GDT: Game #46: Oilers @ Canucks - 8 PM - HNIC

[Pip]

Difference was Edmonton was controlling play even in the first

I agree. Way different game tonight. At no point did Edmonton control play really to that degree. Colorado was being saved by powerplays.

It’s funny watching you defend the goalie every time, just shows everyone how little you know

You’re right, the team played an amazing period and only he was bad.

 

[Ibanez]

Imagine giving up 17 shots on goal to this team lol. They barely get 20 alot of games

Atrocious period

Some coward ask Knob why he went 11-7 as well. Did Skinner bang his wife

It has to be about pressure him to ask for a trade. It can’t be anything other than that lol….

Whatever it is. It’s stupid. On a long road trip too

 

[Bryanbryoil]

He did make multiple huge saves in the first.

He looked bad on the Garland post, beyond that this deficit is not his fault IMO and I've ripped Stu plenty this season. Weak call on Bouch after Miller crosschecked him to the ribs and then a no call on Nurse getting tripped in front of the net = 2 goals that shouldn't have happened.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

To be fair, if we do lose this we absolutely deserve it for dressing Josh Brown over Jeff Skinner.

Was Brown on the ice for any GA in that period?

 

[NeverForget06]

The end of the Josh Brown experiment cannot come soon enough!

We’ve deserved to lose for a few games now. This was coming.

 

[Ibanez]

Only thing I can think of is they're trying to figure out if it's Brown or Stecher that get waived for Klingberg. The answer should be obvious, but they're probably scard of having no options with toughness.

Brown every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Anyone that thinks otherwise should lose their job immediately

 

[Sanchez]

Shut up Hrudey!!!

 

[Murphinator]

You’re right, the team played an amazing period and only he was bad.

Why is it so f***ing hard for you to comprehend that when a hockey team is playing bad that doesnt mean the goalie gives up every damn goal

Atrocious period

Answer is easy. Two D men are about to lose their job to the new guy and he wants to see who can figure that out first.

We know Brown is toast and the other is going to be Stretcher: Just a guess. Klingberg is night coming in to one of the guys rotated in and out of the line up

Yeah there is always that saying at the end of a run. You win a few games you shouldn’t. But eventually the bad habits hit

Drumheller is shaped like a butt crack

 

[Dazed and Confused]

I don't wanna hate on Knoblauch as he's a fantastic coach but why 11-7 tonight? Wrong choice after a long road trip.

11-7 with Brown, Perry, and Philp in vs. what is normally a quick counter attacking team.

It feels like the top guys have no gas, but unlike a few of these comeback wins, the bottom 6 has nothing to contribute.


Wrong game to take Kap out.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Canucks suck but the one thing they do well is actually go to nets and try taking lots of screen shots

That's why their shooting % is always high

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Then he turns into a sieve. He isnt consistent

No, but skinner certainly didnt f***ing help lol

A back door deflection in off Ekholm, Heinen all alone with multiple cracks, and a screened top corner shot by Hughes on the PP. Again he made multiple big stops. The guys need to tighten it up.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

This has all the signs of the oilers getting a goal only to see Skinner immediately let in another soft goal

 

[Jumptheshark]

Oilers need to shoot more

 

[YakDavid]

He looked bad on the Garland post, beyond that this deficit is not his fault IMO and I've ripped Stu plenty this season. Weak call on Bouch after Miller crosschecked him to the ribs and then a no call on Nurse getting tripped in front of the net = 2 goals that shouldn't have happened.

First two goals were just pucks on net and getting lucky. One off Ekholm and one where it looks like arvidsson tips it into skinners pad giving a rebound.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Why is it so f***ing hard for you to comprehend that when a hockey team is playing bad that doesnt mean the goalie gives up every damn goal

He made multiple big saves to keep them in it and they responded by playing even worse.

the Canucks dominated us. Why is that not an issue to you?

 

[lopper]

Stop the 11-7 nonsense and stop waiting until the team spots the opposition multiple goals before they put in some effort. What a wet fart of a period and especially against these bums.

 

[NegativeNelly]

Skinner skinning again. Woulda been nice to get a few saves while the team got their legs going But I dont expect much from a backup goalie like Skinner

 

[MoontoScott]

Why do we always insist on spotting the other team 2-3 goals?

Polite behavior towards the hosts but seriously the team looks drained.

There are only so many comebacks in the season's script.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Brown every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Anyone that thinks otherwise should lose their job immediately

Josh Brown has been such a disappointment. He's never been good, but he's also never been this terrible. Just needed to somewhat tread water to keep a roster spot.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Drumheller is shaped like a butt crack

And Calgary is the butthole.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

meh, I can't be mad if they lose....this was a loooooooong time coming with this insane schedule
cant win em all

will still be tied for first win or lose
