GDT: Jays Coaching Couch - Game 2 - Oilers v Canucks - 8 PM SN, HNIC

[Bryanbryoil]

Why start Skinner when the team absolutely laid an egg in front of Campbell? Skinner better do well or he should be the #2 for awhile because he was shit in relief and the preseason.

I’m curious how much a goaltending coach makes. May not be enough to entice good coaches and former oilers like Essensa or Ranford to come back here over alternatives. Or maybe Katz isn’t willing to pay up. Or maybe the Oilers legit think Schwartz is the best guy for the job.

Could be a pride thing, I don't know. Many of the Oilers hires don't make sense.

The Canucks have a very good goalie coach and that's part of the reason they usually have a goalie or two that's better than what we have.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

The nuges are ready

Yeh Canucks. Boston is another organization that always seems to find and develop goalies, Essensa's been there for years.

The plan was always Skinner for game 2 apparently

The nuges are ready

Can't believe Nuge is 30 and a dad. Time goes by so fast.

VD was probably our best Dman last game. I’d be scratching any of the 5 other guys that player last game over him.

Lol at the dogs in the back,
look like they have more of a fight than any players had last time.

 

[quickfeet]

Nuge gets a pass to be an absolute no show once again tonight

 

[T-Funk]

Nuge gets a pass to be an absolute no show once again tonight

That pass lasted 12 years. I gotta track down one of these passes

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Bettman wanting an NFL style draft is proof of how much of a narcissist he is. He wants the draft to be all about him.

 

[Cloned]

How did Ekholm get a hip injury during the offseason anyway?

inb4 someone says “too much thrusting.” Although that would fit the theme of this GDT.

Went from a hip flexor to a groin injury.

Not good.

He needs to sit for 3 weeks. Just heal.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Oh wait, one more

Skinner makes even his son cry...

Apparently the Oilers gave him a new training program different from what he's always done and he hurt his hip because he wasn't used to doing it.

 

[helloconga]

Actually really an important game for the oil tonight … must win tbh.

 

[Shizuka]

These assholes better show up tonight.

 

[Mav3rick07]

Is Ekholm playing ?

What is this Nuge slander. Dude had over a 100 points last year.

“It’s a thing that went on over the summer. I’ve had one training program for 12 years, more than that, (then) you come to a new team with new trainers and new staff that implement new stuff and I think this was more just an accident.”

 

[Shizuka]

Is Ekholm playing ?

Seems like it? Even though it sounded like he is still nursing it a bit. I don't know why he or the team would force it if it's just going to exacerbate things. And of course, the geniuses on the team gave Ekholm a new training regimen which caused the issue in the first f***ing place. Bunch of f***ing idiots running this franchise, STILL.
