GDT: Game #56: Oilers @ Flyers - 11 AM - SNW & SN1

[FanOfSadTeam]

Pathetic

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

I'd say pull Stu, but Pickard being rested is better. Just deal with it and fight back.

Fire Dustin Schwartz, a good idea for today.

Let Skinner finish his mess.

Mohammad f***ing Allah, shore up the D. Allah!

 

[CycloneSweep]

Doesn’t even matter that the Oilers have some of the best defensive metrics in the league. A starting goalie is supposed to be able to make a save or two when things go wrong. Stu almost never does

The fact people here are horny for Binnington should be a huge red flag for Skinner.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Feels like theyve just given up at this point whats the point in putting energy into shifts when you have Skinner in net.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

The f*** is this second period?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Let Skinner finish his mess.

They have to with the back to back

 

[WEMCHUD]

Spector even admitted there is prob better goalies out there, but NO WAY would they be as good of locker room guys/teammates like steady stu is.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

This team really ain't as good as last year

We are 1 top 6 forward away from being better than last years team

 

[Oilhawks]

Surprised there was a save there, michkov must of fanned on it

Maybe he subconsciously felt bad for Stu

 

[5 14 6 1]

Imagine is Stu was on a middling team…he’d get the Campbell treatment

I was just wondering to myself who would even offer him an NHL contract?

 

[CycloneSweep]

The fact that Skinner is starting against Philly instead of Washington on a back to back is a tell that confidence behind the scenes in Skinner's ability to win against good teams isn't great.

Justifiably too

That’s a great point.

 

[unicornBLOOD]

the entire team should be flat out embarrassed of how they have played today.

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Spector even admitted there is prob better goalies out there, but NO WAY would they be as good of locker room guys/teammates like steady stu is.

True, he's holding our room together.

[Pip]

Rough defensive effort but you gotta make some saves too

 

[Stoneman89]

At least Yakupov was fun and didn't make 4 million a year

Unfortunately, his price was having to endure a terrible season to get that high pick.

 

[ChasinWaterfalls]

The whole team looks like they played an emotionally charged game 2 days ago.... not just mcdavid. The defence is so bad, constant 3 on 2, 2on 1, and breakaways.

 

[aspin3]

If you guys can't see how badly the Oilers are playing defensively I am not sure what I can show you. 2 on 1s, breakaways, giveaways, tip ins

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Skinner is gonna be getting a AHL deal after this one expires

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

We are 1 top 6 forward away from being better than last years team

A Dylan Holloway for example would be nice.

 

[Duke74]

Can we please get a goalie now?

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

I had such high hopes for Stu after he turned it around in the playoffs last season but it slowly seems like it was more wishful thinking.
While this team does him not a lot of favors, at this rate we might see what Rodrigue can do in the NHL..

 

[Oilhawks]

The fact that Skinner is starting against Philly instead of Washington on a back to back is a tell that confidence behind the scenes in Skinner's ability to win against good teams isn't great.

Justifiably too

I pray that you’re right

Maybe this headcase has heard some whispers and is starting to feel the pressure

Dude just doesn’t have the mental fortitude to be a starter (evidenced by having a full time shrink last year)

 

[unicornBLOOD]

Skinner just left the net, easiest goal ever and Tippett blew it. It’s like Skinner wanted him to score there

yup, didn't even give himself a chance to make the save. He would be better off lying down across the goal line in a 2 pad stack for the whole game when he plays like this.
