Post-Game Talk: Oil flooding the infirmary

[syz]

The Oilers are the ones who developed these guys.

Yea, despite all their protests. Holland spent his whole career leaving guys in the minors until they were ready, and then leaving them there a bit longer so they could prove it. Both players apparently hated that despite it clearly working. Unfortunately he also didn't like paying them when the time came so he didn't think to negotiate during the season. He convinced McLeod to take a paycut for a year and maybe him and Jackson thought Holloway would do the same.

Good thing there’s more guys in the pipeline… wait, what do you mean there aren’t?

Had he signed a one year deal, we wouldn’t have traded for Podkolzin.

Holloway would have been stapled to Drai and probably would have cashed in far more than he’s going to be paid this year and next.

Knob cucked Holloway the entire season except for playoffs, but that didn't last too long. He would've been on a short leash. There's a reason they all immediately signed Skinner and Arvi without giving two shits about his conty. Because Knobby didn't trust him one bit. This org has hated youth for years and years.

Gutsy performance, damn shame that Nurse seemed to screen Pickard on the OT winner.

This game turned into a disaster, losing McDavid and the Skinner. Looked like a cheap shot to the ribs on Connor, hopefully only bruised. Another horribly reffed game, but the league thinks they are doing an incredible job. Really missed Kane in this one, he would have made someone on the Jets answer the bell after that cheap shot. Gutsy effort to salvage a point, but not hard to be anything but very concerned after this one, with the injuries mounting to key players.

The only positive is it was not a crazy hard shot to the ribs/core

I missed the game but watched the highlights... Why wasn't Skinner in net in OT?

 

[Cloned]

So if Pickard gets the next few starts and goes on a run, will they be gutsy enough to start him in the playoffs?

We had been relatively healthy all year. Only Kane who has been on all year is the annoying one.

He was hit in the head and had to go for concussion protocol.

Gutsy performance, damn shame that Nurse seemed to screen Pickard on the OT winner.

Him just giving up puck possession by dumping the puck in 10 seconds before the OT goal was much worse than him possibly screening the goalie.

Wasn't a hard shot that broke Drai's rib last spring either. Hyman also sat out most of a game recently after a very innocuous looking collision. Still think a lot of guys on this team are going to be held together by duct tape a month from now. Too many guys spending the season "playing through" things that are starting to add up at a very bad time.

Goaltending lost us the game again but we did get a loser point.

That is not true at all. Fans aren't even close to objective anymore. The first goal Helleybuck let in was worse than either Skinner did. It is getting g to be a but much when you can't even look objectively at the goals anymore.

 

[aspin3]

Another f***ing garbage game from stewed Skinner.

On 17 shots 3GA, 2 posts, A ridiculously bad come out of net situation where he's beat clean and fortunately Jets don't score, and he lets an alley oop from Center ice get by him. It beat him. If thats on target its going in

Pickard comes in and gets the loss because our #1 is a clown.

Helleybuck had 3 goals on what was it 20 shots and yet somehow goaltending lost us the game. Did you even notice the ine goal was a 2 on 1 which was because of a breakdown that lead to a great pass and a great tip in?

Credit where credit is due to all of those gifted animators over at NASA.

Loved the Apollo astronauts as a kid and still do. Can't wait for Artemis to really take off.

 

[MoontoScott]

You replied before I added the bit about Schwartz!

We might not win a Cup, but we'll definitely win the award for most "good guys in a room."

Aside from all the suspect and shady characters we've given second or third chances to...

Need more characters like the ones from "Good Fellas" Win or end up in a dumpster.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Nurse with easily the worst OT play of all time. f*** the Jets, diving dirt bags.

Is there a dumber player? Scholastic award winner but his hockey sense could scarcely fill a thimble.

I think goaltending was bad for both teams but I don’t agree. On one Skinner served up a freebie on a plate and then didn’t react leading to a wide open net. Then he somehow ends up on his ass 2 feet out of his net on another.

It was bad.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Well this is super lame.
Just shut mcdavid down for the rest of the regular season. Draisaitl can come back and play if he is healthy if not, shut him down too and rest our main stars.

Don’t worry, Connor Brown will save us!

 

[I am the Liquor]

Weird rishaug is reporting lower body injury for Connor when that doesn’t seem like it’s where the check got him

I’m guessing it’s a groin issue

 

[syz]

I’m guessing it’s a groin issue

He gets crosschecked in same spot he's been clutching multiple times over the past 2 years. LBI report is just a smoke screen.

He took his glove off and grabbed his crotch on the bench….plus the way he gingerly glided to the bench …..

 

[Senor Catface]

Maybe Ozempic once he gets his shit figured out

It's funny, you can always tell how Skinner's game went by the way [redacted] complains about every other part of the franchise.

Skinner had a bad game? No prospects in the system!

Skinner had a bad game? Katz is the worst owner in the world!

Skinner had a bad game? YOU CAN'T HAVE DISSENTING OPINIONS HERE.

Boys should be proud of how they played the 3rd down McDavid, down Draisaitl, refs shitting up a one-way storm... that 3-3 tie was earned working against all sorts of adversity. Valiant, well earned point. Jets needed every favour, non-call, horseshoe-ass scenario just to get 20 shots and take an OT coin flip. And a 5-on-3 to top it off... those "roughing" penalties wouldn't be called in pre-season man.

Hopefully the injuries are not long term. Gutsy as tonight was, we won't accomplish much without McDrai over larger samples.

Stu Skinner mediocre in this one.
Jeff Skinner making Knoblauch look stupid (and still doesn't get OT time before a two defensemen setup lol)
Might have been a top 5 worst game by Nurse overall. Whatever decency we saw in the first half of the year, the patterns lately have been super concerning. Granted, we don't get the tying goal without his point shot. But my goodness, the man literally passes it to the other team consistently in no pressure situations. Hope Walman can handle the load here.
