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

[foshizzle]

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

Add to that being the worst goalie against rush chances (per Steve Valiquette, clear sight analytics) - he can only save shots right at him…and sometimes not even those

 

[Ibanez]

Really should have shot that….

Kings will key in on the injured squad of players on the Oilers... that series will be brutal.

 

[Ibanez]

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.

Sorry my friend. I feel your pain. Literally!!!

 

[ohheyhemsky]

The f*** is going on out there?

 

[Hockeylife2018]

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

thats saying something...picks was rocking a solid .800 from the powerhouse sharks before some weak perimeter shots brought him back up

 

[RegDunlop]

Haven't found myself saying this often but....
Bouchard having a whale of a game

Jones is Jonesing!

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.

Well he is a big positional goalie, the rest is just fluff. But realistically what would you expect him to say.

Jones is doing something at least finally.

hitting posts and not scoring
a True Oiler

 

[K1984]

Don’t call that.

Make sure you call the McDavid books though.

 

[brentashton]

Max jones with the best chance this period.



Let that sink in for a moment.

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

I think it shortens the careers of many and the wear and tear is often felt in the post retirement years.

The other solution would be to eliminate the pre-season because the hockey is virtually unwatchable.

 

[K1984]

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.

And end the season the first week of June at the latest.

 

[YakDavid]

That’s a trip

 

[Tobias Kahun]

"He was falling down too"

No, thats a f***ing trip

Those posts are busy tonight.

Sure. But these aren’t old timer games we’re watching..

 

[MessierThanThou]

HOW BIG ARE THE f***ING GOAL POSTS?!

 

[nexttothemoon]

That was quite the pre power play power play,

 

[Oilslick941611]

The Sharks have no business being in this game. The lack of finish this year is whats holding the team back. Its a problem thats outlived the injury issues.

 

[Cloned]

What is Louie’s fascination with how long the ref has his hand up?

 

[nexttothemoon]

The power play group is too tired to go on the PP now.

 

[OilerTyler]

The refs were generous to blow that down for San Jose. Diving and poking at the puck isn’t possession.
