Post-Game Talk: Skinner just had his Grant Fuhr moment

[OilynutEsquire]

Yeah. He is not really getting any of his opportunities at the net either. Maybe he is saving it for an elimination game

He is incredible around the net. He had one of the best chances of the game. Created individually to boot. What game were you watching?

Such a strange fanbase. I don't think I have ever seen one where, for no reason whatsoever, they break out into an anti-oilers riot.

 

[McTonyBrar]

f*** yah dude. And where the f*** have you been?

Audit season bro! I had to finish that shit off and it's done at the end of the week so IM BACK IN

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

Did like Skinner and Hellebuyck switch bodies?

 

[Ninety7]

Couldn’t catch the game tonight

Looks like we only got 13 shots on net though.

Did we get caved and squeak out a win like the Canucks?

Good defensive effort mostly. Frustrating from an offensive standpoint, but maybe the team just wanted to prove a point, that they can on a whim just buckle down defensivel.y

 

[McTonyBrar]

Oilers allowed 0 odd man rushes tonight wow

Nice good luck with that. Thought you retired after the TDL lol.

If Dusty is still the goalie coach… I was wrong

 

[Shanahanigans]

PS, according to SportLogiq, high danger chances were 7-4 in favour of Edmonton. LA had a lot of shots but not a lot of quality, we defended the slot and front of the net REALLY well.

Eerily reminiscent of We Want Florida chants which worked out so well for the Leafs.

They cannot even hsce a watch parry because of risk from rioting. This is what paying 2 million dollars to live in a 600sq ft shack does to a person.

Big picture. Good rest night for all

Can’t agree more on all points.

Its definitely true but LA also failed to get any passes across. Their skill plays were unable to find those plays. Only reason I'm saying this is Skinner wasn't required to make any moves across on one timers. Skinner did however make multiple good glove hand stops from slot areas. Kings did get their chances, just not across chances. Oilers lanes were impeccably covered.

Thing is though teams like Colorado and Vegas are much better at making 3-4 pass sequences to find a guy open. Kings are not elite offensively in any way. Kings didn't have any elite scoring this season.

The chance were he didn't get a shot off? Or was he credited with the puck just sliding to the net slowly to Rittch's pad after he already got swarmed?

IMO he's another guy that tries to hold pucks way too long. Which is kinda surprising as he's a vet and should be aware of how little time he has to try to make plays with his speed.

They sound ready for a riot. Vancouver businesses better have their insurance up to date

The chance were he didn't get a shot off?

If thats what you took from it I dont know what to say. Some people are hopeless lol

I’m impressed people weren’t carrying TV’s out of stores and burning buildings down.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Honorable mention to Desharnais, sketcky moments with the puck but he was eating up pucks all night and was aces in the final few minutes just by being big and positionally sound.

Vinny is a huge reason the PK has been perfect so far. But he's been defensively solid all series, and was terrific tonight. Blocking shots, taking away passes, winning board battles. Glad he's on our side, that's for sure.

Can’t wait to hear them say “f*** your store front! f*** your Honda! f*** your vending machine! f*** your bylaws!”

When we knock them out.

Not really. Oilers had more high danger chances than the Kings. LA threw everything at the Oilers, but it was a lot of perimeter shots. Oilers played a patient, defensive game.

 

[MoontoScott]

Perry has obviously slowed down but I think he makes very smart plays around the opposition net.

ok I literally just saw gregor tweet this almost verbatim.
