GDT: Preseason Game 6, Canucks at Oilers beer leager. Sportsnet 7PM

FFS Sklnner is exhibit A of a player that has never been in playoffs and is the type of player that contributes to teams he's been on not making playoffs. I'm a purist. Its predictable I wouldn't want Jeff Skinner anywhere around here.

Every coach Skinner has ever had has problems with his play. I wonder why.

Never been a fan of his.

ohhhhh boyyyy white smoke flows from the chimney, Replac...I mean Drivesaitl has picked his annual whipping boy. Rejoice! Rejoice!

lol jeff Skinner was the whipping boy contract of the entire NHL for awhile. At least we don't get him at his huge contractual price. Team is in a win situation. Skinner is a player that has been selfish and one dimenstional his entire career. He's not even doing that here thus far. Can't stand the guy. lol

My last whipping boys were Yamamoto and Connor Brown. Unfortunately wasn't wrong on either. But yeah, Skinner better perform, I'll have the whip out.

jk aside what coach has ever liked Jeff Skinners play. Serious question.

Scary thought. Now when I say f*** Skinner its in stereo.

I wanted them to match Holloway. In 38 games last year Holloway had more hits (91) than Skinner in almost 4 seasons combined (96).

Lemee guess, the same guy who said that PLD was a stud and a puckhound, and just wait, would be a huge difference maker in the playoffs. .)

Hey, it was a fun game to watch.

Seen more live games already than I ever have before. Its so funny how the perspective totally changes from watching on TV to live.

Keep the Drai line together. Did the organization not see this coming? Chemistry doesn’t happen without working together. Game six and they finally play together. By now JSkinner should have seen shifts with Drai and with McD. Maybe they’ll figure it out before we’re 2-9-1 like last year.

 

[harpoon]

JSkinner should play the last 2 games.. his play has given hope to guys like Podkolzin, Janmark and even Lavoie etc in cracking top 6 at some point this season

Maybe it’s just me but I thought that was Podkolzin’s worst showing so far. Messed up zone entries multiple times on one shift. Had a couple nice looks off McDavid feeds and squandered them. Kid was probably nervous playing first line against his old team. But I don’t think he exactly rose to the occasion. May have actually been trying too hard.

Contrary to what others may have seen, I thought Arvidsson was fine. He looked really dangerous on the first Oilers PP set up in the low slot. I’ve seen him have four or five glorious chances in the two games I’ve watched him play. It’s a shame he hasn’t cashed some of them, but to me he looks fast and motivated.

I liked Stuart Skinner tonight as well.

Agreed. Podz had a rough game and Arvi had a pretty good one IMO. Jeff Skinner was pretty well invisible to me though. Made one good takeaway that almost led to a chance and was quiet beyond that and the penalty drawn. Hopefully the last 2 preseason games he starts to feel more comfortable with Drai and Arvi.

They didnt have to match Holloway they just needed to send him not-a-lowball offer, or even just maintain thoughtful communication with his camp.
