Post-Game Talk: McDavid hated that goal

[Soundwave]

He saved Bouchard's bacon there.

 

[Drivesaitl]

He seems to be playing way more passive this year. I wonder if he’s lost confidence in his shot because he passes off good shooting opportunities and when he does shoot, it’s into the goalie rather than picking a corner like he used to. McDavids shooting is similarly off but he’s still creating like crazy.

He almost scored twice tonight. Binnington is the reason he didn't get on the board. Drai even took it to the net a couple times again tonight.

That one timer on Drai was the best save by either goalie, got the Blues a point in this one.

The same as always? Have a good game or two doesn’t change peoples opinions on starting goalies, nor should it. We have a larger sample size.

So many saying huge game by Skinner?

I’m sorry but he did exactly what he should have done this game. He finished right at the expected goals.

Goaltenders make saves, most make multiple every night, I know that’s foreign for us oiler fans watching Skinner but it’s what goalies do.

That is not setting the bar high saving what you should.

He saved multiple ones that he shouldn’t. Try watching the game.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Predicted 4-2 victory over LA it was 4-1.
Predicted 3-2 victory over StL it was 3-2.

Time to buy a lottery ticket.

 

[GMofOilers]

He saved multiple ones that he shouldn’t. Try watching the game.

He should have just usually doesn’t cause he’s worst in the league at it. Don’t act shocked, goalies are suppose to make saves.

There’s a reason Skinner has really really bad stats, because he’s not that good. He’s playing behind a top team in the league

Skinner made a beauty cross crease stop that was on pretty much a 2 on 0.

I know it bothers you watching him make saves like that, but it happened.

Yup he did makes up for the 2nd goal

He doesn't make that kind of save very often, that's the problem. Like Koskinen had some show stopping saves once in a while too.

His lateral movement just isn't very good. I don't even know if you can really improve that, maybe some goaltending buffs will bring up a guy who had poor post to post movement and improved that dramatically over the course of their career. I can't think of anyone.

Watching your irrational hate of Skinner eat you up mentally is great entertainment. Especially knowing he’s going nowhere and it’s just going to eat you up more.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Did you see the game winning goal Binnington let in? That was worse than either goal Skinner gave up, and I thought Skinner shoulda had them.

Also the 2nd hyman goal you'd be calling Skinner out cause it was a cross crease to the center of the net, you'd be crying up a storm about how Skinner cant move.

Truth not hate, some people just can’t handle the truth

 

[Da McBomb]

50 goal scorer will sound even better

he's on pace for 58 (with so many goals called back as well)..... How about 60 goal scorer?

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Truth not hate, some people just can’t handle the truth

Ok your irrational truth. That definitely makes it sound less unhinged.

Get up on your soapbox on the corner and preach your truth.

Binner played fine not spectacular just like skinner
Skinner made one more save, that’s all that counts

You already know the truth.

Lavoie went off again tonight I see. Get the kid up here, he’s playing with a ton of confidence and can he ever fire the pill.

But where are we gonna play Brown if he gets called up.

I agree his lateral movement sucks.

I still give him credit when he makes those saves though.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

He’s a fourth line player and he was part of a pretty key line during the blues cup run.

The type of guy you want in your bottom 6 come playoff time, size and decent skating, responsible hard working game, battles hard and wears guys down.

750k cap hit, he’s a nice 4th line pick up that would make the bottom 6 a little harder to play against.

Yup, been on him for a while. Big, heavy right shot centreman who's got some sneaky skills too. Add the Cup experience. Would be an amazing and cheap pick up contract wise.

You already know the truth.

The truth is that right now I’m arguing with a guy who loves John Cena and tits.

I’ll just continue to laugh at your meltdowns from afar.

 

[McAsuno]

Not even gonna blame Skinner for the early 2-0 deficit.
1st goal with Nurse giving all the space to Thomas for the goal was just baffling to see.

and I have no idea WTF Ceci was trying to do here that caused the 2-0 goal. He's such a liability to watch.

 

[Morpheus]

Jay Onrait stated that Zach Hyman is the first oilers left-winger to score 40 goals.

And he’s now sitting in 2nd place in the league:

Shane Gillis is hilarious.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Bouchard better be buying Nuge dinner tonight.

McDavid is Lord. Still can’t help feeling there has to be something wrong with him…he just isn’t shooting

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Are we ever going to know why the refs just decided that Kane wasn’t bleeding even though there was obviously blood?

 

[nexttothemoon]

50 goal scorer will sound even better

...and 60 the bestest.
