Post-Game Talk: The Sieve We Know

[Duder54]

That last goal was so bad it's almost comical. Kind of sums up the season for me.

 

[CupofOil]

Man a goalie would have been a good acquisition.

They have a goalie that's been better sitting right there on the bench. They lose this series and we better see some firings, the decision making from coaches to management has been baffling all season tbh.

 

[MessierThanThou]

It is so frustrating that every logical fan knew we needed an upgrade in net, begged for it all year long, management for some bizarre unknown reason thought we were fine, and we have the predictable result tonight. Beyond pissed.

I mean we only had two consecutive playoffs where he collapsed in half of the rounds he played and actively cost us critical games.... It's not like anyone expected this.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Stu Skinner masterclass.

Kings are the exact same team as the previous years.

The hubris of this management team to double down on this shit goaltending is hilarious

 

[harpoon]

Just can’t take two periods off and expect to win.

Brutal way to lose.

The way you were posting today you should have a permanent board ban. Just disgraceful.

 

[iCanada]

Imagine being McDavid and leading that comeback with a legendary performance just to watch that soft as f*** goal go in to end it.

Like... Give me fan Cloutier at this point.

Literally a 50 year old Cloutier.

Or, hear me out. The goalie doesn't let in a floater from above the circles. He wasn't even looking anywhere near the puck, he had already lost sight of it before Foegele got in front of him

Can't move side to side worth a shit and can't track the puck worth a shit.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Hear me out carefully. I don't blame Skinner on that last goal. It was a fluke shot when considering flub shot combined with the screen. He never would have expected it to be that kind of shot. That said, it is totally his fault for that shot to even matter. I totally blame him for 2 or 3 goals, with help from Bouchard. Skinner made that last shot matter.

f*** that. That puck moved so slow he had time to see it AND react. But he didn’t.

 

[McHelpus]

You all do realize a win would have been a sweep for us right?

 

[Tarus]

As bad as Skinner is, Kemper isn't much better.

Couple of years ago when Edmonton got swept by the Aves on their track to a cup win, Kuemper getting injured basically put the series out of reach for Edmonton because the backup could actually stop pucks and shut down the Oiler's offense. Seeing that a bit here as well, if Edmonton starts playing with a high level of intensity for more than just 1/3 of the game(when they're already down), they'll find that they can score at will against Kuemp in the same way they did against Korpisalo, Talbot, and Quick.

 

[bellagiobob]

We can’t have our D playing that many minutes every night. Play Dineen, I’m confident he can give us 12-14 minutes.

 

[russ99]

Pickard isn’t going look like an all star and probably not going to stand on his head but he’s not going to give up such awful goals and at least get in position to make a save. He’s also all we got after that pathetic display so it behooves the skaters to help him out more and stop giving up on plays and get in there and tie up a guy.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Oh yeah, fire Jackson, Bowman, and Schwartz. This is their team.

 

[soothsayer]

McDavid looked absolutely deflated after that final goal went in. You could see him shaking his head and mouthing the words, "come on, man". Go back and look. You know he was fuming, man.

I saw that too. And you know exactly who he was saying that to.

 

[Oilhawks]

It could be a crushing W as well. Kings now know their goaltending is just as questionable as ever and frankly Kuemper was complete garbage in this game. For Kings they know they gave up a 4 goal lead.

Just start Pickard and I think we got this. If the team insists on continuing to start Skinner it deserves whatever it gets. its basically handing the Kings a couple goals.

Skinner lets in 6G in 58mins of action. Thats more than a GA every 10mins.

Kings can score a bit this year. They know Skinner. Its a mistake to have him in.

Yup. Kings can't feel that confident after this game

Unless the Oilers are dumb enough to start Skinner again

 

[McTedi]

Both Bouchard and Skinner were both equal parts of suck in this game. So deflating after the comeback.

 

[K1984]

You guys can shit on Skinner but WTF how did the Oilers allow that setup, screen, and shot with no time left? The entire thing was f***ing embarrassing.

Bouchard. Again.

 

[Chet Manley]

Or, hear me out. The goalie doesn't let in a floater from above the circles. He wasn't even looking anywhere near the puck, he had already lost sight of it before Foegele got in front of him

I said you can shit on the goalie so what's the issue?

 

[Drai Fi]

Say whatever you want about this leadership group, they don’t f***ing quit. Ever. I’m glad to cheer for guys who care about winning so much.

That being said, the decision to soil this groups tenacity and refusal to give up with Stuart f***ing Skinner is just an abomination.

Start Pickard

 

[russ99]

We can’t have our D playing that many minutes every night. Play Dineen, I’m confident he can give us 12-14 minutes.

Even 10 would be a help.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

McDavid put the team on his back on the 3rd but but is undone by a bad knuckle puck floater that Skinner needed to save

need to start on time for Game 2

glad the usual Game 1 L is over with

 

[Oilerfan4lyfe]

Lmao @ people in GDT telling me to “use my eyes” and defending Stu. Any other goalie in the league wins us this game.

I know I posted this already but screw Skinner

 

[Jay Harris]

Oil can absolutely beat this team.... With decent goaltending ... Goalie doesn't need to steal games just be solid and reliable.
