GDT: Game #52 - Leafs @ Oilers - 5PM - Set your clocks to center of the universe time!

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Was it 5 shots to 1 to start the game? Then the leafs scored on the 2nd or 3rd shot? Lol

Were any of those shots dangerous?

This guy must not like money

Maybe he’s Skinner’s godfather or something.

Sometimes a goalie really struggles against certain teams for whatever reason. Skinner has been very solid recently but if he keeps struggling against the same team it does makes sense to let Pickard play those games.

Too late

 

[Mr Positive]

Who is we? lol

The Edmonton Oilers.

Although I suppose that also applies to us fans ripping on the effort haha

 

[Old Boys Club]

The more time Skinner has spent with vampire Schwartz, the worse his game has become. He barely can track pucks or corral rebounds now. Seems like a pretty obvious negative linear relationship.

Unfortunately, Schwartz seems to be bulletproof in this org. All the talking heads won't even entertain any criticism of a goalie coach that has a decade of making Oilers goalies worse.

Yea the Oilers had spent the entire game in the offensive zone until that weak penalty.

Oh well, with Ekholm out it seems like whatever is ailing the team is getting worse. Not surprised they continue to look slow.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

that didn't happen though

Yes it did. We were outplaying them.

His apologists will say no we didn't lol. We were much better than them. Then these trash officials and SKinner showed up

 

[Ibanez]

Skinner with the Baby Brain and the boys with the flu, always suck against the Make Beliefs as well, predictable

lol Make Beliefs. I’ve never heard that before. Chuckled out loud

Hope Stan is watching Stu shit his pants

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Missing this one but I blame the 5pm start

 

[Mr Positive]

I'm so done with Arvidsson and several guys in our middle 6 who bring nothing man, just a whole bunch of skating around, falling, and one and done's.

It feels like we just have to keep playing these guys because for instance Arvidsson is signed past this season so we "gotta get him going"

 

[McDoused]

This guy must not like money

f*** off Mark.

Dude isn't even on the ice for a goal against that period and that's who is picks on?

If Skinner doesn't want to be on permanent diaper duty he better get his head out of his own ass.

 

[Pip]

Skinner gave Nylander half the net on that play

Ices the puck on the PP and kills the final 50 seconds. Don't worry though, he has good analytics

 

[iCanada]

Games like this are proof that Skinner’s so called good stats are a product of the Oilers strong defensive system. On a night like tonight where the teams best defenseman is out of the lineup and the team is trying to break in another defenseman who hasn’t played in a year and a half Skinner can’t stop a beach ball and looks like he’s in panic mode every time the puck is in the Oilers end. He’s let in a weak wrist shot and coughed up the puck on two weak shots he should have been able to control the rebound and stop the play. It’s an embarrassing result from a guy who can’t step up on a rare night that his team needs him. He’s a joke, pretending he’s something else isn’t helping this team.

[Sanchez]

f***ing Leaf homers giddy on the panel.

 

[McDoused]

The panel just glazing the Leafs. Yeah Nylanders shot was elite, not a soft goal from Skinner.

Unwatchable.

Consistently inconsistent.

 

[booyakasha]

i don't know what your interpretation of "outplaying" is......
if it's being on our heels from the get go, and being run,. than yes, we "outplayed" them.

Ostrich racing on TSN. This is entertainment.

Arvidsson has 6 goals on the year, and I think a few might have been EN. He's not been good.

 

[Pip]

Aside from Skinner and Klingberg getting walked I’m still upset about that McDavid pass when he’s sitting in the slot. Really set the tone as unserious about actually trying to win the game.

 

[Shanahanigans]

This guy must not like money

A period in which Klingberg and Stetcher were abused and Skinner couldn't stop a beach ball- that he picks on Bouchard is pure, pure narrative building.

 

[ujju2]

We better find a f***ing goalie with all the cap space we're going to have at the deadline.

Team management really had an awful offseason. And their waiver wire grabs have been shit too.
