GDT: Game #58: Oilers @ Bolts - 5:30 PM - SN1

[Oilslick941611]

The team has never lost 4 in a row since Knoblach took over, so here's hoping they keep that alive and that the recent poundings have got the teams attention making they ready to start playing like they should for the final 25 games.

LA's now fully filling up the rearviewmirror trying looking for a passing lane and Vegas has a chance to pull away if Edmonton doesn't press on the throttle again.

All 3 teams are struggling. Vegas is 4-4-2 in the last 10. We are 5-4-1. La is 5-3-2. No one is pulling away from anyone or catching up yet. The season isn’t over, the sky isn’t falling and a win tonight cures a lot of stuff you say and a loss isn’t devastating.

Shine is wearing off the Knob. Needs some polish

We've had the Tip. The Wood. And now the Knob.
Heaven help us if there's a coach with the last name of Shaft of Sack. He might be in line next...

If the oilers get off to a slow start--I would suggest every take a deep breath and relax. The house is not on fire and the world is not about to collapse

Too logical. Get prepared to be called a bootlicker.

Found him. Don’t even have to go far, he’s an assistant at NAIT.

Feels like a dentist appointment. Just get it over with.

I think we are benching the wrong Skinner

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

You guys should just pick random netflix or disney plus shows and then recount those in the thread, save yourselves the stress lol.

 

[TheTrashMan]

Hockey math says we get the win this evening

 

[tardigrade81]

You down in Florida?

I'm thinking I should just show up and say f*** it

Jump the ice and put myself in net

 

[dssource]

Need to show up if we plan to beat a red hot Tampa team. Weekend festivities are done. Time to get back to work and earn a W!

My only defense is that when the Schedule came out this was the part we did not like

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

The Tampa announcer has an annoying voice

I really wanna know what J. Skinner is doing wrong.

Last 11 games he's played 5v5. 75% GF. 59% xGF. 56% HDCF.

It's not like there are bad things happening with him out there. So many guys on this team are playing extremely suspect defensive hockey so he is not at all standing out as bad defensively, he's probably top half of the forwards in defensive effort lately.

What is the guy doing wrong?

First time watching hockey since the 4 cups final. Mostly because I was recovering from violent illness. Still have lingering shits but my brain is almost 100%.

I’m watching without sound but I saw the golden girls (sexy ladies) and then I’m sure I was watching Gene make awful puns..

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

The levels of stupid you need to be to lose every young speedy forward in one offseason after just playing in the cup finals with them.

Media need to rip into this management.

The media is slowly starting to see this and is slowly starting to put some pressure on I’ve noticed this week. That the trades and signings this summer and letting Broberg and Holloway walk, were not good ideas.

If you take care of the net I know some guys who will take care of Skinner

Radio guys on 1440 today brought up that J Skinner’s 5vs5 goals happen in garbage time. Said not to look at a table of numbers to draw conclusions (paraphrasing)

He refused to walk Knoblock’s dog when it was -30 for two weeks over the break while Nobby was vacationing in Cabo.

And now he’s gonna pay.

Why do they always switch anthem singers, just get through the anthems and be done

I'd say that's another thing he's not alone in these days. Most of our depth guys are garbage time performers, but also giving up loads in non-garbage time.

Better yet just get rid of them altogether.

Bouchards pizzeria open already.

Bouchard being Bouchard

Can Bouchard please grow a f***ing brain?
