Post-Game Talk: McDavid hated that goal

[rboomercat90]

Oilers gotta figure out a way to get Bouchard a brain transplant.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

McStack duo Hyman and McDavid drive the bus to victory. Skinner .941 wins the goaltending battle behind a highly sloppy team in front of him. Incredible to see so many horrible turnovers into odd man danger opportunities. Nugent Hopkins stellar tonight at 2C in a lot of important areas led by an exceptional backtrack. 61% face-off, an apple, and 5 takeaways on 0 giveaways.

Nice to win the goalie battle again tonight.

Well. Not quite. But we didn't lose it that hard and Skinner did his job adequately.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Great comeback victory and great game for McDavid, Hyman and Skinner.

How do the Skinner haters feel?

It’s not that I hate Skinner, I just don’t have the belief he’s “the guy” yet. They can’t be going down 1, 2, 3-0 or 4-1 in the playoffs and expect them to come back every game. The team in front of him can maybe start the game on time too but I just feel a lot of other goalies would have made saves on both Blues goals.

That said…he played very well in the late stages and secured them a point. Then made a few more big saves in OT and they got the second point.

Sources confirm to me that Ken Holland has told Rogers Place security and staff members not to let Pavel Buchvenich leave Rogers Place

I'll give Skinner props for this one. He kept them in and bailed team in OT

 

[Drivesaitl]

Reminded me of the young hisssssss hisssssss it's Nuge's puck

He absolutely schooled Thomas on that one. Did Nuge get a star? Not just for that play but he was all over it tonight. Solid game from him.

 

[ZJuice]

I f***ing love Nuge.

I wore my Nuge jersey when I went to the peelers after a win during that streak. I was getting a dance and she asked is Nuge your favourite player? I said no. It is Mr. Hyman.

 

[Duke74]

Draisaitl was ass this game. On a line with McDavid and still couldn’t piss a drop. I have no idea what happened to his shot this year.

So many posters shitting all over Skinner in the GDT... another .941 night

 

[foshizzle]

Skinner with an excellent game. So many huge saves in the 3rd and OT. Great bounce back.

Not a fan of Skinner and worry about him in the playoffs- but he battled back and played well.

 

[NedPlimpton]

I was sleeping and only got up in time for the OT, and I was surprised the game was still on, frankly.

But it was a nice little treat.

still gonna WOOO.

 

[NeverForget06]

Great game from Skinner, Nuge, and the 1st line
Need more on the score sheet from Mcleod, Foegele and Holloway

 

[Captain Fantastic]

The Binnington show. Blues didn't deserve to even be in this game. They played solid first 5mins and figured they had something. Figured right there that Blues stepping back there and playing careful was the wrong move for them. Absolutely Oilers were coming back from that. By the end of first that was evident.

Blues even with Binnington in net have trouble holding leads.

Thought they put up a good fight in the 3rd. LOL..I was just trying to quote you.

Days since Connor Brown last scored: 511

Still fewer days from when Toronto lost to a zamboni driver

I was shitting on him. He battled back and played well. He needs to be a CONSISTENT .912 to .915 goalie.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Honestly Kane can be happy he's on line 2 but really he's just on the second line 3

Kane is just invisible again. Guy doesn't score for a month, then he gets a hat trick, and then he's back to doing nothing again. Blues were picking pucks from him all night. Kane was like a cooler on that line. Hopefully he's saving it for playoffs as this is not a good performance. He's just there.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

CHOKE ON THAT BABAY!

Gaw Damn, that was one of the best lines in that movie . I’m pretty sure he ad-libbed that line and it wasn’t scripted because it was something like a 40 foot putt and the director told him he had 10 chances to drain it and he nailed it on the 7th or 8th putt. He yelled it at the director while the film was rolling and they kept it in.

I’m quite positive I heard or read that not long ago lol.

Do you mean because only allowed 2 instead of 3 and losing the game?

If Skinner gives up that ot goals, you guys lose your minds.

 

[McAsuno]

 

[OilynutEsquire]

Nuge is way more valuable when he is the main guy on his line. That 2nd line was great tonight. Kane had his best game in a while. Holloway looked good there in limited time too.

If I ever by a jersey again it will be a Hyman jersey, what a player, love watching him play.

 

[alphahelix]

I was shitting on him. He battled back and played well. He needs to be a CONSISTENT .912 to .915 goalie.

he was .951 in the last game. he won 12 straight allowing 2 or less. etc
