GDT: Game #69 - Jets@Oilers - 7PM - A Celebration Of Life

[syz]

How many icings is that tonight? Like 10 at least?

 

[BudBundy]

Ehlers offseason training…

 

[Tobias Kahun]

How many icings is that tonight? Like 10 at least?

all of them

James Reimer could've been had for a bag of pucks but I guess Stu's feelings were more important than the team's security in net.

Something something something salary cap.

 

[CROTT]

I'm being sarcastic

goalie let out rebounds...defensemen need to clear those

lol call you out when another goalie does it, but your Skinners relative when a team does the shot pass and the team defends like their waiting for an ETS bus.

 

[iCanada]

This! I brought this up all the damn time. There were multiple reasons to get another goalie. A huge one is injury insurance. We don't have a real option in the AHL. Not yet.

Plus of course, why not hedge the position in case the other two are slumping?

Or you know... Recognize that Skinner ain't it?

 

[tardigrade81]

Please just get to OT at least. Getting a point tonight would be a minor miracle.

This !

 

[TKB21]

Just turned on the game, looks like the jets did us a solid on skin job

 

[29Beast97Mode]

One can hope

I like Pickard but coming in cold is scary.

Only myself and a handful of goalies are capable of doing this

Yeah I was gonna say a warmup? You wouldn't even need that. Not even sure you'd need skates.

 

[Pip]

Pods is the right guy to make Pickard look real good

Thought that was funny as well. Wonder if he does a lot of the goalie shooting drills at practice. Could explain some things.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Ehlers offseason training…

Also Stu Skinner's training.

 

[McDoused]

Louie Debrusk needs find a new job

Right. How are they not livid right now? Always defending the other team and the refs.

 

[russ99]

Something something something salary cap.

Oilers had to go into LTIR to complete the moves they made. And I’m still not sure how Frederic comes in during the season and staying under the cap.

 

[Canovin]

Jeff Skinner hat trick. 2 goals- enforcer and going to play net for Stuart

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

lol call you out when another goalie dows it, but your Skinners relative when a team does the shot pass and the team defends like their waiting for a ETS bus.

every goal against Skinner is Skinner's fault

every goal we score is "amazing battle in front! sick shot! just going to the hard areas!"

lol

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Whoa good recovery Nurse. Jet got a step on him but got his stick to deflect the puck out of play. Love the effort.

 

[Vagabond]

Oil better off without Stu. Sucks to say but he's been so bad this season.

 

[Oilslick941611]

as does blaming McDrai for the reason we didnt win the cup.

No one is personally blaming them for not winning, goal scoring is a team thing.

Also even if they were thats not a personal attack on a poster or an insult.

And also because it needs to said or I’ll be called a bootlicker, saying the oilers needed to score more goals in game 7 isnt defending skinner in anyway, nor is it singling out mcdrai, who were clearly very injured.

 

[Gnome17]

Right. How are they not livid right now? Always defending the other team and the refs.

And a couple times this game he has just disappeared and not responded when Jack throws the ball his way. So weird.

 

[brentashton]

Louie Debrusk needs find a new job

I want Drew Remenda back as a colour guy….

 

[Mr Positive]

Or you know... Recognize that Skinner ain't it?

That's my call too but I can respect Bowman for making a choice to go with Skinner. He put his stamp on that decision so we'll see how it goes. I don't have the same opinion about injury insurance. It's just irresponsible. It's not like other positions. We are missing two important centers right now but at least we have NHL talent to cover things

 

[MessierThanThou]

Oh Christ, Bowman and his goalie shortage. No one saw that coming.

Rodrigue has literally never played an NHL game and got swiss-cheesed in the preseason, and Colin Delia is ASS, even by AHL standards.

"No options were available though," guys. Even tough Jamie McClennan, who must be reading our posts, specifically suggested getting Reimer as a third choice...

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Whoa good recovery Nurse. Jet got a step on him but got his stick to deflect the puck out of play. Love the effort.

Nurse has been below average tonight...made a good play there

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Skinner will be back.
