Post-Game Talk: Skinner with the shut- PSYCH!

[CantHaveTkachev]

Skinner was great tonight. Glad he is playing better for awhile now.

But this game was over before he had to make 5 saves. Men vs Boys tonight.

he made a HUGE save on the shorthanded breakaway that kept the game 1-0 and Connor scored seconds later

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I would once again like to reiterate that Lindholm is overrated trashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hahaha he hates that no matter where he goes he still ends up the Oilers bitch.

Sure, but he made sure to stop everything, so that makes things easier for his team.

Yeah no thanks to guys that take stupid retaliation penalties leading to backbreaking goals against.

I was 8 rows up from the glass there… Perry had a bit of a knee on him (I’m told… missed that) and then simply out-vet-moved him absorbing the pushes before finally indulging the fight.

I don’t blame Frederic… the whole arena had zero energy.. he changed that, until we scored that is.

The replay they showed looked like a pretty normal body check but yea I dunno. Was confused as to why Frederic was so upset, but maybe it was earlier in the shift.

The Bruins in general seemed agitated all game.

It’s easy to say that from our POV.

If you were a Bruins fan I’m not sure you’d see it the same way.

Halfway thru the season the veterans start to come on a little bit. They know that even the regular season is a long one. They will pace themselves somewhat.

Henrique, J. Skinner and Arvidsson have all looked better of late. Some of those off-season acquisitions might yet look o.k.

Arvidsson is like Hyman (to my eye) in that he always comes to play. That counts for a lot going down the stretch. Henrique started slowly but he still has a very quick release. We saw it tonight.

Full credit to Stu tonight for a great game.

Thank god he didn’t have to stop a breakaway from one of their best scorers in a 1-0 game or anything. Or else it could have been an entirely different game.

Oilers are somehow keeping pace with their 16 game win streak from last season.

In my section, nobody thought it was a bad penalty… it was a worthwhile push back on a night the entire team was lacking energy…

Then again it’s Boston… we all drunk anyway

 

[K1984]

Bouchard ehhhhh

The breakaways he's throwing up every game lately have to stop.

As a team they have to stop too, but starting with him would cut them by about half.

 

[foshizzle]

Skinner haters might be crying themselves to sleep tonight. Hope someone checks on them.

I don’t get this logic. I’m not a fan of Skinner’s. Oilers are still my favourite team and I’m happy Skinner played well and the Oilers won.

Bouchard ehhhhh

Bouchard was fine. Pucks didn’t outlet themselves

There are ways to generate energy without taking stupid penalties where you hurt your hand though.

 

[foshizzle]

The hit on Stuart is why we need guys like Evander in the lineup

What would Evander have done? Deterrents haven’t worked in a long time.

Elks will do the same this season.

That save and subsequent goal was huge. Big time play from all involved from Skinner to Nuge to McDavid

 

[KCC]

Bouchard ehhhhh

Well he was good until the third. lol

Outletting pucks is part of his job. Not giving up breakaways is another.

It was a simple shoulder to shoulder check.

 

[LevelingSolo]

The East this year might be the worst Conference since expansion when the league stuffed all the new teams (that all sucked) in one division.

It’s that bad.

Buffalo lost 13 straight and are somehow only 6 points out, its absurd

TSN turning point for sure.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Bouchard was only on the ice for 3 HDCA all game.

Seems like a couple mistakes foreshadow his game as a whole.

He still had more positives than negatives.
