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

[Tobias Kahun]

Jackson LaCombe is +5 for the ducks

Not impressive, he’s spent all his minutes against a team with skinner/pickard as goslies

 

[Oilhawks]

Bob's been told that the goalies are staying as is. God help us.

They will be facing the wrath of Katz and the fans.

God help them.

Stauffer - if we don't get a goaltender, the playoffs will be a waste of 8 days.

That's a f***ing joke. You don't annoint a guy as your starter when he's .880.

It's irresponsible to leave this goaltending at it is.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Joaquin Gage and Bob Stauffer trying so hard to say a goalie isn't needed. Gage got angry at Stauffer. This is hilariously terrible

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Watching lazy Nurse let a guy get away and score a goal sums up this game. They don’t want to pay the price. And management is content with this goaltending?? We may be hooped.

Back to 9.25. f*** you Ken Holland.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Bob letting us know they're for sure not getting a goalie.

I turned it off. Is he actually saying this?!

 

[MessierThanThou]

Grow a pair, Bob.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Jackson LaCombe is +5 for the ducks

He looks awesome. Gudas too has straightened his game around. What a pairing. Ducks are generally GA disaster but whenever those two are on ice it seems to solidify.

 

[Oilhawks]

Stauffer - if we don't get a goaltender, the playoffs will be a waste of 8 days.

That's a f***ing joke. You don't annoint a guy as your starter when he's .880.

It's irresponsible to leave this goaltending at it is.

Did he actually say that? Jesus he needs to call out the goaltending finally.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Turned on game, turned off game..not worth the headache today

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

A

With a NMC

Thanks Jeff.

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

Bob is turning into a clown 1 game at a time.

Wrong.

Bob's been a clown for a long time.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

I turned it off. Is he actually saying this?!

Yes, they're going all in on hoping Skinner is that guy. Said they're going to try and add a D instead.

 

[FlameChampion]

I remember in previous years when this team used to be fun to watch

 

[MoontoScott]

Bob letting us know they're for sure not getting a goalie.

He actually said this? I've been busy watching the joint address (aptly named).

 

[McShogun99]

What did Jeff Skinner do wrong this game to get scratched for Thursdays game?

 

[McTonyBrar]

Joaquin Gage and Bob Stauffer trying so hard to say a goalie isn't needed. Gage got angry at Stauffer. This is hilariously terrible

 

[Dirk Dangler]

What the hell is Gage talking about? Skinner has been the anointed starter for 2.5 years. Hes not some rookie that needs his chance to be named starter. This club is just completely clueless with goaltending.

 

[foshizzle]

“Time to let Skinner run with the ball” f***- Skinner has been the number 1 goalie for 2 years- what the hell is Gage talking about.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Stan Bowman is standing behind the camera staring down Bob and Joaquin.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

BowJack smiles.

f*** both of these idiots. Fire them before the deadline.

Arvidsson also has a shot on goal. I missed it. Was it taken in the offensive zone?

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Yes, they're going all in on hoping Skinner is that guy.

No way. No f ing way. Unbelievable. Un be fing lievable.

 

[BIeucheeseWithWings]

Did he actually say that? Jesus he needs to call out the goaltending finally.

Muhammad, Buddha and Krishna need to get in there too and call them out. Bring the wrath of all the sky gods.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

I understand that poor goaltending can be deflating, but if our leadership can't keep the team focused and tight through the softies, then that's a bigger problem. The Ducks look like 10x the team we are, that's f***ed.

The issue is that this team can't handle a forecheck, and are too slow to break out with speed and forecheck themselves.

They're trying to turn into a possession team that has zero ability to leave the perimeter, and roster that, year after year, cannot shot from any type of distance.

Yes, the goaltending isn't good, but we lost 4 of our top 5 fastest skaters in the summer, and morphed into the slowest and oldest team in the league overnight.

We can't even generate rush chances anymore, that used to be our bread and butter. Mangement f***ed this team composition up and nothing is going to change for years to come at this point.

 

[Ibanez]

Well, gentlemen--there are about 48 hours left to make a move.

That said-- all is not lost, there is still a lot of talent on the team. I'm not sure why the guys are putting in such little effort. Is it a maturity problem--don't know to be honest.

I wish I had your optimism

We are the paper tigers in my eye
