GDT: Game #43: Kings @ Oilers - 7:30 PM - SNW

[Behind Enemy Lines]

It’s absolutely glaring as well. To me this is one of the areas where a good goaltending coach would be training him to pick his spots better but it seems like Schwartz has but a big emphasis on puck moving as a goaltender even though it’s clearly not one of Skinners strong suits. He handles the puck so often but almost rarely does it help to speed up the transition up ice.

I doubt it's goaltending coaching. This is likely a development phase goalie area of growth or just how it will be with Skinner slow to anticipate and react with his puck handling. It's about game reps and experience. Incredible though also how weak Skinner is with his puck movement despite being a big guy.

Looks like a playoff team against a bottom feeder

LA just Dominant in actually executing their passes and board work

Atrocious period by these guys

 

[TheNumber4]

The oilers are their own worst enemy. When they are on the beat anyone

Yeh we aren't even close to our game right now.

 

[Oilslick941611]

We look slow and Kings faster getting to pucks

Our best players, apart from Drai have been taking the new year off.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Good thing we dressed 11 for ars so we can see mcdavid and draisaitl do nothing for a couple extra shifts this period.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Need to do more, but f*** this trap

 

[tardigrade81]

Forum working again. Sweet

 

[Oilslick941611]

2 shots eh? Neat

Kings got on the flames early on saturday with a similar shot count, they ended up losing the game. Shots are meaningless.

 

[Ibanez]

Can a team have negative offensive zone time?

Stay tuned to find out!!!

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Let's put some pressure on Kuemper

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

LA still plays hockey that makes you want to stop watching hockey

 

[TheNumber4]

How is that not icing.

 

[Sanchez]

Need this pp to score

They've had 1 real chance outside the powerplay.

 

[Canovin]

McDrai probably can’t wait to finish the game and go celebrate the birthday

 

[OfCorsiDid]

I don’t think the penalty shot even exists anymore

Sure but offensive zone time means something.

That of which we have very little

Can’t score from our zone?

 

[Mr Positive]

Outside of the Boston game we have played some shitastic hockey lately.

Games like this I doubt Knoblauch. Big fast team? Let’s run 7 d so we can give slow and shitty Josh Brown 4 minutes of ice time.


Boys are just ready to party for McDavids bday.

Maybe he's sending a message to the GM that we are lacking NHL RD

 

[Arctic Fox]

PP. Time to activate Hyman.

 

[dssource]

No penalty shot?

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Podkolzin has flashes where you can see why he was drafted 10th overall

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Podkolzin making things happen on the forecheck, honestly an impressive blocked shot on Draisaitl.

Get one here, make something of the pp

 

[TheNumber4]

There we go. Great outlet, finds a crack in the Kings coverage, and we get a PP out of it. #EK65orBust

 

[Sanchez]

LA will always trap no matter who's behind the bench

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Edmonton whole Game plan is hope and pray. No dangerous shots. Brutal passes. Zero cohesiveness.

They could learn from LA, the best team in GA/g

They take care of their zone, box guys out, block everything, and still dominate possession

Just ugly
