GDT: Game #64: Oilers @ Sabres - 5 PM - SNW

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Bowman didn’t really have an excellent goalie option that wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. I just hope he has an off season plan.. swinging big for Rantanen says something to me, he’s not looking to tinker.

But I still think he should have just got ANY average goalie.. goalies are voodoo right? Get another option in case the current guys falter.

All we can hope is Skinner goes on a heater and the defense is near perfect. PK will have to somehow be outstanding again for us to get far

Tuch is a 16% shooter with 24 goals on the season so far and he walked right into home plate. Why don't the other goalies stop his nothing shots?

Yeah tuch has a laser. We'd all be jumping out of the way too.

Bouch!

 

[Missing smitty]

So the best player in the world allows his check to walk into one right in the slot and the goaltender is at fault! Get f’d

Skinner gets literally zero benefit of the doubt at this point. Not every mistake absolves the goalie from doing his job.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

UPL never had that puck. Quick whistle.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Better than your eyes

Yes yes
If we had a real goalie he’d be winning this game 3-0..yawn

 

[RattsSSV]

Nice one Bouch

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

His positioning is just embarrassing

He moves across the ice like syrup

 

[North]

Be for real. Skinner needs to make an effing save.

No team or player is going to be perfect but Skinner can’t even play his position consistently.

Not going to lie, I partly still come to this board for comedy like this...

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Finally bouch on the PP.

 

[Sanchez]

There's the Bouch bomb!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Bouchbomb

 

[russ99]

I’ll take that. Bouch bomb.

 

[NedPlimpton]

good

 

[tardigrade81]

Bouch!! 2-2

Might have shot that harder than I could have. Hard to say

 

[Murphinator]

Okay tied again. Need some saves and better D now

 

[KCC]

That shot gets stopped by 999/1000 goalies. Stu instead tries to leap forward like a kid on a trampoline for the first time

I don’t blame him for that goal. That close in, all the time in the world to pick your spot. That was a perfect shot. But you need your starter to make those saves and at times steal a game. He does neither.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

2nd PP goal all year for Bouch.. that just sounds wrong. Absolute bomb though, love to see Bouch when he’s on

 

[BlackDogg]

You just earned 0 more powerplays Oilers.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Yeah, I've never seen a shot from the high slot be stopped by a goalie....

Guess you need to watch more hockey. I can't help you there.

 

[dssource]

Bouch bomb! Finally a pp goal for him!

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

f*** crooked eyes and helmet after that goal for bouch

 

[Cloned]

Skinner vs Skinner in goal tonight

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Goalie loaded the wrong leg, thought it was going back to Draisaitl, had to take that split second to push right.

Nice job, McDavid recognizing the over play to Drai.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

And? You think analytics tell the entire story?

Analytics and the eye test both say the same thing to me
