Post-Game Talk: Stuart S14inner

[Jimmi McJenkins]

The poll needs an "yes, but only if Campbell is included" option

Even then no

 

[Macheteops]

RNH picked up an assist during his Sunday family skate

Skinner won that game. Sloppy couple periods

What’s going on with McDavid. Looks a little off. Anyone think that injury could be lingering?

 

[Victor000]

The way they literally just flipped the switch in the 3rd is probably the most impressive thing. I swear they were just messing around for 40 minutes and waited until the 3rd to start playing.

The Oilers in their heyday did it all the time. But then again they were a team that could come in jet lagged and hung over and still beat you 8-1.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

missed the first 2 periods but it sounds like they were dogshit

they looked good in the 3rd though, battled hard

Skinner sounded like he was great again

Skinner was the reason it was tied after one. Denied Johnny on a breakaway and made several other excellent saves. No chance on the one he let in.

It's important to remember that this is Skinner's 2nd full year in the league. Last year's playoff struggles and early season struggles this year included, he was .914% last year and has recovered to a .906% just halfway through this season. He's proving that last season wasn't a fluke. We may very well have a quality starting goaltender drafted and developed by the organization.

Dude was better than Kosko and Smith in preseason Game 2.

 

[Ibanez]

He got paid. Thats it. What a complete fraud of a competitor wanting to play in Columbus. he just wanted to be invisible and pick up pay.

Cry baby boy on a garbage team to be “closer to home”

I’m glad everything went wrong for him. Other than the millions of dollars ofcourse

Irrelevant player. Fade into obscurity lil guy

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Imagine winning 14 straight in the playoffs

 

[McSuper]

Skinner is just too good

He is a fat fraud or so we been told by other Oiler fans.

Crazy at one point CBJ were out shooting us 2 to 1 .

Calgary had a 3 to 2 lead but blew it . I guess if you suck you might as well blow it as often as you can

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Elvis was seen sneaking into the Oilers dressing room to celebrate the win

 

[elmeroil]

we sure had a lot of shitbirds in here shitting all over skinner the first few games of the season. One of these days I’ll go back and pull the quotes. sinners.

Every game this comment comes up. He wasn't good, the D was horrible. Coffey fixed so much back there which allowed Stu to breath and not face a billion shots a game. This allowed him to gain confidence and it's all been working. This wasn't just one guy that started to play good, it's been an absolute team effort but mostly Brown deserves the credit

 

[tardigrade81]

This team is deep

Rolling with McDrai not even dominating

Kane had a goal too. If he gets going …… holy smokes !!!!

I’m going to the game Thursday. So pumped

 

[Connor McConnor]

That was Vezina level goaltending we saw tonight.

So confident in net.

Boys found a way to win. Need way better starts though.

McDavid has entered that Crosby era where he isn’t as dominant anymore but his team is better.

Was Elvis good enough to warrant a trade?

Agree with everything except I don’t think Connor’s ability has changed, just his mentality. Same thing as Sid when he realized his team around him was good enough.

 

[TheNumber4]

Sticky Skinner posters.

Hmmmmmm....

Have you seen the stache? Can anyone help themselves?

 

[Mr Positive]

I would not trade for Elvis because Skinner is an NHL starter this team can trust

I voted yes originally to the poll on the condition that it was in a trade for Campbell, but changed it when I remembered about him complaining about not being the starter.

We wouldn't have him ahead of Skinner so it seems like a headache waiting to happen.

 

[Da McBomb]

It's funny how players like Gagner, Derek Ryan, and Holloway can score in limited minutes but Connor Brown continues to be a damn black hole

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Incredible, good for Gagner

 

[FlameChampion]

RNH picked up an assist during his Sunday family skate

What’s going on with McDavid. Looks a little off. Anyone think that injury could be lingering?

I wonder if he has a wrist/hand/finger issue. Just doesn’t shoot like he was last year.

 

[Victor000]

Imagine winning 14 straight in the playoffs

They won 16/18 in 1988, so I sorta can.

 

[McOilers97]

Just over 2 months ago, this team was 7 games under 0.500 (2-9-1). Now 12 games over 0.500 (27-15-1). This is insane.

I was pissed at the team early on the season, but never doubted that this roster is good. Shame on anyone that was gleefully declaring that they were right about the “terrible roster that Holland built”.

 

[MoontoScott]

Credit to the ref tonight for seeing that Hyman was pushed into the net. How many times have we seen that called missed and the goal disallowed? He wasn't buying the whining tonight.

 

[YakDavid]

We are getting wins without the best efforts from our top two lines. Add in when it’s time to shut things down we have.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Some hockey demon possessed Foegele and made him unreal.

 

[FlameChampion]

It's funny how players like Gagner, Derek Ryan, and Holloway can score in limited minutes but Connor Brown continues to be a damn black hole

He probably feels guilty because he raped the Oilers with such a terrible deal. And now he’s gripping his stick all season long. What a disappointment.

 

[5 14 6 1]

The poll needs an "yes, but only if Campbell is included" option

Eh even then I don't want him. He is causing a fuss because he wants to be the starter. He has said in the media he isn't a backup. We have our starter right now.

 

[McBooya42]

Perry must have been watching like "what did I do?" Followed by "oh snap!"

Agree with everything except I don’t think Connor’s ability has changed, just his mentality. Same thing as Sid when he realized his team around him was good enough.

McDavid took over that game a few times. That goal should have counted IMO.
