GDT: Preseason Game 8, Oilers at Canucks in the final (thank God) beer leager. Sportsnet 8 PM

[McTedi]

Nice chance for Philp there

 

[walktheboulavard]

Yeah Emberson can't handle the puck.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

How's skinner looking

 

[Heavy Dee]

I wonder how long they keep letting Skinner make soft plays all over the ice?

 

[McTedi]

Yeah Emberson can't handle the puck.

Meh, has looked OK.

 

[Jarvi]

It's not Stecher vs Andersson. It's Stecher vs Dermott or Emberson. Andersson isn't for sale

Yeah no shit. Hence why I said I didn't prefer either of the other depth guys, or even compare Stecher to Andersson.

And I bet you Andersson moves by the TDL. And if he doesn't, who gives a f***? We all play GM here and fantasize about players we'd like to acquire. Piss off.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

who f***ing cares about Broberg now he's f***ing gone and we're left with Kulak the cooked and his spirit squad

I mean it is a bit nonsensical to even talk about Broberg anymore.

There’s no universe in existence where the Oilers match him. Should they have played and signed him earlier? Yeah maybe.

But like there’s no point talking about it now.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Silovs outplaying Skinner

I’m a bit worried.

 

[McDrai]

Silovs outplaying Skinner

I’m not surprised. Skinner seems to be a very slow starter each year. Hopefully he shakes the cobwebs before the games start to matter

This, Broberg is somewhere else getting overpaid. If he was here making 4+ mil/yr, the fans would have the torches out for that too.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

It is weird how we boosted our forward depth, which wasn't a problem, and to do so we cut our spending and quality on D, which was our weakness

We scored 1 goal in the most important game of the year

 

[tardigrade81]

And a penalty. Lovely

 

[Jumptheshark]

How's skinner looking

which one is what we ask now

 

[iCanada]

I’m not surprised. Skinner seems to be a very slow starter each year. Hopefully he shakes the cobwebs before the games start to matter

What was the excuse in the playoffs?

 

[Mr Positive]

Sorry I guess. It's just that a lot of people seem to think that trades are on the table in the preseason and of course I'd think you'd be one of them with that post. I'd prefer to move on with what's on the table here. But if you are one of the many who believe that we are going to suffer until the trade deadline, then we have a lot in common actually.

I definitely don't buy into some possibility that there is an in house solution if we are talking about winning a cup

 

[McTedi]

Holding penalties where the player clearly traps the other players glove/stick/arm are beyond ridiculous. We got one to our advantage earlier. I just hate the call.

 

[dssource]

Smart play by Philip on pk

 

[5 14 6 1]

Philp looks fantastic and should be on the team

 

[McTedi]

What was the excuse in the playoffs?

And here I thought we came within one game of the cup. Guess not?

 

[foshizzle]

JP looked like a clueless junk player here. Good for him if he is finally "getting it"

No he didn’t. He was excellent under Tippett and Woodcroft came along and destroyed him.

 

[5 14 6 1]

We need to find a D in short order. None of our RH options look any good besides Bouch

 

[CycloneSweep]

Philp looks fantastic and should be on the team

I just hate how the choice is going to be between Philp and Lavoie and not just waiving one of Perry or Ryan.

No he didn’t. He was excellent under Tippett and Woodcroft came along and destroyed him.

His hip injuries destroyed him.

 

[McTedi]

Philp looks fantastic and should be on the team

I like him, smart player and doesn't look out of place.

 

[TKB21]

Liking what I see from Philip.
