GDT: Game #55: Avalanche @ Oilers - 7 PM - SNW

[Ruok]

The Skinner show is over. Get Gibson now. I’m done with this inconsistency

Gibson and consistency also have issues. Try for Saros or something.

Somebody blast skinner into.space

Knob will just blast Jeff and call it a day. You know it

 

[nerevarine]

What does it take for knoblaugh to pull a goalie this year?

 

[snipes]

We need to trade for a goalie

 

[McTonyBrar]

after tonight? 2 weeks of no real hockey

I’m gonna stick to the Condors. Rather watch Matty Savoie play meaningful hockey in the AHL and not the Fake 4 Nations Fartmans Dream

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Colorado looks more dangerous than they did the first two games. MacK is feasting.

lol that doesn’t mean they are a bad matchup…

 

[oobga]

And double teaming Mackinnon leaving the slot wide open

Looked like some casual skating by the fresh D that just came on. Guys needed even an ounce of urgency.

I like Skinner, some nights he's good. But his record and terrible play against top 10 teams is just not good enough.

They need someone better

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I wonder if KK's hesitation to pull Skinner is that he wants to show management that an upgrade is needed.

I don't know - it doesn't make sense to keep him in.

I think he doesnt want to hurt a fragile goalies mental game even more than everything else does.

This guys a mental midget in net.

50% or more of goaltending is all mental, and this guy needs a therapist after every practice.

 

[MoontoScott]

Oilers will probably have to score 8 to win. Maybe pull the goalie for the start of the 2nd period.

 

[Oilhawks]

tHeY nEeD aNoThEr dMaN!

 

[McBeastMode]

What the f*** is Knob waiting for?

Knob has never pulled a goalie, doesn't want to hurt their feelings..

 

[soothsayer]

Skinner's given up his traditional 3 goals in under 10 shots, so he'll lock it in now folks!

 

[McFlash97]

Fn pos mofo dumb fxxx management. This game is living proof of a 2 man team vs a team with boatloads of youth and speed. The Avs will run the Oilers show all day because we look like were skating in quicksand when the puck is turned over. Need functional speed and fn above average goaltending. We have niether

 

[Old Boys Club]

Standard 3 in 10 first period. These are becoming alarmingly frequent

 

[MoontoScott]

Significantly better. Every shot is an adventure.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

lol that doesn’t mean they are a bad matchup…

Continually giving up odd man rushes isn’t ideal.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

All the Skinner lovers, 0.75 ohhhhhh it's only the 1st period and it's alllllll the d's fault. Good goalies DON'T make great saves to keep their team in a game, they just don't. I just can't believe this is the best option this team has come up with, blows my mind.

Letting that 3rd goal in is alright, if he doesnt let 2 complete stinkers in.

Not my fault skinner defenders will have his back nomatter what though.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Gibson and consistency also have issues. Try for Saros or something.

Gibson is behind a terrible defence and has a .913 save percentage. I’ll take that over Skinner

 

[Echodek]

Colorado looks more dangerous than they did the first two games. MacK is feasting.

MacK is feasting because Skinner is hot garbage

 

[Messier11]

Why the hell can one of our defenceman not just plaster Mackinnon when he crosses out blue line with the puck? Like just level him? FFS, go get Eleksiak and Soucy and call it a day. This team will not beat Colorado in a playoff matchup. Skinner is such a tire fire. Shoot high glove or left short side. Every team has the book on him.

 

[iCanada]

Oilers really struggling on the rush defense tonight.

Would help if S.Skinner got his head into the game. His focus looks iffy at best tonight

Strangely we give up the least amount of rush chances against in the league, yet have the 6th most rush goals given up.

Something something Skinner's record against for teams something something...

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

Colorado looks more dangerous than they did the first two games. MacK is feasting.

MacK is "feasting" because Skinner gifted them two f***ing goals, bro.

Absolutely trash goaltending is why we're down by 1 and not up by 1.

 

[Oilhawks]

What does it take for knoblaugh to pull a goalie this year?

That’s the neat thing, he won’t.

Doesn’t do it in the first 4 against; and won’t bother when the game is out of reach. Just brutal

This!!!
