Whose our pk coach again? Stuart? Should probably replace him.

Yeah I think Stuart does pks and Gulutzan does PPs

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Eh, it's more than that. We're over chasing and over thinking.

We don't trust our goaltender.

???

Not everything is goaltending buddy. Also if they are that mentally fragile, we have much larger problems than goaltending.

We have ONE shot in the 2nd. So far Skinner has held up his end of the bargain. Eventually the other 18 guys need to do SOMETHING.

7 shots through half the game... team has lost all offensive spark.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Good pk

Skinner also sucks they’re not mutually exclusive

 

[dssource]

Do the oilers have a shot in this period?

 

[tardigrade81]

You'd be the best, that's why you're not allowed to play

If I was in net I would have scored for us too

I don't get it. Like do we have to go back to peewee hockey and set shot # goals for them to hit?

 

[Zguy370]

Would love to see Skinner replace Nuge on the PP at some point

Ain't going to happen he's has a 21 year 1st pp contract

The shakier the opposing goalie looks the less we will shoot. We are just a really polite team.

 

[unicornBLOOD]

not as bad tonight, still not shooting though, 7 shots half way through the game is horrible.

you should put on that on your avatar

I don't think Bouchard is the problem on the PP.

I don't even think a single player is at fault.

It's the whole unit.

Well it’s game 59, he should have buried atleast 1 by now

Team has shut their brains off since the break ended. It’s strange. Terrible work ethic and laziness is killing them and they don’t have thr goaltending to steal any games for them in the meantime.

I wonder if politics reared its ugly head in the locker room and is causing some divide.

Even last year during the season I never felt the team was all that close. Things changed in the playoffs for the better, but i don't know, maybe there is locker room issues. Maybe every one is hurt and giving it all they have, but they dont have anything left to give, who knows.

We know the team is better than what they've shown, but the 4 nations break broke something.

Oh ya that’s the problem. Sherlock slickHolmes has solved the puzzle.

Maybe they need to bring Christia Freeland to coach the PP.

SMH.

Idk if I wanna blame Mark Stuart too much for the PK, it was historically good less than a year ago.

He lost Vinny, Ryan, McLeod and Ceci. That’s a lot of turnover and some of those guys were pretty damn good PKers even if they sucked at everything else.

I know they wanted 5v5 scoring but put a couple PK specialists on the 4th line..

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Possession before position

 

[TB12]

After how shaky Bob looked on Kulak's goal, you think they'd want to, you know, fire some pucks on net?

Guess not. We don't do that here.

Have you ever played a season in front of a sieve?

How about 3?

The AVS made it 15 games with this kind of goaltending.

 

[Heavy Dee]

What a lifeless game.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Bouchard handles a lot of the breakout duties for the team, his value isn't his powerplay work.

Nuge is just a coat-tail rider

I’m talking about his points as you were with RNH.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Man what happened to hyman

100%

The team forgot how to play together.

They dont shoot, they look lost, they can't complete a pass and they dont know what a dangerous shooting area is because they always f***ing over pass.

Yes Skinner sucks, but the team isnt losing games because of him. Coverage breakdowns, odd man rushes against, letting players get behind them, not moving and keeping coverage... Its bigger than goaltending. I agree with Bowman on this, Even if we had a better goalie, im not sure our record is much different, especially lately.

Just wanna say I don’t entirely disagree with you. We can do better than Skinner but the team hasn’t been helping him at all the last few games. Over the course of the entire season the team has been pretty good though, but this is not fun to watch right now and hard to explain.
