Post-Game Talk: Oilers are good at shootouts now?

[Connor McConnor]

This team will still lose first round with this level goaltending. It’s sad to say that Mike Smith and Koskinen gave this team more reliable goaltending but it’s true. They atleast were streaky and could shut it down. Skinner is just always below average

 

[nabob]

f*** you refs.

 

[oil Leaks]

3-0 when I don't watch.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I enjoyed that game almost as much as @Cloned 's mom.

She loves hockey

 

[McBooya42]

Those refs put away the whistle in the 3rd. Game management sucks Gary....we know they do it, and so do you. Fix the reffing, and fix the game.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Also, shame on you refs. Absolutely pathetic, dishonorable punks. Maybe some day this league will have integrity and respect what’s supposed to be the highest level of competitive hockey.

 

[MessierII]

Good to see us get two. I would have been livid if we didn’t get two there.

 

[bellagiobob]

Refs snapping their whistles after that shootout.

Gary is beyond pissed. Had their bonus cheques all ready too.

 

[yukoner88]

Skinner with a sv% just north of .850 so we get the win tonight

 

[La Bamba]

McLeod needs to be off this team by the TDL if they wanna make a real run

 

[Ibanez]

Need a goalie and third line centre. This win feels like a damn loss.

Yeah I have a feeling McLeods days in that role are numbered. As a third line center you have to contribute SOME offense

 

[iCanada]

Don't care...But get a goalie Jackson/Holland/Coffey/whoever runs this team

Let Skinner be 1B

You know they are just waiting to call up Campbell and give him one more shot when every game is key

Let him be 3A tbh.

 

[Satire]

Probably the most.poorly officiated game all season, but the boys played well. Well deserved win. Keep climbing.

 

[Giggleplex]

A win's a win. Ain't gonna complain 'bout that.

 

[Cloned]

I enjoyed that game almost as much as @Cloned 's mom.

You get to pay child support to me now.

 

[Ibanez]

Skinner with a sv% just north of .850 so we get the win tonight

I lold. But not in a good way. Not ha ha funny

 

[CycloneSweep]

Yeah I have a feeling McLeods days in that role are numbered. As a third line center you have to contribute SOME offense

He is the center version of Connor Brown.

 

[Gnome17]

Oilers

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Should have started Pickard.

That third goal is unacceptable.

Pickard would have not fared any better. I'll put my faith in a guy that showed being an NHL starter last year than a guy that's never shown it in a 10 year career.

 

[TB12]

Skinner went straight off the ice and didn’t do his stupid hi5 with VD. Vinny looked like he was gonna cry.

 

[CupofOil]

Maybe if Skinner could make an actual save when it matters.

Right? The Oilers did all they could do to prevent even one scoring chance to get near Skinner then the moment Vegas gets a few chances after what seemed like an hour of getting nothing, Skinner crumbles.

I'm a fan of his but his confidence is in the shitter and the Oilers can't afford to play a development goalie as a #1 right now.

 

[North Cole]

f*** Vegas.

That's all.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Skinner needed to be better, but the knights should not have had that chance to get the 4th goal, they should have been on the pk. Nothing will change my mind here

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Gary is beyond pissed. Had their bonus cheques all ready too.

These two refs might disappear.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Refs did their very best to get Gary and Vegas the win.


Oilers prevailed.

3 wins in a row is much better than 3 losses in a row.

I like this version of the Oilers that goes hard for (close to) 60 minutes.

This version can compete with any team in the league.

Their level of effort at both ends of the ice has been much better and more consistent recently.
