[larek]

We are a good team, Boston is elite.

FK Boston

 

[gordonhught]

Haha, just because of my Kostin comment isn't it? He isn't playing btw.

Why you hate Kostin?

 

[Navx94]

Skinner has a few bad moments and the sky is falling. Relax..

 

[Ibanez]

How do they hire this dude? Like speak up Jesus

Sounded like his mouth was full of marbles…sportsnet a pays a lot of money for marginal people…lol

I miss when TSN covered hockey

 

[LTIR]

Oilers played good that period.....1 Oiler did not.

5 shots on goal.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

So I guess Skinner is a piece of shit too.

This game he is.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Ekholm beasting anyway. Laying players out on 4 different hits. Kane and Drai hitting. Team had plenty of jam, score should be 0-0.

 

[CycloneSweep]

FK Boston

Okay?

 

[larek]

Okay?

Good

 

[nabob]

The non call on Orlov drilling Hyman with the puck long gone is particularly bad.

I guess only slight touches to the jersey are getting called today lol

 

[Mr Positive]

Who's available for goalies next year?

Kind of glad they didn't spend on EK now.

They say unless Nashville goes on a run and makes the playoffs they likely start selling and Saros will be on the table.

But we aren't there yet. Skinners has earned the #1 spot because he has been great. Those goals are frustrating but it takes more than two goals to erase everything good Skinner has done

 

[Wreckus]

Skinner has a few bad moments and the sky is falling. Relax..

At this point, we need all the points we can get.

 

[Drivesaitl]

5 shots on goal.

We were killing penalties all period. How many shots you want; Oilers were solid in that period, other than one Oiler.

 

[gordonhught]

Enough about Kanes arm. Win a gsme.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Ekholm beasting anyway. Laying players out on 4 different hits. Kane and Drai hitting. Team had plenty of jam, score should be 0-0.

Drai is hit or miss for me tonight. Watching 4th liners make him look like the 4th liner infuriates me. Him and McDrai seem to get shit on by 4th lines too often.

 

[Sanchez]

5 shots on goal.

Agreed but they had more time in the ozone. PK was great.

 

[walktheboulavard]

It was a good time for a bathroom break.

You probably could have heard the puck hit the glass from your neighbors bathroom.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Skinner didn't save them but from when I started watching 10 minutes in.. The Oilers were under siege the whole time. I'm not even sure they sniffed the other teams end other than a token dump in or a pathetic rush that went nowhere.

Boston took the Oilers to the woodshed and beat the shit out of them for fun in that period.

Ego's should be hurt in the Oilers dressing room. Clean up the shit stains you all left and try better next period haha.

It's all hands on deck (As Boston has been all year) vs some hands on deck(the way the Oilers have been all year)

Should have watched the first 10 minutes because the Oilers were cycling down on the Bruins zone the whole time. The refs calling one type of infraction (holding) and ignoring another (interference) disrupted the Oilers momentum after the Hyman and Kane calls. They became tentative because they didn't know the standard.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Skinner needs to have both of those, but tbh the team kinda fell apart in the last 5 minutes of that period there. Boston got a bunch of good looks in a row, which the goalie stopped btw.

Too many chicken littles in here though. We're the best offense in the sport, this game isn't over yet.

Bruins are 33-0-3 after scoring first. It’s over.

 

[Ibanez]

Ekholm beasting anyway. Laying players out on 4 different hits. Kane and Drai hitting. Team had plenty of jam, score should be 0-0.

It’s the moral victories that are the greatest…

2 periods. Wakey wakey team

 

[larek]

I guess only slight touches to the jersey are getting called today lol

Right away kostin should have been put out there if he was playing and beat the s hit out of orlov

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I’m done complaining. Skinner will lock it down and we win 4-2.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Should be a 0-0 game. Oh well

 

[OfCorsiDid]

This game he is.

*This period.

There's still 40 minutes left. Still all to play for.

 

[RandomGuy79]

At this point, we need all the points we can get.

Was anyone really expecting a win against quite possible the best NHL team in modern history? People need to f***ing relax.
