GDT: LIII | "On Repe-pe-pe-pe-peat" | Oilers @ Habs | 10:30AM | 2.12.23 | SNW

[CycloneSweep]

Just dumb coaching deciding to play Skinner 2 of the last 3 road games, no reason Soup shouldnt of played against Philly, Skinner vs sens and Soup playing tonight.

Jesus you are a broken record.

 

[Leonardlizard]

Skinner gets shafted by the team as a whole... They play weak infront of him... Campbell they come out blazing.

 

[Oilhawks]

Bouchard on the Petry arc with hfboards oil it feels like.

Yeah he’s had a tough game defensively but also has two points. But the worst player on the nice I guess? Weird

 

[CupofOil]

Bouchard on the Petry arc with hfboards oil it feels like.

He should be called out for his garbage play this season, mostly due to lack of effort/brain farts. Doesn't mean he should be given away but it should be noted when he makes mistakes of which there have been too many this season.

 

[ZJuice]

Nurse is a bigger hindrance to this team than Bouch. Why don’t we pile on that guy?

 

[RegDunlop]

The roadrunner looks good!

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Not blaming Skinner for the last one, but he’s been the second best goalie in the game. Not sharp, much like the rest of the team.

Exact same thing we said about the loss against Philly, or the lost again Columbus.

3 team we should beat 9 time out of 10

 

[oobga]

Classic oilers game. Don't try until you're down 3-0 and other team starts to hang back a bit. Then effort goes again if you score a couple and other team starts playing again. Throwback to the Tambo age

 

[CycloneSweep]

Road game that they are behind by one after two. Yes they should be throttling these guys, but I will take this at this point. Play the next 20 minutes like your Super Bowl Watch party depends on it, boys!

We are down 2

 

[CupofOil]

Nurse is a bigger hindrance to this team than Bouch. Why don’t we pile on that guy?

You don't think Nurse get piled on.... around here? Really? He's the most hated Oiler by a country mile.

Might want to check the score again, down by 2. Pretty sad effort against a team missing 10 guys and firmly entrenched in the lottery race.

Yeah I’m definitely not blaming skinner for this one. He def isn’t playing awesome but neither is the team in front. Takes a whole team. And the boys in front have firmly shit their pants.

 

[dssource]

Refs giving the oilers plenty of chances to keep this game close but oilers always seem to lose the special teams battles against teams with a really bad pk.

 

[elmeroil]

I still think they have a chance

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

He’s had a shit game too. It’s just white noise at this point.

Skinner made 36/37 saves against Philly, what are you on about? Philly was 1-8 in OT going into that game. He can't score goals.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

How is nurse a 9.25 million defenseman

 

[TKB21]

I know I’m stating the obvious here but we really needed to kill that last penalty. How the players couldn’t see this was a pivotal point and didn’t come out like gang busters on that PK is so infuriating.

Oh. I got the impression he has a lot of lovers here. Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of harping about on Ceci, Bouchard, and Barrie..

 

[Duder54]

He’s not (except on paper).

It’s a shame, at even $7m, nobody on here is complaining about him. But, given his contract, he deserves the criticism.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Yeah I’m definitely not blaming skinner for this one. He def isn’t playing awesome but neither is the team in front. Takes a whole team. And the boys in front have firmly shit their pants.

Yeah like if we were outplaying them and outchancing them but it was 4-2 then absolutely I’d blame Skinner. But the defence is playing like trash, boys have generated f*** all 5v5 and are getting quite heavily outplayed even with a solid amount of Pp time.

This is a team fail and people singling out individual players is wild. Especially when Skinner has been the better goalie the past month even though he isn’t getting wins cause he gets frock all for offensive support when he plays. Campbell allows more goals but our team outscores that routinely. Skinner allows less goals but the boys forget how to play offence and defence.

 

[iCanada]

Just a completely needless penalty from Bouchard then follows it up with a shift killing pass. Not a good season for him, to say the least.

Idk, in spirit of the game that be happening on every shift.

 

[GOilers88]

He should be called out for his garbage play this season, mostly due to lack of effort/brain farts. Doesn't mean he should be given away but it should be noted when he makes mistakes of which there have been too many this season.

He's a young defenseman learning the game coming off a pretty good rookie season.

People ripping into him is just par for the course here. If this board had it's way the team would consist of like 4 players, and people would be complaining about the team losing.

They're 8-0-2 in their last 10, the only team in the west with a winning record over that span, and the typical "horseshit team, pretenders, garbage players" blah blah blah has made it's resurgance. People are just waaaayyy too overdramatic and emotional during games. It's seriously unhealthy.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Yeah, that 4th goal was deflating, but with the talent here I can see the Boys still winning this.

I predict one from Hyman & another from Kane. Winner will involve McDrai.

Good luck memes for the 3rd
