Post-Game Talk: Kucherov’s “no move” move, meet Skinner’s “no save” save

[TheNumber4]

Stu talking like he predicted the no move move lol.

Dude it’s ok to admit you got lucky lmao.

Lol maybe he did. Kuch has used it before…

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Maturity.

Fantastic team defending game. Skinner make the saves required behind a complete 200 foot team effort. Just enough offense to squeeze out a playoff style game. Nurse's stretch pass to Draisaitl on the winner was a thing of beauty. The blue liner brought another strong, complete game.

Need to get the PP going. They had critical situation opportunities to put daylight onto a game they were the better team within. Little tiny quibble about late game defensive zone face-off losses but the team defending and goaltender held strong.

Big win with a lot of composure and structured, disciplined play across the roster.

Jack babbling about Glendenning being the only right hand shot … barely recovers before the puck is in the net. The situation with Oilers broadcasting is tragic.

I mean to be fair to Jack, he starts when the puck is in the safest spot it possibly could be.

 

[TheNumber4]

Scraping out these close, low scoring wins and collecting 2 points is great to see at this point in the season.

Bodes well for the playoffs too. Keep learning how to win these.

 

[KCC]

Solid game all around by the entire team. Everyone was in sync and worked hard. Skinner was great again. Wish I could say that about him more often but it’s nice to see him locked in lately.

Huge win against TB who had the 4th best goals differential in the NHL coming into the game... and with a Vezina goalie in net.

This hopefully gives the Oilers some confidence that they can hang with the best teams in the league and not just have to get their wins against the bottom half of the league.

Nurse is playing like his COVID year but better defensively

I think playing with guys he can trust and rely on is making a major difference. He and Kulak look great together and Stetcher does well in spots too.

He's got his swagger back and it's great.

 

[iCanada]

Over under on how much the Canadian media mentions Draisaitl leading the league in goals set at 0.5 times before our next game.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I mean to be fair to Jack, he starts when the puck is in the safest spot it possibly could be.

The problem is Jack shouldnt start.

 

[McHelpus]

Smells like 16-0 hockey time again.

Feel like a win against Minnesota should count as 10 tbh

I mean to be fair to Jack, he starts when the puck is in the safest spot it possibly could be.

And he also interrupts himself and Louie when the critical time comes… a talent many broadcasters don’t possess. He’s light years ahead of so many others, mofos ought to be thankful. Jack spent too long vamping for time with Ole Boob on radio but again it’s better to have some colour than boring empty air, even if it’s WWE nonsense. A lot of broadcasters are so bad in so many ways. Jack meanders a little when games are boring but he never loses the thread, he knows what’s important and what’s just bullshit time filler. (Unlike Bob)

 

[McDeepika]

This team is pretty hard to beat when they get saves. Skinner has been solid lately.

 

[TheNumber4]

Just barely a dent in the GSAx tonight for Stu. Pretty much identical to Vasi’s.

In tight rebound chances seem overinflated on there, I swear. And we keep clearing the net front for Stu.

 

[Messrules11]

6 wins in 7 games now, that’s more like it. Bury a few of those breakaways and this would have been smooth sailing.
Minnesota next.

 

[Soundwave]

Knob/Coffey are low key defensive geniuses. The team is some how top 10 in goals against/game with benefit of no star goalie or franchise D-Man ala a Pronger and a forward corps that was known for "defense optional" play previously and that's with the Emberson/Stetcher duo that some people were so sure wouldn't work.

We're now down to 2.85 goals against per game, which I believe moves us past Vegas to 8th best in the league for goals against/game.

Take out the first 2-3 games when were hung over from Cup Final and we're probably top 5 in the league for goals against per game since then.

Now offensive adjustments ... Knob probably still has things to work on as a young coach, I have a few gripes there, but defensively the job he has done with this group is impressive. Dude is a freaking genius, there's very few coaches who could get these results IMO.

 

[iCanada]

The problem is Jack shouldnt start.

He probably should know at this point that 97 can do remarkable things in remarkably little time, fair.

I also just think it's hilarious that that goal call will always have the Glendening stat adorned to it.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

great defensive win....outside the Kucherov chance, they locked it down in the 3rd
TB is a scary good team and the Oilers hung in there

oh, and finally beat a good team

Oh right Minnie is coming up

I mean, whatever, Stu was the better of the 2 tonight and that's what mattered.

He was great tonight, looked so calm, cool and strong.
