Post-Game Talk: Nurse Skinned the Oilers

[McAsuno]

Yeah. There was going to be no call. Clear as day, until Drai chopped him back. How does the NHL not have the back, excuse pun, of one of its superstars. If this is hockey now just get a gorilla out there taking out the stars of the game. Matching penalty....ffs

The fact that aside from the 1st nucks penalty, how they apparently played a clean game the rest of the way is just typical NHL officiating in a nutshell. Then typical Kozari picking his spots to call a penalty. Nothing new with this bush league as its a full league problem, but no accountability or change will ever be bestows upon them.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

No, because as much hated he is, who can eat up all his minutes? We aren't a better team without Nurse in the lineup.

Are we sure about that?

 

[oil Leaks]

Can we realistically buy Nurse out? Most useless sack of sh** I've seen on defense.

Just have to pray the NHL brings back Compliance buyouts for the next CBA. We can use if for a couple players here

 

[TheNumber4]

He hasn't shown he can play Vancouver once all season. Nucks represent different challenges than a Kings club that wasn't even involved. The Kings team had zero belief and only Kempe going. Nucks have the belief and will shoot from a lot of different angles and try anything. Why not? Skinners in net. Chance anything will go.

Even in first period on 4 SOG Nucks got a post and a lucky save by Skinner off his stick. Skinner at no point looked settled.

We’ll see. He was good against LA. I don’t buy the only Kempe was going theory. But go ahead and use that to excuse his play if you want.

We played like shit in front of him tonight and it was the usual suspects again Nurse and Ceci. Only one team gave up a breakaway this game too. And some naps around our net front was had too. That said, yeh Skinner didn’t play well. The Garland goal can’t happen. Debateable on the Z goal, looked like Vinny might have screened him.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

He followed up a 818 in game 5 vs Vegas with a 765 in game 6.

Yep that's the exception. Every statistic has an outlier.

 

[guymez]

When all the shots are going in one direction goaltending doesn't matter. Both goalies sucked.

3 shots in two periods is not a couple people f***ing up or a goalie problem. Looked like the Oilers felt they won the game in the first period. One step forward two steps back imo

Exactly.
Thats why this loss is so concerning. The boys just rolled over and took it after 1 period.

 

[Oilhawks]

Agreed but what evidence do we have from this team that they can beat this years version of the Canucks?
No evidence so far.

They can, they are the better team. But if they are mental midgets like that, they're toast, and will never win a Cup here, or elsewhere

 

[Shanahanigans]

Get 25 and 5 off this f***ing team by the start of next season. Who needed an upgrade, Ken Holland?

This is year 3 of this, Colorado feasted on that pair, Vegas feasted on that pair, the entire fanbase knew we needed an upgrade and was begging for one, old Kenny boy sits on his hands.

 

[McFlyingV]

that garland goal misses the net by about 10 feet if skinner doesnt put it in.

Hahaha holy shit you're right. I just watched it back because I walked out of the room after that went in and just now saw the replay. WOW.

 

[RandomGuy79]

Are we sure about that?

Yes. Nurse >> Broberg/Stecher

 

[TheNumber4]

Sat idly by and listened to the big mouth Oiler social media tough guys cringe it up all week then top it off with this game.

Way to go fellas. It's a good look.

Sus!

 

[GrumpyKoala]

I wanna punch an NHL ref and a Canucks fan right now. Any one will do.

I don't condone violence but you can maximize you investment by choosing Kozari

 

[Tobias Kahun]

He followed up a 818 in game 5 vs Vegas with a 765 in game 6.

And sometimes McDavid's bounce back games are just as bad.

#outlier.

I dont have faith in Skinner, but im more worried about game 3 than 2 for him playing good.

 

[McAsuno]

Exactly.
Thats why this loss is so concerning. The boys just quit after 1 period.

Turtled defensively in the 3rd was a massive mistake. The team can do that against a 1-3-1 trapping kings that won't attack despite being down a goal or 2. But the nucks are a different story. Do that shit again and the nucks will make this team pay. Did the f***ing team and coaching staff not learn from the preds/nucks series? Good grief.

 

[CycloneSweep]

No, because as much hated he is, who can eat up all his minutes? We aren't a better team without Nurse in the lineup.

Almost any second pairing defender in the league. He is an active detriment to our team.

 

[DrDrai]

Honestly this was one of Nurse’s worst games of his career.

No egregious giveaways but his play reading and reaction time were unacceptable tonight. Lost count of how many times he was VERY slow to react and looked lost positionally.

Everyone in the arena could see the Garland play coming except for Nurse apparently. Took an eternity to read the play and by that time it was over, Garland beat him.

It’s disappointing because I think he’s here because of the leadership group to a degree. But if my friend f***ed me over as much as nurse and Ceci I’d make the trade call myself to get them out of here.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Hahaha holy shit you're right. I just watched it back because I walked out of the room after that went in and just now saw the replay. WOW.

2 goals tonight that dont even go in, if Skinner isnt in net.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Yes. Nurse >> Broberg/Stecher

I would assume the incoming GM would find a replacement.

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

Hollland didn't play. He didn't do much all offseason.

I don't no how that ended up as Holland instead of Holloway.

 

[guymez]

They can, they are the better team. But if they are mental midgets like that, they're toast, and will never win a Cup here, or elsewhere

A team that loses 5 games straight is not the better team.
They have to show that they are the better team and until they do that we shouldnt be handing that to them.

 

[TheNumber4]

He followed up a 818 in game 5 vs Vegas with a 765 in game 6.

Vegas literally torched every goalie they faced last year. And the oilers played like shit defensively, system completely exposed.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Greedy organization taking forever to put the post-game online. F them too. lol

 

[RandomGuy79]

Almost any second pairing defender in the league. He is an active detriment to our team.

But if we buy him out, we cannot afford a 2nd pairing guy...

 

[22Brad Park]

He was bad. Don't forget, Swayman got pulled tonite too

They lost cuz 0 shots in 22min, Skinner let in softies and Nurse continues to be a playoff dud

Swayman was not to blame on a couple though.Oilers had Swayman they would of won tonite guaranteed

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

2 goals tonight that dont even go in, if Skinner isnt in net.

Like if the net was empty!
