GDT: Game #45: Oilers @ Avalanche - 7:30 PM - SN1

[Mcnofool6110]

Goal there created by Troy Stecher breaking up a dangerous play in front of the net. Good redemption after a bad giveaway behind the net by him as well.

I thought that was a soft goal... but the Avs dman deflected it just enough to fool the goalie.

 

[Mr Positive]

La upgraded their goaltending Colorado upgraded their goaltending Edmonton over here like don't worry if skinner sucks in the playoffs we always got pickard to fall back on.

But look at the cap savings!!! $$$$

 

[McTonyBrar]

Terrible goaltending but Oilers created some chances.

Arvidsson made Blackwood look like Skinner/Pickard for a minute lol

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Needed that PP with the wide open looks they had.

Waiting for the inevitable Skinner post game comments.
Yeah its my fault. I let the team down tonight. But on a side note, I'm listening to podcasts, reading books, and meditating.

Lol he never says it's his fault, it's always "I liked my game."

 

[KCC]

We are going to see this garbage in the playoffs. Skinner will cost this team so many games these playoffs. lol

 

[Gnome17]

Ive defended Skinner some lately because he has been better for the past 6-7 weeks and I think he gets way too much shit on here, but.
This is a game in which the only Oiler (except the other Skinner lol) who isn't playing back to back is Skinner, you need to rely on him here and hes completely shit the bed tonight.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Dang, didn't know Blackwood was .938 sav% and 9-2-1 with the Avs.

Have we cleaned house yet on our pro scouting for goalies?

Why just goalies? Arvidsson has been a big let down Skinner well he's in and out of the line up and henrique has been borderline garbage. Our pro scouts should all be greeters at Walmart.

 

[McAsuno]

Annoying that the Oilers were the better team in that period but are down 2 goals because Skinner had to be the Hyde version.

Lol he never says it's his fault, it's always "I liked my game."

That's true, hahaha.

 

[VeteranPresence]

As usual, no intelligent response or post out of you.

You cry and cry about colorado's pro scouts, the same pro scouts that traded a top 3 D for a 3 C.

I'm going to ask again, which goalie tonight has a 0.500 SV% (on less than ten shots against no less)- Blackwood or Skinner? If you're unable/unwilling to answer, I think we know which one of us is lacking in the first area.

 

[CupofOil]

first two were saveable. First one would've been a nothing chance if Skinner had the paddle down

Yep, first one was a defensive breakdown but Skinner was swimming without water for some reason and there's no reason for the 2nd one to go in. Third one Bouchard got clowned but a big save would have been nice. I'm generally a Skinner backer but this is one of his Skinjob games.

 

[dssource]

Bed time for me. Will watch the rest of this comeback tomorrow.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

So they'll never a few more saves and to find some more finish. Go get the next one

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Did centre ice become between the top of the circles and the faceoff dot in the defensive end? You know you can watch the replay really quickly and not look silly....

Teach me Yoda. Please help me understand

 

[AlbOilFAN]

Louie can f*** off,, he should not fo our games anymore

 

[OilerMcLord]

Wow! Demko's given up 3 goals on 4 shots against the Kings!

 

[Zerotonine]

For some reason this team is way to freaking loyal to Skinner

Spelt Schultz wrong

 

[rboomercat90]

Skinner and his 600 save percentage tonight

I can’t stop looking and laughing at this,

 

[CanadasTeam99]

He's sucking u

"Real solid defending" so holding is good defending Louie?

I for a national gig. People need to tell Sportsnet how brutal he is

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Was skinner bad? I missed the game so far . Or did the D shit the bed or both?

 

[McHelpus]

If I was Skinner I would take a shower after that period and start off fresh and clean

 

[LevelingSolo]

Wow Vancouver is ass

 

[foshizzle]

Has anyone ever thought it a bit weird how MacKinnon literally doubled his production over one summer? He became faster and much stronger and changed how his game is played. Usually you see progression- his game did a 180
