopkins centre slot kill shot. His shot is so much better when he has a straight look and can pick any of the five holes. But blocker side his old trusty.

not a single goal was his fault in the first

multiple 2-on-1s and point blank chances right in the slot

people expecting a Hasek-like performance from an average goalie like Skinner would be mistaken

 

[Mr Positive]

Woo just noticed the new site. Anyway nice to start the 3rd only down 2. Could be an epic comeback!

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

So is skinner playing better or worse than his save percentage

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

They played like trash, dug a massive hole, but there still right there. The 3rd will be interesting.

 

[Jarvi]

Full team 'effort' tonight. Weren't ready for a Penguins team shot out of a cannon. Poor decisions aplenty while grossly outworked gets you buried. High pressure forecheck has badly exploited the Oilers tonight.

Right after all I heard in Oilers media was how they dominated the Pens recently. These guys can't help but huff their own farts.

It's why I am still apprehensive if we draw LA yet again come playoffs. They are a hungry team that our guys will most certainly overlook like they did recently, just like this "washed" Pens team was seemingly chalked up as a W before puck drop.

He and they were bad, it just one of those things that sucks.

Even if you want to skewer Skinner - was he in any way at all worse than the trash in front of him the whole first?

Team embarrassments are a thing, and that’s exactly what that was. To single out Skinner is ridiculous.

I love his shot when he’s not sniping posts like no one’s business. He can get into that mode.

It’s so obvious every player and coach will say we shat the bed in the 1st. You know, cause we did. Why deny that reality?

Skinner will also say he should be better. And I’d agree with him.

A 4 goal against 1st period has a lot of blame to go around.
