Post-Game Talk: Gonna Stu on this loss for a while

[Ninety7]

Too many zeroes across the board from the depth players… again.

you shouldn’t have to score 4 goals every night to win a game.

And when 3 of them come in the first 20 minutes there’s no coming back

But I’d love to hear your rebuttal.


You keep echoing the same shit like it’s some kind of zinger or some kind of “gotcha” moment.

 

[3IR]

bottom 9 not scoring, and skinner being the second best goalie.

name a more iconic duo.

 

[McFlyingV]

Oddly I'm not even mad after that loss like I was after game 1. Probably because I'm finally feeling hope that Skinner is done in the Oilers net. So done with this loser he f***ing sucks.

Oilers deserved this one and didn't get it, but you win game 4 and you're in a good spot.

We're not winning next round anyways with Skinner so lets see what Pickard has. If he shits the bed and we lose this round it won't matter because we aren't winning next round with Skinner in.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Not a f***ing chance

An outrageously good chance. They truly believe Skinner plays best after bad games so they will 100 give him the next start. He shouldn’t, but he will get it.

 

[MoontoScott]

Stu looked cooked since game #1 but Knob has to take share of whipping for not making a change.

Well, all is not lost. If they can get some average goaltending from Pickard in game #4 then it could become a best of 3 and we know that they can win one the road.

 

[RandomGuy79]

We are a 1 line team. Canucks shutting us down perfectly. We have no chance at coming back if no one else steps up.

 

[YakDavid]

Too many defensive lapses in the first. Didnt get any help from Skinner. Couldn’t score dispute tons of chances. Didn’t get any luck until the third goal around Vancouver’s net.

 

[bellagiobob]

I hope Zadarov gets something for being the third man in with a lower back crosscheck on McDavid after the final buzzer. Knowing the DO"PS", McDavid will get one and so will Zadarov

Probably a congratulatory phone call from Gary and a fruit basket.

 

[nexttothemoon]

If Oilers go back to the well with Skinner in game 4 with his 79.3% save pct in this series.. well .. they'll lose that as well.

Silovs is 88% and is still head and shoulders above what the Oilers have had in net.


Also... for f***'s sake... play Stecher... the guy is knows for his defense and the Oilers need defense.

I'd also play Gagner for some spark of offense in the bottom 6 and Carrick for some physicality.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Is Konovalov good now?

Had been putting up pretty good numbers in the K last 2-3 seasons but the K is a different animal. We will never know if he would have developed to the NA game, but I was high on him much more than the guy they groomed.

 

[ehhteen]

Silovs with more saves in this game alone than Skinner has all series combined.


Start Pickard the rest of the series and pray folks.

 

[dustrock]

Zadorov can do whatever he wants out there. I was calling for adding more toughness instead we add Perry who is too slow and not a true goon. A series like this we badly miss a guy like Kostin. The closest that we have is Erne. May as well dress him next game since our bottom 9 doesn't score anyway.

The NHL prefers it this way. I've said it a million times: those who think Michael Jordan got the benefit of the doubt on 10,000 calls. You're completely right. And who cares? I'm here to see the superstars, not some John Wick cannon fodder.

 

[snipes]

Devastating loss.

Series is likely over.

Skinner incapable of coming up big for us

 

[NegativeNelly]

We aren't winning anything with Skinner this year. Maybe in 2 years but not now. He cracks under pressure. I'd feel way more comfortable with Pickard than Skinner.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Silovs STOLE that game....Nucks didn't even try after the first but found a way

Oilers can't score 5 on 5 and they have no depth
Skinner isn't the guy...he wasn't against Vegas and isn't against the Canucks

 

[Not Canada Drai]

I'd rather have a 50 year old Mike Smith in net than what we have rn.

 

[McDrai]

Stauffer saying there is no way they don’t start Skinner next game.

Well gg then. I guess we can all do something else on Tuesday night if Skinner starts

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Well, that sucked. I hope they'll do better on tuesday.

 

[McWeber]

Throw Gagner in there. I feel like he would make the most of an opportunity to end his career on a high note.

 

[frag2]

It was so obvious. All I could think of after Vegas eliminated us was at least it’s finally crystal clear, Nurse-Ceci is a liability and goaltending is not good enough.

Depth scoring is another issue. We just need a decent f***ing gm that will make a move when a guy like Lafferty is just sitting there available.

Anyway, everyone, expect the worst in these games and it’ll sting a lot less. You never know what will happen in a series but don’t let this shit get you actually upset

Weren’t we gonna get Laff but then the team asked for VD and Holland said nah?

 

[McFlyingV]

Nuge missing the net with 3 seconds left from a prime shooting spot. Pretty much sums up his playoff career. He's a no show and he should be pretty embarrassed. And I've been one of the biggest Nuge supporters. He f***ing sucks in playoff hockey.

 

[CupofOil]

Don't get me wrong, Skinner is the main culprit but I will list these names...

RNH
Kane
Foegele
Perry
McLeod
Holloway
Janmark
Ryan
Brown
Nurse
Ceci
Kulak
Desharnais

All ghosts, all complete passengers especially RNH, getting really sick of him. As I said, Skinner is the main reason why they're losing this series because, well, obvious reasons but this team is like 90% passengers. It just shows the greatness of McDavid and Draisaitl that this team is winning any playoff games nevermind participating in the playoffs. This is Holland's "All In" team, it's not nearly good enough. It's the 8th best team in this playoffs currently. It's not like Skinner is sewering the Avs that are a much more deserving team, he's sewering a 2 man team.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Our empty net made more saves than Skinner tonight

Big brain bobby told me that the Oilers losing was due to our defensive play and that Silovs wasn't any better than Skinner.

jesus. The guy won't admit he's wrong either.

We gave up only 6 HDSC in that game. Skinner let in 4.

Skinner in only 8 periods has given up 12 goals. You can't win with that. For perspective Nucks only got 13 goals in their first round series in 6 games.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

That would be beyond idiotic. He’s had three f’in chances already.

Gotta try and prove that Schwartz is good at his job even if it costs us the season!

 

[booyakasha]

barn was rocking and they come out flat as f***!
