Pre-Game Talk: Oilers at NYR Tomorrow

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

They can't seriously be starting Skinner.
Honestly, with the decisions knob has made this year I’ve lost all confidence him, just brain dead choices game after game.

How do you go back to the guy that has been 80’s level goaltending bad?

It’s Schwartz. Woodcroft told us that’s who decides the goalie, probably hasn’t changed.

Schwartz just clearly loves his boy Skinner because these decisions make no sense. Pickard plays great? He sits next game. Skinner plays great? He’s definitely playing again. Skinner plays terrible? Gotta play him and let him work his way out of it.

Anything for his mustachioed crush

I’m convinced that Schwartz has some damaging info on Katz, hence why he has managed to stick with the team since 2014. That’s the only possible reason he hasn’t been shitcanned
 
You'd think a backup goalie could be a star in a game, get in on the winning goal in OT with a beauty pass, and be the 2nd best player in the game and do all that and still not get the next game. oh snap.

Skinner complained to Schwartz again "I'm ready, I have to have the cage" All about Skinner. I've never disliked a goalie as much as this. ever. At least I'm not alone.
 
Is Hyman injured? Saw that he only played 10 minutes against the Isles.
He left the game for a while after a pretty routine collision. Looked like lower body. Probably something he's just going to have to try and play through.
 
To be fair last time we started Picard 2 in a row (after he had a good performance) he shit the bed hard.

I will bet you all that if Skinner has a bad game they start Picard next game.

It makes no sense. Even if it’s Schwartz. Jackson, Bowman, Knoblauch etc can override him?

You would think McDavid and Draisaitl would same something at this point.
 
Skinner was fantastic last game. All 3 goals were b/c the D allowed them to get right in his face.

He made some monster saves that should have brought some life into the team

2 massive cross crease saves and a breakaway.

Fantastic is a stretch, but I thought he was quite good.

The forwards need to score more, everyone but Drai that is
