Post-Game Talk: Skinned again

[booyakasha]

why the f*** did we pick up Kapanen?

Kapanen "why the f*** did they pick me up?"

 

[oXo Cube]

This was an actual bad defensive effort.

Skinner was also total ass but the people who defend him all the time because of 'breakdowns' should take note of the differences.

 

[MessierII]

Expected a loss in this one as soon as I saw the team on the schedule. Got some false hope with the breaks we got early but it still wasn’t even close by the end.

Lost in all the Skinner talk, and he's been trash, is that the scoring outage continues. It was a Draisaitl goal from a mile away, a Perry goal off a Wild player and a garbage time Skinner goal (thanks for that nothing burger Jeff). Team can't score, again, and when they do it's McDrai.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

About as predictable of a loss as it gets
Brutal effort all around
At least show up against the Rags

 

[Old Boys Club]

Dustin Wolf - 7th round.
Just sayin'

If the Oilers drafted him he would've flunked out of the ECHL. Development staff in this org are completely hopeless..

Minny has always been a good structured team, no matter who is there. They at least have some sort of culture and accountability.

It's a free for all in Edmonton

Pretty sure we vent all game about how stupid these guys are lol. Perimeter 95% of the game. No care in the world. Shinny hockey. No effort or will to go to the high danger zones to shoot.

We should be higher in the standings even with shit goaltending if we scored more goals like we did before

We should've known this guy is a fraud, after all, the Oilers hired him

 

[TheGingaNinja]

Well, predicable result unfortunately. Wild are our Kryptonite. Skinner wasn't very good, but boy, our D did him no favors tonight. Think Our D got exposed tonight, was a poor defensive effort overall with not good goaltending which led to the poor result tonight. Thought the Stetcher/Brown pairing were particularly bad tonight, though no one was great.

Kinda sad we were gifted two gimme goals and still got pasted.

Hope we tighten things up against the Rags or it's gonna be another rough night.

It’s almost like loading up McDrai is a strategy that has continuously failed.

I remember when myself and 90% of this board was ready to suck and swallow everything he had to offer. f*** this clown. He ruined our team in one summer.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Jeff Skinner with the predictable garbage time meaningless goal to pad his stats. I saw that last shift and Wild not even defending anymore and figured Skinner was gonna bag one. Of course lol.

Want to get pissed off. Watch Skinner on the bench. Give a f*** entirely disappeared with this player years ago. He's have his smartphone out but that would be too obvious.

Its the whole thing. You can't have so many passengers in a lineup that just don't care. How the hell did people applaud this guy coming here? Been an absolute passenger and he even knows it.

Yup

The Summer of Jeff, build a statue for this guy

Now it's the "Summer of George". Guy is a fraud

 

[TheNumber4]

Too bad we couldn’t win Expected Cups. We’d be well on our way with our expected goals against and expected goals for.

 

[Dirk Dangler]

 

[RegDunlop]

Kind of pathetic that prob your best player on the night was just picked up off the wire

 

[iCanada]

Fluery -0.67 GSAx, Skinner -1.37 GSAx.

Loooool no matter how bad the other guy is Skinner has to give up a little extra.

Failed clears leading to a goal, tale as old as time

[Reasonable Oil Fan]

Schwartz would have wrecked little Wolfy so bad he'd wet his nappies

Also, every team passed on him 6 times or whatever. lol

Unreal
Wolf is backstopping a much more inferior team to much better results
I’ve defended skinner as much as I could but bad defensive coverage plus bad goaltending equals our results so far
And all you got I’d “duh, every team passed on him 6 times, doh”
Tell everyone you’ve never played the game without telling everyone you’ve never played the game.
Our problem lies with reading our own headlines
From management down

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Well our fancies were shit this game too. But we outshot them and muffins are what really count.

At least he showed emotion. Guy did not just lay down and open wide. This team needs a kick in the ass.

Couldn’t score against Florida. Couldn’t score against the Wild.

Big and effective Team Ds can and will shutdown McDrai. Which is why our Top 6 needed to get better this year, but the guys we had have regressed and the guys we brought in are injured or too slow.

 

[McFlash97]

This is a .500 team. If McDrai gets hot, its a .550 team.

Dermott
Emberson
Failing to match the offer sheet(s)
Podkolzin (fluke 2 assist game with McDrai)

all have been an utter failure

sitting around pretending Stecher is a top 4 dman
and a disastrous number 1 Goaltender to boot on top is just a joke.

The you add our collection of wingers who all have been so bad, that you could replace them with our entire wing group from the AHL and probably put up better numbers up to this point.

see ya Saturday
