Post-Game Talk: Point taken

[Cloned]

Do you seriously think Detroit deserved to win this? They were garbage most of the game and had only 8sog 35mins in.

That they ended up with over 30 by the end of the game means the Oilers opened it up too much and let them back in.

 

[Anemia]

Skinner starts and the other team's goalie plays better. It's like you can set your watch to it.

 

[K1984]

Check out the time of possession. Offensive zone numbers, SOG, deserve to Win meter, anything. You're saying the Oilers were "grossly out competed tonight" Yeah any statline disagrees with that.

Yeah, people with eyes would agree with that.

Pretend the Oilers were even in compete the back half of the game all you want to fuel your goalie obsession. Oilers stunk from the 10 min mark of the second on.

Wings had about 12 shots half way through the game and ended in the mid 30s. Why was that?

I like Podkolzin as a player but I'm getting pretty tired of him missing chance after chance and Arvidsson falling the ice every time. We are in February pretty much... and the only wingers with over 10 goals are RNH and Hyman

For sure.
I have posted about this a few times now. The secondary scoring on this team just isnt good enough considering the talent level.
Arvidsson (a player I used to like) doesnt seem to accomplish very much.

On a positive note Jeff Skinner (a player I am not all that enamored with) was really good in this game.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Skinners record is 19 Wins and 15 losses

On a conference leading team. Really its absolutely ridiculous for our #1 to have this many losses. I guess tonight we can't use the "Skinner gets all the tough games" excuse. This is the can't shoot straight Dead Wings playing without even Patrick Kane. Skinner makes them look like contenders.

 

[OilerTyler]

At least Vegas lost in OT so no ground was lost

And then what happened?

The Red Wings scored twice my man.

Stinky 2nd period but a competitive game the rest of it. Little dramatic here with the stinky.

 

[GMofOilers]

And then what happened?

Skinner let in 2 of the next 3 shots in and gave them life.

Also made 0 saves in the shootout gifting the W to the Wings

Neither team played what I would call a good game. No coaches in the world would like this game. That said the Oilers dominated the game. If you're blind to that I don't know how.

I don't pretend for a moment this was a well played game by either team. It was a stinker. But the Oilers had the puck and zone possession most of the game.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Get a goalie

League is terrified of this. If and when we do

 

[guymez]

Not just me you win that game 80% of the time.

I think that chart illustrates just how poor this team is at finishing. This game should have been out of reach for the Wings by the end of the 1st period.
What it doesnt show is how the team didnt do much of anything in the last part of the 2nd period and most of the 3rd.

 

[K1984]

The Red Wings scored twice my man

Save % only matters until the SV% is good. Then we have to start nit picking the breakaway goal and tip an inch in front of his glove and pretend those are bad goals instead.

The saves down the stretch to salvage a point? Those don’t matter.

*for the first half of the game.

Then they chose to stop playing.

 

[Missing smitty]

If not for a couple lucky bounces in the first we get shutout. Garbage game tonight.

You're delusional. It wasn't a great game, but it certainly wasn't garbage.

Nothing is the goalies fault, unless it's the other team, then it's on the skates for not scoring

 

[I am the Liquor]

Out-goalied again.

What does Arvidsson do again?

It’s like a kink at this point. There’s stat padders, I think the Oilers are advanced stat padders.

Don’t get yourself too worked up, don’t need your blood pressure spiking at your age, turnip.

You know if Skinner's save percentage started with a .8 it would've been posted ad nauseam in this thread by now.

He just finished the month of January with a .921 save percentage to follow his .913 in December. He's been good for a long while now.

This shows you they did more then the wings In those said periods……

 

[Drivesaitl]

Skinner let the Wings back in as per usual. Guy on one end makes a dozen stops to close the door. Skinner makes a few stops here and there and people are bowed down in prayer. lol the telecast in the third period theres a sequence where one Wing shot right into Skinners pad, the next shot missed the net, and Debrusk is hollering on for 5 mins about how those were two "really difficult saves" by Skinner. At another moment in the third they're saying the Oilers record the last two months is mainly due to Skinner. Which is lol fabrication.

So thats part of what gets me wound up. Every f***ing telecast these bozos are winding up Skinners next contract. Its like a trainwreck in slow motion.

Skinner put up a .941 save % tonight. He’s over .920 and 13-5-2 in his last 20 but he’s the problem.

 

[Morpheus]

Didn’t say I blamed him but there goalie was better tonight
Probably why he got first star.

Yep:

Got a text from a friend after the breakaway goal. The traditional “gee wiz, wish we could get a save to bail the team out when it matters.”

Right before he made many big saves when it mattered to save the team’s ass from getting nothing tonight.
