Post-Game Talk: Literally shooting yourself in the foot

[McShogun99]

there was 6 mistakes on that game winning goal.

McDavid with a stupid turnover, Kulak useless, Nurse and the other forward on their bellies, Skinner going to the bathroom, and then Draisaitl tucks it in.

I don’t know what the team was doing during the last 30 seconds. They completely abandoned structure to try and win the game in the last 30 seconds just like game 1 in LA. Why was Kulak pinching with 30 seconds left instead of just staying put.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Y'know credit where credit's due, Draisaitl is up there facing the music.

I know it's not exactly crazy criticism (it is our media) but in this era you don't see guys getting interviewed after scoring a buzzer beater GWG for the other team.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I share your frustration but I don't think Rodrigue is a viable solution. He doesn't seem to be an NHL goaltender either.

The whisp of hope is he’d go on a Binnington like run if Pickard is out longer.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Somehow Skinner was the 2nd best goalie tonight and Adin Hill was playing.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

They cannot win this if Stu keeps starting

They were perilously close to losing last game too. Their play was going to catch up to them sooner or later. Maybe this will inspire them to play better.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Leon in the post-game interview: "The quickness of the two of them deflated us a bit."

Same old story, but what's an Oilers loss without whack-a-mole posters to tell us "it's not his fault." 100% some of these people are in YEGWave videos...and probably eating floor.

Stupid coaching IMO.

 

[soothsayer]

Draisaitl with the all world dog shit game.

 

[TKB21]

Say what you want about skinner but Drai wears the goat horns tonight and was absolutely putrid from start to finish.

 

[scotchtapejr]

Would you want this guy back stopping you. Pathetic. Rodrigue or Pickard must play.

No accountability whatsoever. Take a short walk off a long pier you absolute clown.

 

[OilerMcLord]

What I wouldn’t give for a team with killer instinct. Maybe we need more vetera…

…never mind.

f***ing Oilers!

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Vegas was far better last game, a Pickard start and they cruise to a win.

They cannot win this series with Stu in goal.

 

[McAsuno]

What a surprise. Doesn’t take ownership once again for being main culprit #1 for a loss.
I never want to see Skinner play for the Oilers ever again.

 

[Duke74]

His entire game where he makes a great play up ice despite being double teamed on the play to spring McD and Perry for his first goal.

Or a great shot that hits iron. Or another good shot that barely misses.

In a tight game he had those. Was he his usual great self? no. Is this thread yet another ugly calling out of our best players that are really the only reason to watch? Yes.

I dunno. We seem to blame our superstars intead of an org that didn't address the goaltending which was the real story tonight. Starting from the first Vegas goal the Oilers were shaking their heads and McD did. They knew they were in a dogfight becuase of the doofus in net. Once again you need 5 goals to win if Skins is in net.

I love Draisaitl but he hasn’t been himself. Missing chances he usually buries, multiple turnovers and then that deflection…

 

[CupofOil]

I should have worded better because I was reacting to his interview. I have no idea why they are asking him questions

Nothing good ever comes from a Stuart Skinner interview. He doesn't seem to take losses particularly hard

 

[K1984]

Draisaitl with the all world dog shit game.

Skinner deserves the horns, but he’s right there with him.

Can’t skate because you’re hurt? Too bad, maybe don’t throw the puck around like an idiot to compensate.

 

[Oilhawks]

Rob Brown:

“Skinner made the big saves they needed.”

I can’t make this up.

Pejorative Slur Rob

I can’t make this up.

Rob Brown can f*** off!

 

[MoontoScott]

Possible but I don't think the Oilers have any confidence in Oliver.

Well, the Oilers put themselves in this position.

I think the boys will win on Monday night.

Draisaitl with the all world dog shit game.

Got 2 points

Would you want to go to ot with Skinner?

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Skinner is f***ing delusional.

Gave the team a chance. Get the f*** out of here.

Behind the calm, happy go lucky demeanor, his interviews scream arrogant f*** face who thinks his shit doesn’t stink. Most goalies would say “I should have had this goal or that goal, I’ll review the tape and see what I did wrong so I make the save next time.”

Skinner basically says “It’s not me who sucks, it’s everyone else.”

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Vegas was far better last game, a Pickard start and they cruise to a win.

They cannot win this series with Stu in goal.

The Oilers were basically MIA for 75% of this game.

 

[scotchtapejr]

Someone from the team or local media needs to call this clown out publicly. He cannot play another game for us.
Shoot him into the f***en sun.

I mentioned Skinner in the OP too.

Drai had like 3 bad plays which led directly to goals against.
