Post-Game Talk: Grinding out wins like we’re constipated

I agree. A takeaway is much different than a giveaway. One is an excellent play the other is a bone head play.
I also think that a penalized player in the box should get a minus if the team is scored on.
So Bouchard giveaways don't matter?
When McDavid trys a pass through 2 or three opponents i would classify that as a takeaway for the other team. If Bouchard passes it directly to the other team that is a giveaway. If McDavid passes it directly to the other team with nobody between it's a giveaway. I Draisaitl blindly backhands it to the blueline it may be a giveaway or a takeaway.
Would have to be a judgemental call. They are different.

11.5 million Shesterkin looked much worse than our favorite guy Stu Skinner in this game imo.
Goalies are so stupid man - never pay em!

They looked incredibly disinterested which is shocking for a team battling for their playoff lives. If any franchise needs an enema it's that one.
Not to take away from the Oilers who played a decent game but the Rangers sure made it easy on them.
Edit: The Rangers did play 3 in 4 nights and on a second of a back to back so perhaps that explains it

I only got to listen to the last half but was distracted by a lot. Did Skinner really get demoted to the 4th line after playing so well in the first?
This line of logic is just stupid, Arvidsson outplayed Panarin last night, guess scoring wingers are stupid also, never pay more than 4 million for a winger.
Very concerning. He's got a core injury. Nothing worse when it comes to mobility as well as complications.
Also, I have to think that, in a perfect word, podzilla sits when we get Frederic and Kane back. He's not bringing much of anything. I'm just worried about who slots in as 4C if Frederic moves up the lineup.
And you know Knobby is going to choose anyone else over Skinner.
Sure those matter, but just blindly pointing to the turnover number doesn’t tell the story.
So the lesson is - never start Skinner two games in a row?
lol oh lord comes into the thread posting sarcastic and antagonizing non sense and then plays the victim card.
You’re talking to the guy who blames McDavid and draisaitl any chance he gets while defending skinner.
"Snipe", now that's hilarious
Only on HFOil is this a considered a "snipe" and is being praised as some exceptional shot.The shot deflected off the dmans stick and changed direction, which handcuffed Shesty
If that goes in on Skinner, full meltdown on here.
The double standard on here continues to be strong
You get shit on for everything when you have been bad all season. This is nothing new or exclusive to Skinner."Snipe", now that's hilarious

Not sure what's the need to crap on one of the premiere goalies in the league. Even his worst season, his numbers is still better than any goalies we have right now."Snipe", now that's hilarious

Skinner had a good game. Let's leave it at that
He played the whole third period with McDavid
False. He played with McDavid in the 3rd period
I just realized Dallas has been less than mid with Rantanen. They needed a Dman not a forward. I think they needed a guy like Jake Walman.
I'm glad we stole him

The Stars are by far the least scary of the contending teams by a long shot IMO.
They lost to us last year because of poor defensive depth, and a total lack of physicality and intensity from their forwards. Exact same problems exist this year.
I missed most of the game but glad to see Jeff Skinner getting some opportunities with McDavid. He's looked really good for the last couple of months now. With the issues they're having scoring, maybe they'll just leave him with McDavid for the rest of the season and hope that they catch lightning in a bottle. Just need him to get hot for 20 games.
Guys like Rantanen don't come around every year. Dallas can get a #4 D in the offseason. And Heiskanen will be back in the playoffs.
There was at least three separate occasions where the Oilers completely lost the puck right in front of Skinner. They did not manage the puck well whatsoever.
