wow...Wings won. Albert Johansson looking like the real deal on that 2nd pair. Wonder if he plays up with Seider after Chiarot is gone.

 

[syz]

Did you see the Oiler's goals?

Yea and I also saw the Wings giving up 2-on-1s for an entire OT against the Oilers and somehow not get scored on.

lol are you kidding?

It’s literally OT hockey and it happens to every team

Lol

I'm just saying in terms of luck, the Oilers goals were on some fortunate bounces.

They somehow didn't get scored on because they broke up the 2 on 1s and their goalie made saves.

 

[MessierThanThou]

I guess I'm a Skinner stan when my entire being doesn't revolve around criticizing him 24/7. I certainly didn't have that marked down on my bingo card for today.

When your only contribution in this thread is you splitting hairs to the extent of "he's playing well this very minute," it's hard to assume anything else. Also, pretty sure you've made posts like this before.

I know you're accustomed to almost unprecedented mediocrity being a Riders fan, but I'd like to see the Oilers actually win a Cup with McDrai.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

By all means, keep underestimating the Wings. I’m fine with it.

Lol the Oilers might not have even gotten shots on net. Nurse missed an empty net and McDavid of all people somehow bobbled the other ones.

Wow, the Wings are within striking distance of the WC. Didn’t realize that.

You think that's surprising, wait until you see the Islanders. They caught me off guard

Debrincat also missed a completely open net late in the 3rd. Game was pretty even.

The collective mediocrity of the eastern conference has resulted in literally everybody being within striking distance of the WC.

Except Buffalo. They're still finding a way. Somehow.

It's been a tale of two seasons. Now with Mclellan coaching they look like an actual NHL team.

Yea, it’s basically everyone but Buffalo, and the Pens (tho they aren’t far off).

It’s gonna come down to the last week

I hope the pack stays this close together, makes for good entertainment..and also WC teams already in playoff mode going into the playoffs can lead to some surprising upsets in the first round

The West looks worse since there are only 4 teams at or above .500 in the WC race.

In the East you have 7. You can call it mediocrity or just parity. Whereas a huge portion of the West is plain bad.

 

[Coffey]

Skinner sucks. He’s really bad. Carried to a game 7 Cup final because of defense.

Lotta teams in the east would look a lot worse if they had to play more of their seasons against the top teams in the west.

You're wrong.

We had a Game 7 partially because of his terrible play in the first three games...

East is far more competitive than the West. Collectively they have higher end teams losing through the playoffs.

And now you have 2 Skinners

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Everybody is ragging on Stu Skinner, but nobody else won tonight with only 2 goals (although Vegas/Columbus looks like it is going that way).

 

[deca guard]

- that oil ice was iffy tonite , seemed to be lots of bobbling pucks
- mcdavids a great player but i dont have an opinion about him as a captain . mean while i observe larkin and think this guy is a GREAT captain who keeps his team fired up and on the same page
- albert johansson is very good on d side of puck

I must have really touched a nerve for their to be a Rider shot in here, lol. I'll take mediocrity over whatever it is the Elks existence would fall under .

I am also fully aware that Skinner is one of the Oilers biggest question marks heading into the postseason, you just need to learn to expand your horizons on things to complain about. Throw in some Arvidsson complaints once in a while, criticize Stauffer's hair, something, anything. Expand those creative horizons.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Knights and Jackets each get a point.

The East has far more bubble teams, and the West has the elite teams and the crap teams, and not much in between.
