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

[russ99]

Gibson isn't just marginally better than Skinner.

It's like going from Marc Arcobello to Ryan O'Reilly.

That .888 save percentage last year screams all star lol

 

[ArthurAnyMoreDonuts]

Well if what Bob said is true, I'm not watching another game this season.

 

[NeverForget06]

Put Nuge and Hyman on a milk jug those guys are MISSING !

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Sell sell sell the team Daryl.

 

[LTIR]

Why not just boo management instead? They're the ones who f***ed up.

Can't really boo management.. but booing a goalie is much easier.

"We want a goalie" chant might be nicer than booing our goalie

Need to move one or both before they really start to fall off and turn into boat anchor contracts.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

This feels like a players only meeting type game. Hoping they pull their collective heads out of their asses.

It's outrageous that they need to do this at all. This is so wildly immature from a "veteran" group.

Management will bring in Jack Campbell 2.0 and McDavid will leave.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Not that I actually think this will happen but what if we miss and Trent Frederic plays zero games as an Oiler?

It’ll just be a slightly better version of the AA trade.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

The game is blacked out here, wtf is going on? Does management think that we need a goalie yet or is their head so far up Schwartz and Skinner's ass that they are blinded by his brown eye moustache?

Pickard was the starter, BBO.

An 888 on an awful year where him playing bad was good for the team. Still better than Skinner.

 

[LTIR]

Maybe the problem isn’t the goaltending…. Maybe it’s the culture, goalie coaches, defensive coaching…

I agree but you can't really bench Draisaitl or Bouchard.

Drai was literally the closest Oiler in atleast 3 of the goals against.

The team is playing the same way they did last season before the coach was fired

Well Bob saying they aren't trading for a goalie

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

They should refund everyone that showed up tonight, pathetic stuff

 

[MessierThanThou]

And what do we get, a different, marginally better goalie with a big mess in front of him.

There’s no Vezina candidate out there we can acquire to cover up for myriad blown plays.

You really don't get it. We don't need a Vezina candidate to upgrade on two AHL GOALIES.

Tristan Jarry is also coached by Dustin Schwartz...months ago he was being considered for Team Canada. Two months ago he was demoted to the AHL. He was widely considered to be more gifted than Skinner. Is it making sense yet?

It was Pickard in net. Oilers came out great. First goal was meh. Second goal was meh, team got shaky 3 and 4 were awful. Skinner started the 2nd.

Well, if Stauffer is anything to go by, we need to buckle up and hope for 8 days of playoff action.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Pickard was the starter, BBO.

Yeah and Skinner has 2GA in 15 shots last I checked.

They played great for 8 minutes, 2 bad goals, team folded.

 

[K1984]

Am I insane or did our slide start right when we added Klingberg? Troy Stecher is the one true #2RHD

This.

It could be a coincidence, but our trash play started basically the second he joined the team.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Okay, weird to put this game on the guy that came in when it was already decided but sure.

Bob let us know there will be no trade for a goalie.

 

[MessierThanThou]

It's up to the tier 1 fans and media to make Oilers management change their mind.

A loud booing of Skinner will change their mind in a hurry..the boos chased plenty other goalies out of town in past, Dubnyk, Talbot , Koski etc

Then they need to boo even louder because all of those goalies were better than Skinner and he's still here and still dragging this team with him into the gutter.

 

[Frank the Tank]

This recent stretch of poor games has significantly increased the price for the Oilers acquiring a goalie.
