Post-Game Talk: Skinner Does Dallas

[tiger_80]

Yeah and the talking idiots on tv still act like our D is suspect

When Ekholm returns that D group would be insanely deep.

Bouchard
Ekholm
Nurse
Kulak
Klingberg
Walman
Stetcher
Emberton

2-3 top pairing guys (depending on where we slot Nurse--he's arguably No.2 on many teams).
Kulak, Klingbeg, Walman are all legit top 4 d-men.

I believe if the team continues to play like tonite, Skinner will get 7 more shutouts!

 

[elmeroil]

I wonder if Connor Hintz Mcdavid will ever play again? Embarrassing embellishment act in game 1 and 2 by the DALLAS STARS DALLAS STARS. Just play the f***ing game or head on over for an acting career

Its Emberson's birthday today, he doesn't get to play because we're solid at D, and he gets his name spelled wrong on the BD cake...

DeBoer is a f***ing loser

 

[tiger_80]

He’s a moron

Well, in fairness it is more the consequence than bad intentions. Such slashes are quite routine in any game, and there was nothing malicious about Nurse's act.

 

[Mr Positive]

Is Nuge's nickname on the team seriously "Nuggie"? That's what Brown just called him

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

I think Hintz broke that foot/ankle before. It was just a whack at the pads, unfortunate for Hintz.

 

[MikeS24]

DeBoer is a f***ing loser

He looks like some dicheveled hungover computer salesman. Coaches good teams gets overrated

Its Embersons birthday today, he doesn't get to play because we're solid at D, and he gets his name spelled wrong on the BD cake...

Or is he Emberson. I always call him Emberton. I guess it rhymes better to my non-native English speaker ear.

Yeah that’s a great deep blue line

 

[Heavy Dee]

Did someone ask DeBoer about the cheap low bridge on McDavid by the plug Blackwell?

 

[Tarus]

I'm nervous about the Oilers winning the cup this year.

Skinner needs 7 more shutouts to win it, and that just seems like a tall task

 

[booyakasha]

DeBoer is a f***ing loser

media should call him out on that actually....
ask him "Do you think every time your team slashes McDavid, it's worthy of a suspension?"

 

[Mr Positive]

I definitely see how it becomes tough once Ekholm returns. I'm guessing we still want an even split of LD and RD.

Ekholm-Bouchard
Nurse-Stecher
Kulak-Klingberg

Man, sitting Walman? maybe we go with 11-7?

Not against some rules for coaches/non-players to toss around hypotheticals of your opponents players being injured?

Marchment also boldly setting the stage for some premeditated retaliation against the Oilers.

 

[tiger_80]

Entirely predictable result. Now Dallas has to play in Edmonton where the Oilers get last change and are going torch Dallas's bottom 4 D with McDavid and Draisaitl matchups. Not to mention, the Oilers PP is lights out at home.

The Oilers PP has been quite underwhelming compared to what it was two years ago, when they were torching the poor LA almost at will.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

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.

Yup, their team finishing doesn't line up with their high zone time and chance creation.

They were 9.9% team shooting during the regular season and now bumped to 11.9% in playoffs (4th best). Quite remarkable to see them with an 88.1 combined PP and PK (with other final four teams at 108.5 Carolina; 116.2 Florida; and 119.7% Dallas. Absolutely huge to see this team so good with EV scoring and production balanced across the deep lineup. This latter piece is imperative to winning Cup.

Now if they can bump up the PP results and string successful PK result it will get fun!

Walman? Are you Nuts? Nurse sits before Walman. Stetcher sits, Nurse plays with Kulak.

 

[iCanada]

You didn't see the chainsaw?

It reminded me of this from years and years back, tbh.

 

[soothsayer]

It was hard to watch tonight. But it's still an elite PP at home, which is weird that it's so much different than on the road.

Leon gave it to him from my understanding because he hates saying Nuge

This is the most Hintz has done the last 2 weeks. He gets an extra grade on one score card for the holding knee writhing effect.

If I'm a Dallas fan I'm saying stay down, its your best play since round one.

 

[soothsayer]

Walman? Are you Nuts? Nurse sits before Walman. Stetcher sits, Nurse plays with Kulak.

Klingberg is the guy that's sitting imo. Not that he's played poorly.
