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

[Gnome17]

McDavid is McDavid again which means the Oilers always have a shot.
Almost got goalied but they made it happen.

Oilers plays the Preds next. I'm sure McDavid will get an assist on one of Draisaitl's many goals on Thursday.

Skinner makes me feel like I can be anything I want in life.

 

[JossyP]

Mcdavid wouldn’t be denied tonight, 1 point from a thousand. If we had sorokin, we would probably have won the last 2 cups, he’s unreal

 

[Morpheus]

Well I predicted he’d hit 1000 tonite but I’ll look forward to a Nashville ass kicking on Thursday.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Look how long it took him to move loolllll.

Except an actual NHL goalie

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Give us sorokin islanders, we will love you long time

Schwartz will turn him into JDD.

 

[Pip]

Honestly a goalie is probably more important than a top 4 D if you can only choose one.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

McDavid could’ve had 10 points tonight

 

[Shathar]

Except an actual NHL goalie

No, he especially makes me feel like I could be an NHL goalie.

I’m wondering if Drai saw Barkov up close in the finals last season and decide to change his game. He was below average defensively his whole career, but he’s having an MVP season offensively and a Selke season defensively right now. Analytically, he’s been one of the best defensive forwards in the NHL this year, as well as dominating at even strength with minimal PP points. Best 2 way hockey of his career right now.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Drai looks so good.

F-off Skinner. jfc. 22sog goal and the loser allows 3GA, 2 posts, and two other Islander empty nets. This guy turns what should be a shutout to 3GA. Play Pickard.

Oilers get 4 superstar goals and needed every one against a real goalie and in a game they absolutely dominated. But they have Skinner so they have to outwork, outplay for 60mins and hope for the best. ffs So done with this lame ass goalie.

Debrusk before 3rd period. Skinner is limbering up. He's sauntering around skating like he's in seniors league. Whats odd is you never see him strecthing, getting ready like other goalies do. Because flexibility is just another aspect of how shitty his game is. On tying goal his butterfly is disgusting. Lee had 2 ft to put that puck in, on ice because Skinner can't even stretch his pads across despite being a giant. A smaller sorokin due to flexibilty and actually working on his physical aspects can have pad on either post. Skinner can't do anything close to that. Anybody else notice Skinner somehow getting tired in third period. How the f***?

 

[CanadasTeam99]

I laugh when people bring up being shaky defensively

We have given up 4 High Danger chances the last 2 games

Add maybe 2 more b/c NSS only goes by where the shots are taken from

Islanders today? Allow 15!

You can get paid like one though, and that's all that counts

 

[LevelingSolo]

Skinner is not good

He has the reflexes of a sloth

Lets just pray to god Bowman is actively looking for one.

The Good:

McDavid looks fast again

The Bad:

Skinner (Jeff)

The Ugly:

Skinner (Stuart)

If you’re gonna post something like this you need to use the gif too. (Preferably the one with the cat)

 

[I am the Liquor]

Lucky to win that one. Draisaitl carries the day again!

 

[MessierII]

I don’t believe Jeff skinner played a shift in the 3rd

 

[Soundwave]

Honestly a goalie is probably more important than a top 4 D if you can only choose one.

For the all the talk, how many games honestly have any of Emberson, Stetcher, etc. lost us? Skinner being freaking 70th in the league for GSAA is the bigger problem.

Swap goalies and I think we see the NHL invent a mercy rule .

Interesting i noticed watching the goal animations. After the OT goal the players jumped on the ice and all the D except Bouchard skated towards Skinner while the rest of the team celebrated in the corner.​
