Post-Game Talk: Pulled it out of their Askerov!

[MoontoScott]

Exciting finish. Shitty game.

And yet another lesson learned (or maybe not) for the Oilers.

In a league with so much parity you can't take anybody for granted.

 

[booyakasha]

Have to feel for Bouchard at this point....has no confidence.
sucks he's going through this during his contract year.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

I missed the first seven minutes. Watched the rest, pretty rewarding finish.

 

[ZJuice]

Nice heart attack game for my big brother to celebrate his birthday to.

So many open nets missed and more rebounds missed.. Glad we won.

Bouchard needs to switch up his diet or something, get on Keith's magic mushroom supplements..

 

[MoontoScott]

Odds seem pretty high J skinner is benched next game if not traded very soon

Who will pick up a 3M contract for a thirty something guy who isn't scoring and can't play defense?

Maybe the Flames.

 

[brentashton]

What about that game was shitty? It was Oilers zone time and chances for 50 straight minutes lol. Give Askarov his due, it was a fun watch

All hail the sharks.

To quote another poster,

pfffft!

Thats my educated responsal today..hehe

More important try to locate his balls and stop being so god damn soft

It’s so weird with Bouch. Cause he’s been shooting into shins and passing into blades. But then like every 3rd shift he’s still making elite passes and plays. A very mixed bag right now; but the mistakes will stand out way more than nice plays that don’t lead to production.

His play to date has to be of some concern. I can't see 8 years at 10M per.

 

[Ibanez]

Never should've got him really. Not sure how many teams would be interested. Tanking ones certainly.

Other gms seem to be crafty. Would be nice for ours to do something neat once and awhile

W

The differance today was pickard not giving up that 3rd goal. Unfortunately something Skinner hasn't been able to do

We literally played an identical game 2 nights ago with Skinner in net lol

Not a chance. Hopefully he turns it around in the second half

 

[OfCorsiDid]

1 game? Forgive me. Let's give Skinner the veznia.

How short people's memories are in guess

Yep as expected, can’t even pay him a compliment when he’s due.

You guys need to see a therapist or something because a normal person would not have this sort of negativity about an athlete.

Plus the ad hominem attack on me too. Especially around the holidays too. All I’m gonna say is if you act like Scrooge you’re gonna get your just desserts.

 

[booyakasha]

Sharks are going to be a fun team to watch in a few years.
Cellebrini, Askarov, and heaven forbid, if they happen to get Schaeffer at the draft?????

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Poor Rejean.

I am out and about, but I took the time to copy and paste Rejeans rant

####ing team horseshoe!! I hate those mother####ing pricks!!!

Now those lucky pricks will win it in OT. That team can't start to fall apart fast enough for my liking.

That piece of #### 2 man team irritates the #### out of me. The team their fans and their media can all #### right off!!!

---------------
Sounds like me crying about the goaltending...heh

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Good point but somehow I felt better with Pickard in the net in the dying minutes.

Same hahaha

 

[Stoneman89]

Was very entertaining game to watch. Seemed like an afternoon game. How could people not enjoy that one. I will far too much panic in GDT.

But the worst, what kind of fan in attendance boos their own club? Some losers in the crowd tonight booing the Oilers, booing Bouchard and booing Pickard who wasn't the problem in the game.

Never boo a home team or its players when they play like this, and all the fans that did got to see the team win anyway.

Solid effort by the club and they never give up and they never stop trying. Some of y'all are spoiled. What reason is there, really, to be booing this club.

No kidding. Have no idea why some fans are constantly trashing guys that play for our team, like Stu Skinner and Connor Brown. They are always trying.

@foshizzle says it’s easy.

I always am vocal when Skinner plays well and let it known when he does. Not my fault it's not that often....

Don't forget Dickinson.

Looking like they might have the #1C, #1D, #1G already.

WE can unload Skinner. I'd be more worried that we're stuck with 8M bucks worth of Arvid. He played better today, but really I don't even know how many games he can go anymore. Skinner gives a bad club a bit of offense and can be in topsix and PP, on a bad club.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Two games in one. Thorough play domination and faulty gun sights of epic proportions meets the coming out party of a high skill, elite pedigree athletic goaltender. Sloppy as hell but a guilty pleasure to watch.

Big picture this is another key moment heaping helping of adversity hockey in finding a way to W when the game is close and the pucks not going in. Seems bizarre to say they stole a game in which they dominated. But last minute game tieing goal and OT winner. I also believe in betting on pedigree goaltending which can offer certainty within a tough position to find and develop quality. starting goaltending.

Felt the Oil team defending and structure was sloppy for big parts of this game. Another piece to continue to refine and tighten up when the goals don't come.

Much better than a blowout win. It's how you finish that counts.

For some reason I still have patience for arvi. Because I know what he can be. But that confidence is fading fast

Tnh shouldn't have been close. Sharks goalie was incredible. Oilers didn't help how many missed open nets lol

7 of Skinners last 10 starts has been 2 goals against or less.

That game reminded my the Scrivens shutout game against the Sharks
