Post-Game Talk: Oilers win by the Skin of their teeth

[OfCorsiDid]

PLAY LA BAMBA

 

[Mr Positive]

Sorokin should be #1 star imo

 

[PULSATING]

Skinner did everything he could tonight but Mcdavid would not be denied

 

[KCC]

Edm gets the W. shouldn’t have been as close as it was though. skinner gonna skinner.

 

[CupofOil]

That was way more complicated than it needed to be. The Oilers needed a million chances to pop in goals while the Isles seemingly scored on every chance.

 

[Pip]

The defense core probably gets far too much criticism. Impossible to look good in front of this level of goaltending.

McDrai went nuclear, so happy to see McDavid back playing like the best player in the world

 

[bellagiobob]

Will gladly take the win, but it’s time for management to seriously look at getting a true starter. Sorokin deserves a purple heart for that effort, backstopping a severely understaffed Isles team to an almost improbable victory. Connor is skating well gain, nice to see.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Skinner .870

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Ivanka going with the biker chick look on Sportsnet

 

[Shathar]

43 shots.
Third star.
He deserved it.
At least we won.

 

[Shizuka]

That was far closer than it needed to be. Islanders did their goalie dirty, he was frankly excellent. Not really encouraging, especially after Skinner got all pissed off on the 3rd goal last game, and then comes in and doesn't make saves he could have on at least 2 of the 3 goals tonight. A win is a win but man...

 

[nexttothemoon]

Skinner inflating McD's and Drai's point totals by taking it to OT.

True team player.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Oilers with 4 goals on 4.27 xGF

Isles with 3 goals on 1.7 xGF

Oilers gave up 3 high danger chances all game

Imagine lumping in the defense and goalies in the same category for sucking tonight.

 

[McTedi]

Add get goalie to Bowman's to do list. Ugh

 

[TKB21]

Great shot. I wonder if the whole team can be pissy with Skinner this game like he was with the team last game?

Best part is skinner gets pissy at the team in a blow out game because they give up a late goal. He then proceeds to play at an ECHL level and almost single handily gives the game to the Isles, such a clown…

 

[Soundwave]

Can the Isles please leave Sorokin in Edmonton. Man imagine a goalie like that here.

 

[Morpheus]

 

[syz]

Everybody not named Skinner was good to great tonight.

 

[VeteranPresence]

Send Ryan down, call Philip up and acquire/claim whoever to back up Pickard until at least the 30 game mark.

 

[Messrules11]

These two teams have given us some great games over the years, this wasn’t one of them.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Connor looks back..carried the team tonight

Defense still shaky…getting torched on the 3-2 goal and leaving a guy wide open on the tying goal
Goaltending is not even close to good enough..need a big save from Stu once and awhile

 

[McHelpus]

Give us sorokin islanders, we will love you long time

 

[Ibanez]

He's back

I was shit talking him during the game. Made me eat crow.

I’ll get all over Nuge next game. See if I can lift the voodoo curse

 

[oXo Cube]

Fish sticks looked like absolute trash all game.

Skinner is streaky so he'll probably heat up before too long here but might be time to give Pickard a few starts in a row.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

McDavid will be the 99th player to score 1000 points.

Fitting
