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

[CycloneSweep]

LOL

yeah, did you see the 5th goal?

GREAT job on limiting chances, causal backchecking, no sticks in the lane...guy wide open and alone in front of the net.....

Yeah they are playing awful right now, your point? At the ds best they are very good. At our goalies best they still suck.

 

[McFlyingV]

Would you try and help your goalie who is hugging a post for no reason?

Skinner played that as bad as Draisaitl did.

Draisaitl trying to get his team a new goalie tonight lol.

 

[rboomercat90]

Leon standing right beside the guy made no effort to check him. All these guys have quit. We’ve got issues with this club right now and it might not just be the goaltending.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Defense and goalie prove to continue being the problem and we bring in a forward

 

[Old Boys Club]

Louie and Jack gassing up the Ducks lmao. Oilers just suck

 

[LevelingSolo]

Red hot Montreal and Dallas teams up next

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

It's crazy how Savoie looks like the best oiler not named mcdrai. And watching RNH and RV unable to process the game at this kid's level. Truly horrific and embarrassing.

 

[MessierThanThou]

That was a loud WOO from Strome.

No, the goalies suck, so does the D

Changing the goalie isn't going to solve that.

I agree, changing the goalies who you admit suck isn't going to stop those exact same goalies from sucking. That is what you meant, right?

 

[Missing smitty]

Yall can keep blaming the goalies all you want , yes Skinner is not a starter, but not even the best goalie in the league can save this horrid D corps. You’d have to find a Hasek lmao , we got no hope with nurse and bouch as your big money tickets back there, not a chance

The Ducks are dogshit defensively too, but hey, let's just pretend that good goaltending doesn't help a team

 

[russ99]

Can we trade the coach at the deadline too?

 

[Cloned]

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I look forward for the 5th rebuild for this team... Or is it 6th? I lost count...

 

[iCanada]

Florida came back with a vengeance last year to win the cup, this team does the exact opposite.

Florida had goaltenders that could stop a beach ball.

 

[5 14 6 1]

97 is gone, no chance he re signs in this clown show

 

[McFlyingV]

Lol nice one Brown.

 

[Oilers88]

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.

I don't doubt that bad goaltending can impact the way a team plays, and there have definitely been games where the team dominated but got hung out to dry by their goaltending. That's not what's happening right now- a lot of their mistakes are pure lack of effort or attention. We allowed a breakaway in the first minute of the game. Last game, we were leading by one, Carolina took a penalty in the final minute of the game, and we somehow allowed the Canes a shorthanded breakaway. I have a really hard time pinning that on the team not trusting their goalies. The team has their heads up their collective asses right now (goaltenders included), and they need to get their shit together quickly.

 

[Soundwave]

The bad goal per game seems to sink the team, I think whatever was in the tank for fighting back from bad goals is gone. The 2nd goal sent the game into a tail spin.

 

[Shizuka]

I mean.. Bouchard and Ekholm backing up all the way in, ceding the top / middle of the circle.. what in the hell is wrong with all of these guys??

 

[MessierII]

Draisaitl is -4

 

[LevelingSolo]

97 is gone, no chance he re signs in this clown show

He’s not exactly helping right now

 

[Murphinator]

LOL f*** this. When mcdavid leaves im following his new team.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

97 is gone, no chance he re signs in this clown show

I wasn't aware he was still here.

 

[NegativeNelly]

Why would Drai bother to backcheck knowing stu can't stop it anyway

 

[K1984]

I mean.. Bouchard and Ekholm backing up all the way in, ceding the top / middle of the circle.. what in the hell is wrong with all of these guys??

Both of them have been f***ing terrible for a solid month +.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Holy s Connor Brown sucks
