GDT: Game 41: Gimme a Dozen - Kraken @ Oilers 7pm - SN1

[OfCorsiDid]

Skinner doesn’t challenge enough on breakaways. So much room to shoot at.

Man I don’t know how anyone watches whatever the hell that period was and comes away with the conclusion being that Skinner is at fault.

You all need to start recognizing your biases.

 

[leopoldbstotch]

Jacks had some good ones tonight, at least provides a laugh while we play like shit.

“ he touched his own tip twice”

“ Kane tugs it out for Draisatl!”

 

[Ibanez]

Wet fart of a period wow. Just horrible to give them 3 breakaways

A really wet fart. Clearly more than skid marks in oiler undies after that period

 

[Oilers in NS]

we were down 2 recently I seem to recall
Reset in intermission

Lol where did I say it was Skinners fault?

 

[K1984]

He's trying to be too cute, and I notice he's sort of reverted to trying to pass directly through opposing sticks on the ice, which is what he was doing early in the season. Hope it's just a couple of rough games and not going to be a pattern going forward.

I can’t help but wonder if there has been a hand/wrist injury of some sort the whole year.

Even the most pass happy versions of Connor in the past weren’t this pass happy. He literally won’t shoot.

 

[RipsADrive]

Oilers playing like they're ready for that winning streak to end.

I thought that after the start of the Leafs game too though so let's see what they bring in the 2nd.

 

[TheNumber4]

Team too satisfied by tanking the Leafs franchise or what?

Press clippings time is over. Time to get back to work.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Knob needs to talk to Connor and tell him to shoot. He scored 60 last year but doesn't look like he'll be close this year.

we can say Skinner played the breakaway wrong. It doesn't mean we're blaming him. At least certainly not me. Saying he could have played the 2nd goal better isn't saying hes a piece of shit who can't stop a shot.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Winnable game.

 

[leopoldbstotch]

They totally hung Skinner out to dry. 3 breakaways?!

The team is like that episode of Seinfeld where George stops having sex and turns into a genius that back to a moron the instant he has it again.

You didn’t but others did, the mobile experience with a live thread on is so terrible that I wasn’t gonna scroll through multiple other comments to find the one I wanted to chew out lol.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Yes. That’s why I’m all for moving him. I know he’s injured- but that will be the norm for him. He has some hard miles on his body.

You've hated Kane since the day he signed here.

 

[Mr Positive]

Ekholm had a dream last night that he was actually Erik Karlsson.

McDavid has a hallpass to do what he wants but he has been making a lot of poor decisions lately.

I actually don't mind McDavid playing around during the season. It burns us but it supports his creative process. For instance that spinorama move is deadly but the only way to find its limits is to play with it

Thanks for the reminder of the worst captain I. Oilers history in this segment.

Like.

Like if you don’t think goals happen at a high rate on Breakaways or perfect cross ice passes that leave the net empty I don’t know what to tell you.

Like watch some goals against the Shesterkins, Vasis, or Sorokins of the world and give yourself some PERSPECTIVE. Goals happen in this League.

 

[Vagabond]

Nuge is kinda in a funk and so is Kane. Maybe, just maybe swap the two. Perhaps that gives both a boost and change the chemistry slightly enough to create something.. different. Lol

Also; switch the PP up! It can't hurt.. especially how bad it's looked in the last 15 or so games.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

At least the oilers didn't try to make a goalie the captain tho

Oh yeah. Game ain’t over. We seem to like the rope a dope. It’s just not a good long term strategy

So many bad habits creeping in.

Hopefully we smarten up

 

[belair]

I've been fine with him. But I trade him for the cap relief today easily. Too much risk of his game falling off the face of the Earth.

There's no way we can trade him while he's slumping. He has term left.

I've said this same thing so many times defending some of the goals scored on our goalies and have been told by the same select few around here that I'm just straight up wrong and have no idea what I'm talking about

Nuge isn’t slumping. A bit quiet but his contributions to that line can be very subtle. Like just a smart small area pass, or a puck dig out. I wouldn’t touch line 1, it’s rolling.
