Post-Game Talk: Point taken

[Stoneman89]

0 saves in shoot out

Whatever you say. How many shootouts are there in the playoffs?

 

[BlackDogg]

Like I said in the GDT. Everyone needs to score more goals that isn't Leon.

And Skinner in a shootout is an auto-loss. Which IMO, does speak to his ability, at least somewhat.

He doesn't even make an attempt. Plus the game breakaway he got scored on. He still needs to be a backup

 

[Oilhawks]

Is chronic then

 

[Drivesaitl]

No thought on either pathetic attempt by our guys?

McDavid attempt was fine. Fantastic stop. The less said about the lil Nugey attempt the better...

But hey, look At Skinner on both shootout goals? You think he even practices these?. You think maybe he could? Too much work I guess.

 

[guymez]

Skinner was fantastic in the third and OT lol. You guys so obviously have an agenda

Yeah...thats been apparent for a while now. They'll deny it though...lol

These PGT's arent even worth reading most times.
Just f**king noise.

Skinner made some excellent saves in this game. Not the reason they lost.
The team played yet another game where they didnt seem to care all that much about puck management and to a lesser extent D zone coverage. In addition they just dont seem to care enough to bear down on scoring chances.

A loss was inevitable.

 

[McTedi]

LMAO.....Flames raped in a trade! Kuzmenko gone again. 4 assets for 2.

I dont mind the return for the Flames and I hate the Flames.

 

[BlackDogg]

Connor clearly upset by the tariffs tonight

That means Leon is now only second in goals scored

 

[GMofOilers]

Whatever you say. How many shootouts are there in the playoffs?

I watched not my fault skinner let in goal 2 in game 7 last year and you know the rest is history…

[syz]

Oilers had an expected goals of nearly 6 tonight and ended up with 2... need some guys to start finding the net here again.

A backhand along the ice? Yeah that had zero chance of going in. When he cut to Saskatchewan I knew he wouldn’t score.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Fun fact:

Mikko Koskinen has the 2nd highest shootout sv% of all time behind Marc Denis

 

[nexttothemoon]

Good start... bad ending.

I thought Jeff Skinner had a decent game overall though. Potted a goal and decent defensively. Deserves to not sit and eat popcorn at least after this performance.

 

[Oilhawks]

Yeah...thats been apparent for a while now. They'll deny it though...lol

Just f**king noise.

They aren't "worth" reading win or lose. It's just for fun, very little analysis and when there is, it's usually biased towards peoples favourites where either that player did everything to win it, singlehandedly lost the game, or is absolved of any and all blame, always.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

I'm sure Drai is noticing. His Wingers have a combined 10 goals all season. Getting a little tired of that. Wish we could get rid of the Arvid contract. What a useless f***. All the guy does in a game is get injured every game. Its like drama every game with him being tossed around.

I have to admit he's been disappointing.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Skinner was fantastic in the third and OT lol. You guys so obviously have an agenda

Skinner was great. First goal was a tip. Second goal was a breakaway. Both bad defense. Might have got those backwards. Either way not his fault for either.

 

[McDrai]

Skinner will surely get the press box after scoring again tonight. Goals = bad

 

[rboomercat90]

Second best goalie yet again. Not going to win a Cup with this guy, just aren’t.

I criticize Skinner as much as anyone but he wasn’t the issue tonight. This was the worst game this team has played in months and Skinner was the only reason it got to overtime. You could call out any other player for how they played tonight and it would be justified.
wtf was going on with that power play in the first period when they were up 2-0 and passed the puck around the Wings zone for 2 minutes without even directing a shot towards the net? That was the turning point in the game for me. They could have buried the Wings there but instead they backed off their intensity, the Wings found theirs and dominated the rest of the game.
Lots to be concerned about with this team tonight and it shouldn’t start with the one guy who kept it from being a blow out.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Smoke and mirrors. Their underlying numbers are not good. Basically just a hot PP.

Detroit didn't look good in this game and were just running counters. Its all they were doing was try to jailbreak. Debrincat was so f***ing awful in this game they should do drug testing. Really it was Larken and Seider and little else most of the night. The rest of the Wings looked like the object of hockey was turning pucks over.

But really any team in the East that even has a pulse could possibly make playoffs. It ain't hard. Just be less bad.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

I guess SV% stopped being a useful stat.

Mcdavid was so off tonight. I absolutely bags the slow winding shootout move but Mcdavid can usually pull it off even when the goalie knows he wants to go backhand to that opposite post and tuck it. Usually he’s much faster to that post but he double clutched and Lyon knew exactly where he was going the whole way.

 

[LTIR]

Such a joke that the Wings might make the playoffs in the East, what a trash conference.

We have Flames sitting in a playoffs spot in West.. ours isn't much better

 

[nexttothemoon]

Lack of finish has been an issue all year long... tops in the league in shots per game... something like 20th in shooting percentage.

Disagree here. Oilers got close to 50 shots. Got goalied yet again. That was my impression anyway.

The Detroit goalie was the only reason it got to OT. Skinner was reasonable, but yet again the 2nd best goalie in the game.
