GDT: Game #61: Oilers vs. Ducks - 7 PM - SN1

[MoontoScott]

I guess the thing is that Connor Brown is useless all the f***ing time and both seasons he's been here, and continually. The otehr players mentioned are allstar players that generally make a positive difference.

Connor Brown could be traded tomorrow for a pumpkin pie and I'd be happy.

While you were away the Oilers signed him to a five year extension.

 

[McFlyingV]

They should send Savoie back down. He isn’t helping the team and him dealing with all this nonsense isn’t helping his development either.

He's trying but Arvidsson whiffing on a one timer put on a platter for him.

 

[iCanada]

It's not like we're playing great hockey, we've been an absolute tire fire defensively.

That's related though.

How do you play with confidence when you don't trust the guy behind you? You can't. You second guess yourself, you think more than you react, you over chase, and you play poorly.

The same way every muffin from the point makes us clench our cheeks as fans, the players do too. You panic when you don't trust your Goaltending.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Pickard was crap in the first but why was MacTavish all alone right in front of the goalie?

Great, so we agree.

Goalie first, then Top-4 D. And obviously...new goalie coach please and f***ing thank you.

 

[CycloneSweep]

The org with shit goaltending who refuses to even try a new goalie coach but will hire a new coach every 125-200 games.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This exact dcore has shown that when they actually play we can be a top 5-10 team in limiting chances. So yes it would solve most of it

Maybe it's time we admit last year was just an illusion. This team doesn't have it at all.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

I'm just dreading the thought of the playoffs these days. Pickard got pulled after putting up a gorgeous .636 save percentage.

Don't worry kids. The goaltending is fine according to the people that run this circus. Unless they are trying to hide their cards before the deadline...

 

[Oilslick941611]

Lol, can I trade you away...jk

whatever, youll see, if they get a goalie, they'll still have the same issues, until the team learns to play like it did earlier in the year.

 

[Mr Positive]

I didn't get to see those 4 goals go in. I see Moneypuck has us with the advantage in expected goals.

 

[CycloneSweep]

He's trying but Arvidsson whiffing on a one timer put on a platter for him.

Oh for sure. He isn’t playing bad but he would be better served being the best guy on his AHL team and being able to accomplish things rather than sitting here watching this NhL just give up everything nightly. It must not be a great locker room right now.

 

[MoontoScott]

Funny how an organization with shit goaltending that hasn’t taken the position serious ever has coaching problems…

The sad fact is that when you haven't drafted and developed a #1 goaltender since 1982, it is going to catch up with you. Free agency is a fickle companion.

 

[McTedi]

Great, shaky D and goaltending combined with inability to generate offence.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Maybe it's time we admit last year was just an illusion. This team doesn't have it at all.

I’m talking about this season.

 

[BlackDogg]

Deja vu

 

[McTonyBrar]

There it is. Skinner allows a goal on the first 5 shots. Again.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Drai -4 tonight. Brutal back check there Leon.

Almost every elite goalie in the league is home grown. Meanwhile we couldn't grow potatoes despite having one for a GM.

 

[iCanada]

Lol

 

[CycloneSweep]

I miss Ryan Strome

 

[Tobias Kahun]

yup, get some goalies

 

[K1984]

Leadership group leading the way effort wise there.

 

[McTedi]

f*** this team, Drai with no back check

 

[Mr Positive]

More intel for Bowman lol

 

[lopper]

Goaltending is good to go for playoffs right boys!?!?

 

[onetweasy]

It’s almost like they take after this fraud of a coach

When skinner and pickard were giving us above .900 sv % between Nov and Feb we had one of the best records in the league.

Give this team goalies who are not ranked 72nd and 73rd out of 94 for goals saved above expected and then we can start assessing this “fraud of a coach”
