GDT: Game #79: Sharks @ Oilers - 7:30 PM - SN1/360

[Ibanez]

What do you have?

Don't say mono.

lol no.

Had a brutal fever for two days. And 3 days later I’m still tired as heck and bleh.

Lots of people I know sick right now. Something gross going around

 

[foshizzle]

Gage just called S Skinner’s puck tracking elite…lollllll

 

[Drivesaitl]

Yikes. Probably the flu.

 

[Zerotonine]

Stfu gage, hate listing to the media blow smoke up are ass about the goaltending and try to tell us Skinner is good ffs

 

[MessierThanThou]

Did Gage just say Picks should start the playoffs?!

Well...Bob poured water on that. f***ing hell.

EDIT: I caught the last bit of Gage's take and missed the part where he named all of Stu's amazing abilities we have yet to see this season!

 

[McDrai]

These injuries are becoming total bullshit and frustrating.

There’s no chance we win it all this season due to injuries. Too many banged up players. It is what it is.

Backup recognizes backup

 

[Shathar]

Hyman got hit while extending his torso trying to get around a guy. would be surprised if he didn't break a rib or two. I didn't see what happened to Ekholm?

He used the term “elite”

Gage was barely an AHL player.

Broken ribs take forever to heal, hope it's not that.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

let me guess...Oilers getting "goalied" by some random opposing scrub...same as it ever was

Don’t kink shame.

But we absolutely had to trade a 2nd rounder for another injured player. Just had to do it.

 

[MoontoScott]

The whole group is just tapped whether they are injured or not.

If things don’t go the right way this year, and at this point it appears we would need a miracle for it to happen, it may end up being a good thing in the long run. An off season where key players can properly address injuries and rehab. We only had a 2 month off season last year after a playoff run that ended with the team banged up. I feel like we didn’t have enough time and then chased our game from the start.

IMHO the regular season is way too long. It will never happen, but 70 games would be better and would probably prolong the careers of guys who are north of 30.

Some of the Oilers are on the downslope but will still be a force in the playoffs.

 

[Zerotonine]

For his puck tracking to fking boot. Common ffs that's one of his worst qualities in net

 

[MessierThanThou]

You know the more you think that, his lateral movement, and his total lack of rebound control, Stu really is just...big.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Oilers have been dominating. Some massive overreactions on here. Want some comedy? Read the bipolar high on the first 8 pages to the depressed low the last 8- quite hilarious. Literally laughing out loud

Oh be nice.

I'm positive its Friday and people will come around. Its an early start, nobody got their drink on.

 

[Vagabond]

lol no.

I woke up with a scratchy throat and it has now progressed to a severely sore throat and a headache. Just in time for the weekend.

Just need the main cogs healthy before it starts. LA isn't the most skilled but their big and dirty (Doughty)

 

[rboomercat90]

What an odd description of Stuart Skinner from Joaquin Gage. He described him as a positional goalie who uses his size well, swallows up rebounds and is an elite puck tracker. I can’t remember the last time I heard such nonsense. These are the exact three things he gets criticized for the most. I’m surprised he didn’t say he was great moving the puck too. I’ve never had an opinion of Gage as a commentator one way or another in the past but he’s been down right embarrassing the last two times I’ve seen him interviewed during the intermission.

 

[MessierThanThou]

I hope Pickard locks it down because I have less than zero confidence in Stu for the postseason.

Except, it’s the same number of games for every team. So this only applies to old, slow teams.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Whenever Michaels talks about an opposing team struggling in an area of the game u just assume that’s going to be bad news for us real quick

True but as you get older the body just doesn't recover as fast. What took 2 weeks a few seasons ago takes at least a month now.

Hopefully Drai can go come next weekend because I don't think they can beat the Kings without him.

He's right though, Skinner always knows where the puck is....
