Post-Game Talk: Literally shooting yourself in the foot

[CupofOil]

You are f***ing blind

Oh yeah? Tell me how the final goal was all Skinner's fault?
I happen to think he sucks and was a complete goof on the first goal but please tell me how I'm blind for seeing that the final goal was a total team failure?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

People need to not blame drai for that. Have some common sense he's won entire series on his own skills.

What the f***ing hell was skinner doing giving Theodore half the net (he missed on) and then trying leave his net in the last second.

Skinner winless in the playoffs. Just know if pickard is in net he doesn't do anything stupid and we win. Fml skinner is the worst.

And hes trying to lose this series with how hes playing.

 

[DrDrai]

Does nurse know he can stay on his skates?!

This loss is 100% on skinner, I don’t care what anyone says. Chasing a guy out of his crease!?!

Just stay in your net and make the save.

 

[Oilhawks]

To Skinner “better learn Chinese”

 

[NedPlimpton]

Skinner had the opportunity to show how he wants the net and was willing to fight for it.

He did not do that and is showing he can’t be here next year.

yep.

That's the thing. I was fully onboard with wanting to see/hoping to see a great performance. I always want that.

Like, I'm not a hater exactly , but the guy has so many critics (rightfully so) and you'd think he'd be the most dialed in and commit to making simple strong plays and have something to prove.

And then it's just....that.

It's f***ing tiring.

 

[OilerTyler]

Do we know anything about the severity of Pickard's injury?

Knob said day to day. Hopefully he’s back for game four.

 

[Shizuka]

They f***ing failed their defensive assigments once again, on the 1st and 2nd LV goals... and also once again, Skinner could not, did not, come up with crucial saves that Pickard has most definitely been making. They then started turtling and going into a shell defensively, precisely because of these two reasons.

And Draisaitl was DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE on both the 3rd and 4th goals. He and his two wingers decided to change when the puck was in our half of the ice in the neutral, when the bench is closer to their blue line, and they are gassed and couldn't have made it back in time anyways. They even dogged it back to the bench. I don't care how tired you are, stay out and defend. It doesn't take a hockey savant to instantly recognize the danger, just stay on the f***ing ice and defend. And the 4th goal was going wide and he decides to tip it in. f***ing awful game from him. I think this is the ONE time I might let that douchebag Spector get a pass and ask a one of his asshole questions of Draisaitl... like asking him WTF he was thinking on both of those goals. God awful showing by Draisaitl.

Pickard can't come back quickly enough, I sure as hell hope it's day to day and not a serious long term thing because this team's psyche is incredibly fragile playing in front of Skinner. They walk on eggshells, they don't defend well in front of him, and he does not save these defensively inept morons from themselves with timely saves.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Because they hate playing in front of skinner and aren’t the same team when he’s in net.

No offense but I would hate that too

They have a pro league there?

 

[The Moose]

This is much more on Draisaitl than on Skinner. Shitty way to lose.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Knob said day to day. Hopefully he’s back for game four.

Even if he isnt.

Skinner cant be the starter next game.

 

[Oilers88]

We've looked like shit for 2 games in a row. Horrific puck management, no intensity. Dial the f*** in guys

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Bounces in the third evened out. McNabb scored a goal for us, Draisaitl a goal for them. Did not look like we deserved to win that third, and outside of 10 mins of the first, looked like the second best club. Vegas is a good club, so are we. Defence wasn't good enough, Skinner wasn't good enough, and Draisaitl was the worst of all. Confident two of those three will bounce back for next game.

Wish we took that concept of beating ourselves a little less literal.

Who cares. Skinner was terrible again. He could have battled and shown he didn’t want to give up the net. He didn’t. Let’s hope pickard is ready to go next game.

 

[foshizzle]

So I guess Knob didn’t learn from game 1 of the LA series and having 97/29 out there with 6 seconds left trying to win it

Also Nurse going down instead of playing defence

 

[iCanada]

On the bright side - Skinner's .833 tonight actually somehow managed to improve his post season totals.

What a f***ing circus.

Just stay in the f***ing net and the game is going into OT in a bit. He literally put the puck in the slot by knocking it down like cmon…

 

[94 Oil Drops]

I can’t stress enough how different a 3-0 series lead is than a 2-1 series lead. I hate to be over dramatic but I truly believe in my heart that the season is over if that disgrace Skinner continues playing

Oh mark my words. Vegas absolutely will take this in 6 if Pickard is not in that net for the next few games.

It was a team failure lead by our 2 stars and supposed leaders.

nice giveaway by McDavid with 10 seconds left.

They turn into absolute braindead idiots.

 

[Heavy Dee]

This was actually on Nurse. He went for the hit and didn't care about the puck.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Ugh, this is stupid, so damns stupid

 

[OilerTyler]

This is much more on Draisaitl than on Skinner. Shitty way to lose.

It’s on everyone that was on the ice during that sequence. I don’t know how you have a defensive coverage breakdown that bad with 10 seconds left in the game. Skinner obviously didn’t play it well either.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Skinner and Drai committing hockey suicide tonight.

C'mon. That play is instinctive and D would do it too. Puck is going across an empty net and there is no way in real time to know that puck isn't going in. Its a reaction play, and every player will try to bat that away. Didn't work out.

I'm sure theres going to be enough Drai hate tonight. Forget about his MVP level season,

Skinner was the goalie that allows that complete nothing play with hardly any time left to go right through him. All Skinner has to do there is stay in cage. But he's an idiot so we lost the game.

4more GA by Skinner in 20sog.

What a save % and GAA.

Skinner 0-3 in playoffs.

The other guy is 6-0


Oilers deserved to lose tonight, as a team. They were outworked all over the ice for 3 periods. We're even getting hockey gods miracle stuff with own goal to tie in a game were bringing nothing.

 

[Faelko]

Everybody on the ice managed to f*** up on that goal lol. Pretty insane. Karlsson can't just be allowed to enter wide like that, that pass can't be allowed to be centered, Skinner can't chase the puck into the corner, and Drai can't tip the puck into his own net.
