At this point the only way to remove Schwartz from the day to day handling of goalies is to actually promote him to an executive office position like Director of Goaltending Personnel or some made up BS like that.

If the organization doesn’t want to fire him they should just do that instead.

Honestly thats not a bad idea, partly I think they don’t want to lose access to his training regimen and facility… only problem is he would have input on the next goalie coach, plus they already lost Sylvain.

This is huge. Come on Wayne. You can do it

 

[McJadeddog]

Any news on Frederic?

What news are you looking for? did he re-injure himself or something? I didn't watch the end of the game, so am unaware if something happened.

 

[Mr Positive]

Any news on Frederic?

Well if he were re injured I'd think we would know by now. He likely plays again and probably more minutes this time

Time to troll the league and sign him up again, and get him a few easy ones

Roloson 06 run up and coming....

He looked like he was in serious pain after every shift. I was thinking it would be a miracle if he played tomorrow but who knows, eh....

Guys past his prime, honestly can't see him scoring again

Alumni game?

That would be hilarious. Comes out and scores 5 goals.

Just needs to get hot for a little bit. You see every once in a while a rookie goalie goes on a tear in the playoffs, like Murray, Hill, Ward. They don’t always have great careers afterwards. I think teams scout the hell out of opposing goalies before playoff series and they just don’t have enough info on these black aces.

They got the book on Skinner, Vegas figured him out imo and the rest of the league followed suit.

Even Silovs was looking pretty freaking good but they must have spotted something because they seemed to figure him out.

But yeah let’s get one full game of Rodrigue and see how that goes first lol

 

[Jumptheshark]

Time to see how the real nepotism baby plays

 

[nally]

Glad for the kid getting a start. 2nd place is pretty much gonzo with the loss yesterday, and considering all our injuries now. So might as well just rest players and get some players get their beaks wet before the playoffs. Standings don't matter anymore, so just get healthy.

Shut Drai, and McDavid down for another 10 days or so, and let them get maybe the last 2 games of the season in to get back up to speed. Put Ekholm on LTIR and then let Kane get some games in. Let Frederic sit for another 10 days as well, as he clearly didn't look 100% in yesterdays game.

If anybody else has any little thing that is nagging them, give them time off as well. Basically shut it down completely.

Can't LTIR anymore

 

[McJadeddog]

Can't LTIR anymore

Why can't you LTIR? It's retroactive to when they got hurt, so the 10 game/24 days thing is fine.

imagine this scenario, Rodrigue comes in has 2 or 3 decent starts and then turns into a complete beast and steals playoff games. In a world when we got to watch the New York Rangers go from Richter to Lundquist to Sherstikyn I just want that to happen to the oilers once.

Organizationally the Oilers do not value goaltending and havent for decades. It is a complete afterthought with this team.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

Go Sharks Go!

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

It's clinching time

 

[Fishy McScales]

Go Sharks Go!

Crazy we're in a situation where the Blues could clinch before the Oilers.

 

[Canovin]

The Oilers are right where they should be. Playing against LA for the 4th time. The Blues can get swept by the Knights

 

[yukoner88]

Great idea! Evgeni Nabokov was from Kazakhstan!

(who, btw, I heard is running very successful potassium and pubis businesses over there...)

Lol


Pubes

We dont need goalie to "steal" us any game lol have you seen are record with average goaltending? We are nearly unstoppable . If oliver can come in and post a .905 plusbsave percentage which is slightly above average amd we have everyone in the line up we are laughing all the way to the finals
