Post-Game Talk: Oilers dominate the Pens, time for Holland to do his job

[CupofOil]

Im starting to some special potential in Broberg. He may never to be an elite offensive threat but his size, skating ability, long reach and above average puck skills could make him a our Klefbom 2.0. Maybe even more mobile than Klef tbh

Bouwmeester is what I always saw his high end upside as and that's far from an insult.

Broberg had a great game outside of getting tangled up with Skinner. He's now moved into our 3rd best defensemen.

Nurse
Barry
Broberg
Ceci/Vinny/Bouch/Kulak

Whos worse/giving up, gie aways, reads bad of Bouchard or Ceci?

Bouchard has a ELC, but maybe is a good tradechip?

What if trading Ceci and Bouchard for D upgrade?

Oh ya totally forgot about Jay Bo that’s a great comparison.

Trading Bouchard is dumb.

I guess he never learned to throw a football at SSAC when he was 15.

Its all about the record.


It’s all about the record.

Bobrovsky and Vasilevskiy both had 39 wins last year, so they are in fact identical goalies. No goalie had more wins than Bobrovsky, so he was the best goalie in the NHL.

There is no way to differentiate between two goalies beside Wins and Losses, and the difference between two teams is completely irrelevant.

No skaters, coaches, or other factors impact a teams ability to win or lose a game. Goalies can adequately be compared just by their win-loss record, and they are the only relevant factor in deciding wins and losses.

All NHL teams should spend 82 million dollars on their goaltending and spend the bare minimum on everything else because only goaltending decides wins and losses.

Its all about the record.

Bob got 39 wins in 9 less games, too. Bob is a generational goalie

Strawman arguments aren’t valid. I think skinner has played well for a rookie and Campbell has struggled. If you look at the scoring support, you could assume the team plays better in front of Campbell….

 

[tiger_80]

If we aren't upgrading on him or Yamamoto then there is no need to upgrade on anyone up front.

We should add depth

The Oilers need a 2nd pairing defensive defenseman. They have enough depth at forward. Kostin, Janmark, McLeod, Puljujaarvi, Ryan, Foegele. At least 4 of these guys will score 10+ goals when all's done. That's not counting the top 6 that is the best in the league.

 

[CookiesAndMilk]

Our Columbus game is one of those Saturday at 10:30 am games

I know a lot of the people in here hate these early starts. Living in Europe these are the only games I don't have to get up at 4am to watch them live. I welcome them with open arms.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Wins aren't individual stat. Desharnis has an insane win loss record. Should he get the Norris?

Yes... and the Calder as well.

 

[5 14 6 1]

So who do we grab?

To me Karlsson is still the best option, but maybe they are worried about trading Barrie and messing with the PP chem/room chem, making them hesitant to pull the trigger. I don't care.

Norris Level D needs to be swung for Ken. Pay the cost.


Broberg - Karlsson
Nurse - Bouchard
Kulak - Ceci
Desharnais

 

[scotchtapejr]

Poor Pulju. Guy played really well today can't buy a break Nice assist on the Shore goal, had some chances and dinged the slap pass off the post. Even the goalie thought it was in. He's been going though last couple weeks.

Dudes been on fire ever since he heard about the oilers potentially wanting to re-sign him.

 

[5 14 6 1]

What about an Ekholm + Jeannot package?

 

[Kaptah]

Forward group is fine, upgrade the defense. Package Yamamoto with Bouchard for help.

 

[McAsuno]

Some copium in that PGT: "At least the pens don’t need to go back home to Edmonton" as if Shittsburgh is some paradise lmao

They also had a poster who said the pens should put McDavid on a stretcher, and then the same dumb ass poster posts pages after how it’s unclassy of Woodcroft to call a challenge on the offside goal. Stupidity at its finest. That guy belongs on CP with the rest of the inbreds.

 

[bellagiobob]

1st in Western Conference gets you Colorado in the first round right now

I still think by the end of the season it will be the Avs in first in their division, with the Jets fighting for a WC spot. Of course that is contingent on Makar coming back relatively soon.

 

[Fourier]

I do wonder if Stan Fischler still thinks that Jason Robertson is better than McDavid? Hopefully Connor has another gear and he can settle this heated debate once and for all. As of now lets just call it a draw and hope for better.

Why has Kostin completly stalled??

Bottom 6 is alright, but trying to had traded for OReily would been great.

 

[McSuper]

Hey Holland, pick up Petry from PIT and Gavrikov from CBJ leaving behind Ceci and Yamamoto. ThaGive up the Petry dream , he isn’t come bac

Hey Holland, pick up Petry from PIT and Gavrikov from CBJ leaving behind Ceci and Yamamoto. Thanks

Petry isn’t coming back here. He wanted out last time he was here on top of that he wants to be in the USA . Gavrikov also doesn’t want to play in Canada . This is below Chia level of GM ing

 

[McSuper]

Considering hes below 500 winning, im just pointing out some facts

He also played very good in 4 of those games and should have won if not for the other goalie standing on his head.

 

[Harry Curry]

You guys do realize that:

1. The Oilers win tonight.
2. Goaltending had almost no impact on the game.

Yet you guys are beating each other up on this goalie debate?

You do realize that it was one poster criticizing Skinner over and over and over?

"you guys" lol
