[brentashton]

There was a 4 full pages of photo of the WEM in my childhood geography textbook, Since then I always wanted to visit.

Its just hard to convince the wife to choose Edmonton over Spain for vacations..

You ever been to Vegreville?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

You mean how Pittsburgh won the Cup in 2009? Yeah it's nice to have a goalie.

yes we know, you've made up a scenario is your head where they manage to score a 2nd goal to fit your narrative

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I dont think you actually know anything about hockey, more often than not in cup finals game 7 its not the superstars scoring

How about anyone besides Janmark?

 

[Murphinator]

How about anyone besides Janmark?

How about you remember the fact we were pounding them until skinner let in one of the softest goals of the 2024 playoffs, deflating our team and losing us the cup

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Those capitals jerseys are nice

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Yeah thats all mcdavid and drai are paid to do is score and nothing else lol

they scored 1 fluke goal in Games 1 and 2 you conveniently glossed over that, probably Skinner fault too

 

[GrumpyKoala]

You ever been to Vegreville?

No, I unfortunately never been in Alberta.

 

[dssource]

Win the period here, Oilers. That's all I ask.

 

[Soundwave]

2017 Pittsburgh again game 7 vs Ottawa, 0 goals from Crosby and Malkin, they win anyway on the back of stellar goaltending.

2017 Pittsburgh again game 7 vs Washington, they get a shut out from their goaltending to win the series. No goals from Crosby/Malkin.

Crosby/Malkin were shut in like 4 game 7s and Pittsburgh won all of them en route to their 3 Cups.

Goal. Tending. Matters.

This ain't the Pond Hockey Championships, you have to find ways to win even when your fancy players don't get on the board, that's what the SC playoffs are about.

If your whole schtick is "we're gonna McDraibaby our way to a CUP!" eventually you're going to run into a goalie on the other end that doesn't let that happen, and then do you have anything in the tank that lets you win another way or not?

Remember when skinner gave up 3 goals in 2 minutes after we tied game 3? He even left the net on one of them. He is trash lol

"pounding them" by scoring 0 goals

 

[RattsSSV]

Yup

 

[NedPlimpton]

jesus christ

 

[Murphinator]

"pounding them" by scoring 0 goals

Such an ignorant comment lmao

how angry were you after Game 6 in the WCF? LOL

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Skinner can’t make a save lol

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Well that's not a great start.

 

[Sanchez]

Pathetic defense and goaltending

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Skinner'd

 

[Anemia]

Why make a save when it's so much easier to just let it in.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

But the Oilers have only scored 2 goals or less 15 times, and Skinner has allowed 3 goals or more 20 times this year (21 including tonight). Could it be that you blaming the offense is… wrong?

In the specific game where only 2 were given up? No. It was the offense that couldn't finish.

This is your problem: Comments are made about specific plays/games and you think they are blanket statements, then stew (Stu?) over them and totally misconstrue them in a different game.

 

[iCanada]

Loooool.

 

[Murphinator]

LMAO get a new goaltender please for the love of f***ing god

 

[snipes]

Pathetic. See you later guys.
