he does suck and they wanna put him on team canada if i was in charge he wouldnt be getting a sniff near that team he is an awful awful nhl goalie.Wouldn't be concerned if I was an Oilers fan yet.
Matt Tkachuk made a great point after the Panthers lost to Vegas in the cup final. He said the training camp along with the start of the next season was one of the hardest things he's had to prepare for mentally. Mostly because he, like I assume a lot of other guys on that roster were that devastated by the outcome.
Now imagine this from Edmonton's perspective. Go down 3-0, throw everything you have at clawing the series back to a game 7, only to get completely suffocated in said game 7 and lose in even more heartbreaking fashion than getting swept.
Guys like McDavid and Drai truly do look like superheroes most of the time, but even the strongest of wills would have a tough time shaking that. Everything you do will be haunted by that moment.
...outside of Stuart Skinner that is. He kinda just sucks.
Its a tragedy to see NHL teams that are legitimate cup contenders that spend their entire window with terrible NHL goaltending.he does suck and they wanna put him on team canada if i was in charge he wouldnt be getting a sniff near that team he is an awful awful nhl goalie.
You're saying those people spoke too early and should have waited till the 3 game mark, like you did?Good thing they went out and prioritized signing players like Jeff Skinner over broberg. Or made a flashy trade with a current serviceable nhler for a former top 10 pick that hasn't lived up to expectations.
Hilarious people were ready to make a statue for Jeff Jacksons short work of being gm and now his moves are looking like massive blunders.
The Oilers made the same offer sheet assumption that all 31 other teams make too. That offer sheets aren’t a viable threat. Which is why what St. Louis did should change the sport. We should be seeing offer sheets signed every summer. Time to blow up the good ole boys club and use offer sheets as intended.You're saying those people spoke too early and should have waited till the 3 game mark, like you did?
Well when the Oilers start a run and get near the top of the NHL feel free to tell me I'm wrong and that Jeff Jackson summer was amazing. I thought their summer was extremely overrated based on the reaction to fans and media, and 3 games in nothing has changed my mind, it has only further cemented my thinking.You're saying those people spoke too early and should have waited till the 3 game mark, like you did?
lalime was still levels above skinner come on now lmaoIts a tragedy to see NHL teams that are legitimate cup contenders that spend their entire window with terrible NHL goaltending.
Ottawa did it with Lalime
Vancouver had Dan Clouthier
Edmonton now going back to the well for a third year with Skinner.
Hes not it folks. Hes just not that guy.
I haven't.Did anyone make a Dig In joke yet?
And when McD signs his long term contract, it'll be "when does Bouchard pull the plug"....and when he signs, it'll be someone else. Face it, unlike you, players don't easily run from problems, they tend to face them and try to overcome them !

you should publish this state. Hyman and Skinner at age 32. Means their hockey skills suddenly disappear lmaO. Such a stupid comment. People say anything when a team is slow out of the gate. When the oilers pick it up and win 7 or 8 in a row, guys like you will go completely quiet. I’m not disagreeing that our team has vets and might be one of the older teams in the leagues, but you’re kidding yourself if you think guys like McD, Drai, Skinner and Hyman won’t pick it up. And once they do, the entire team starts to pick it up. Oilers have their issues and look like ass, no doubt about it, but you’re kidding yourself if you think they won’t pick it upI swear to God if the sport of basketball is mentioned again.
Like I was saying the oilers are an old and bad team.
Maybe so. But Skinner is in the conversation.No guys, it's not that the Oilers are slow & old, it's the refs!
This one had to sting the most for them
And Nurse is terrible. His flat out lousy play compounded with inflated contract is a huge problem for the Oilers.Oilers better hope Ekholm stays healthy all year because Bouchard has to be carried by him.
Oilers lost all their young guys, who played with energy and speed, over the summer. They are much different club than at the end of last season.you should publish this state. Hyman and Skinner at age 32. Means their hockey skills suddenly disappear lmaO. Such a stupid comment. People say anything when a team is slow out of the gate.

It is the oldest in the league. It's a fact.might be one of the older teams in the leagues,
