You do realize that this poster was going to bring up his hatred for Skinner, if you know him well enough. I just made that One post on the issue, hoping he was going to knock it off tonight, no debating for me whatsoever! Go back and look at how many posts, with other members, this poster is debating this silly matter with

McDavid's penalty shot goal was unfair, just looked too easy. The slowmo makes it look even easier.
What a player and what a huge win. At least Boston beat Seattle in regulation

The penalty shot was nasty. Has McDavid been scoring in the shootout?
I always turn the game off as soon as it gets to that point.

Still lots of work to be done, but that looks good. Let's Go Oilers.

No, it's really not. That's like saying a pitcher who is 10-10 with a 1.79 era is worse than a pitcher who is 12-8 with a 4.50 era. just because the team around the guy with 4.50 era gave him more run support when he was pitching, doesn't make him better pitcher.
Hockey, like baseball, is a team game. And just because the Oilers have given Campbell more "run support" does not make him a better goalie.
Ugghh I'd rather face LA than almost any of the Central Division wild card matchups if we get 1st in the division.
Colorado? Minnesota? Winnipeg?
ugggghh. Unless we're 100% facing either Calgary or Seattle, I'd prefer we faced LA in the 1st round again.

I mean fair, but the Oilers would play the Kings and the two division leaders play the wildcard teams.

I still see that as a good thing, because it's home ice and well earned position. Colorado would be rough, but you play who you play, all they have to do is win.
Very very impressed with Foegle in the last little bit.

This Skinner-Campbell debate is only one-sided for me (if you know what I mean lol) so it’s kind of interesting to see just the rebuttals to these seemingly very specious arguments.

I was just going to add this. Lost a bit in the big dominant win, that pass from Draisaitl on the 2 on 1 to Foegele was just incredible.
Everything looked like he was pulling it to shoot and made that sublime pass infront of the defenders front foot right on the tape to Foegele who had an easy snipe. Like, what a pass.

I think a certain someone's gf or wife has an ex that looks just like Skinner

He only wanted out last time because MacT forced a one year show me deal. And for some unknown reason Eakins healthy scratched him the first game of the season.
If we had just signed the 4 year deal he asked for he never would have asked out. Of course if he doesn’t leave that deadline we may not have fallen far enough to win McDavid so….
Well the debacle that occured here in Montreal was that Petrys wife and 4 kids were living in Michigan, and (one was a newborn), and the border was difficult to cross last year.
It wasn't all that dissimilar to why Duncan Keith wanted to move to Alberta.
It didn't help that the Montreal hooligans went after Petry's wife and were incredibly hostile, and dogpiled on her any chance they could.
Her time in Montreal was well documented on her social media:
Julie Petry shares fond memories of her husband's time with Canadiens
"It’s a bittersweet goodbye for our family," she says about trade to Pittsburgh. "We will go out with gratitude & love for the time we had."

So no.. Petry won't come back to Edmonton for the same reasons he wanted to leave Montreal.

The reality is this team is built so we need okish-average goaltending,
Anything that not strait up bad give us a good shot at winning.
Both goalie can provide that on most night so its really a non issue.
What we don't need is a goalie that either light out of a garbage truck.
Aka the Mike Smith fiasco (22 goal in 4 games) of the last year 3rd round and were gonna be ok.

Well sure but you can't deny that messing with the number 1 PP in the last several years isn't a concern. Barrie for all of his flaws fits nicely on this team. I believe Karlsson would make our offence better but maybe it shouldn't be our first priority either. And there is no doubt that Barrie would be the guy that is included in any package for Karlsson. There is definitely risk trading for Karlsson and upsetting what is working right now.
