Post-Game Talk: Skinner Does Dallas

[Garbo Man]

You think he'd have figured out how to be more consistent after being a starter for 2 seasons especially with all the practice and hours he puts into the position. lol

The Schwartz Effect

Weird injury. Nurse tagged him sure, but you don’t see too many slashes to the shinpads that knock the guy out for the rest of the game.

FTFY

Great win!

Only one more game until Game 4 when Skinner goes actual God mode

 

[MoontoScott]

Nuge saved his best hockey for the post season--good timing. He's been the best Oiler forward in the Dallas series thus far.

Three seasons and three postseasons now.

In the same game he has a shutout he has 3 mindblowing plays with the puck that could've cost us. That misplay of a puck leaving it in his own crease and him sliding out of his cage. my lord.

The icing play where he suddenly played puck had everybody in the rink confused. Including Skinner. He doesn't know why he did it. Still, this was his good game.

Dallas should be ashamed though. They get this chance and who knows if they get another to make a dent in series and they decide to have their pass puck nto the net night or shoot wide on gravy chances night.

Oilers were much better at finishing as per usual. That said on the Nuge goal and Kulak goal its some good fortune that puck blocks went to perfect spots creating both goals. Oilers got the bounces tonight. They say you work for them, and the Oilers did.

He had several misplays with the puck. He also had a shutout. I know which statement I care about.

Edit: the Oilers, despite creating more chances than almost any other team, do not in fact finish at a high rate. Much better at finishing as usual is a wild statement given the last ~120 games played by the team.

What's funny is that there may not be room for Ekholm

Weird injury. Nurse tagged him sure, but you don’t see too many slashes to the legs that knock the guy out for the rest of the game.

Might have had something on his foot already and Nurse managed to tag it. I kinda wonder if Nurse will be suspended.

 

[Garbo Man]

Hyman is an absolute legend these playoffs with how much he's been hitting. Absolute playoff monster

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

It's amazing how well this blueline is playing as a group, it might be the best blueline I've ever seen this team play.

Yes.

 

[RipsADrive]

I'm still baffled at Hintz's reaction to that slash. I mean it wasn't a gentle one but that happens 5 times a game at every level of competitive hockey.

If he's out next game the man's gotta drink some more milk or something.

 

[Mr Positive]

you wonder, that maybe Ekholm coming back might be a slight downgrade in terms of him shaking off the rust. Of course we are putting him back in but I agree with your point that the D we have have been heroic in terms of rising to the occasion.

I hope I don’t eat these words but Dallas is super unimpressive. Couple of pushes but outside of that they generate very little. A lot of throwing the puck from bad angles or from the point hoping it will go in.

He made a few legit big saves or forced misses. He is who he is, but he was a BIG part of the win tonight.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Holy crap this dude gets another shutout....Time to sh** on him even harder.

I’ll poop on his lawn

It's a good sign that they have no space to work with.

I read stars fans saying he was out with a broken ankle earlier this year?

Even still, I don't think there was much there.

 

[BlackDogg]

PETE you seem angry.

 

[snipes]

lol DeBoer is crying about the shin pad slash

 

[Oilhawks]

Was there any explanation of why the ref ignored the rule on the EN slash?

My guess is he didn't want a beer thrown at him for calling an 'obscure' rule (obscure to enough fans)

[Navx94]

Are you 5? What a childish post after a win

… skinner does well after we shit on him. If we praise him we all know what he does.

 

[Wreckus]

Dallas' coach is not happy with the Nurse slash.
