Post-Game Talk: The Sieve We Know

[Drivesaitl]

Still resonates to this day after months ago. f*** Stuart Skinner.

For those not in the know this is the moment that Drai sarcastically slams the stanchion like Skinner slams the goalposts to start games. Complete mocking.

We're blaming the Kings of mocking Skinner? They're doing us a favor. Both teams know Skinner is a clown. How can it be more obvious than to just pull him and problem solved.

 

[Yuke]

And yet, even though all of that is true...we win this game if Stu stops even one of the two shots a league average goalie should stop.

Stu played better than Kemper

 

[Oilhawks]

I’m gonna stray off the beaten path a bit here and say I don’t think it’s Knob’s call who starts.

Knob was pretty critical of Skinner down the stretch and I don’t get the feeling he particularly likes him as a goalie.

If we’re gonna blame someone here it should probably be Schwartz.

Head coach has to have the cajones to override the goalie coach, who should be answering to him

Why the f*** is Schwartz still here anyhow? Makes 0 sense

Pretty embarrassing photo. But not many guys that have "been there" left in that group, to be fair.

 

[McAsuno]

Well I call it as it is not the Bias this hive mind board runs on. He was screened on a shot that went no where near where it’s was expected to go.

The whole team played like garbage for over two periods, giving up lots of chances and only generating 6 shots through the first half of the game. The Kings played the better game and had the refs gift them prime opportunities at the perfect time.

Skinner put up a -2.79 GSXx performance DUDE???????????
How the f*** can you still seriously defend him? Good God.

The only hive mind on here is yours when you're the ONLY one here still defending Skinner even after that horseshit goaltending performance by him tonight.
You Dustin Schwartz burner account by any chance? Utter f***ing nonsense.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Skinner is 6'4 and plays like he's 4'6. I've never seen such a big goalie be so small while in the butterfly position. Your ridiculous schtick of Skinner defending is getting old

He looks like Darren Pang in net

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Well, time to sleep off this loss. Have to take dad to radiation treatments tomorrow and that’s a lot more important than this stupid team.

 

[foshizzle]

Reid Wilkins on EST implying Skinner played the 5 on 3 goal against like an AHL goalie was great.

We have a new comedian here! Welcome @Yuke Thanks for the laughs, Yuke, we could definitely use some levity after the game tonight.

 

[Dirty Mind]

Kempe and Gavrikov mocking (deserved) fat f*** moustache post game.

Good. I hope more and more players mock our POS goaltender.

 

[Drivesaitl]

For sure. Kempe goal celebration was a bit much too. They treat this like its a cup win. But I'd be mocking Skinner too and I do so I can't say much.

Well lets see what happens in game 2 and who we got. Pickard, Kane, hopefully.

 

[VetPresence]

If Stu doesn’t want to be laughed at by the opposition, he should stop playing like a clown. Pretty simple stuff.

 

[Cloned]

We don’t know what the hierarchy is though.

And given Schwartz has not only survived multiple head coaches but multiple GMs and POHOs as well, I’m more inclined to think he has more influence than he should.

I'd say "add this photo to the dressing room to lit a fire under Stu's ass" for him to be better but Stu would rather look at the image, then proceed to look for a podcast or book on how to deal with people mocking mustaches.

Asking him to be at least average is like asking for a lotto max win at this point holy f***.

 

[Tarus]

Does it even matter at this point? The guy is basically unplayable

It matters because the Oilers have basically backed themselves into corner with no backup plan. I like Pickard, but I don't see him carrying this team in the playoffs this year.

Trying to be at least a little bit optimistic I guess. It's been one game and the Oilers just about pulled off a massive comeback, not ready to go full on doom and gloom.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Reid Wilkins on EST implying Skinner played the 5 on 3 goal against like an AHL goalies was great.

Is he not an AHL goalie?

He's not the type you light a fire under. He'd just sit there in the butterfly burning like a dope.

 

[McFlyingV]

Well Skinner was downright awful and pissed away an epic comeback by McDavid. Bouchard had a bad game, but he's capable of being a lot better than that. I see no reason not to start Pickard on Wednesday.

Overall team played pretty bad and still almost won that thing. Reminiscent of previous game 1s against LA. Kuemper and the LA defence is not an unbreakable wall. Hopefully Kane in next game to smash these guys around a little bit.

Absolutely laughable officiating not once, not twice, but three times. First they call a shoulder to shoulder hit an "illegal contact to the head" penalty. Then they call a cross check to the chest with an Oscar level head flip by Danault (after ignoring Byfield punching McDavid in the back of the head). And to top it off they signal "deflected off the glass" on Walman's penalty, change their mind, and then screw up the video review when it clearly changes direction and spin off the glass. What an embarrassment that was, but again not really anything out of the norm to what I'm used to.

Hope the team comes out flying in game 2. This Kings team isn't any better than previous years, but the Oilers have some interesting hurdles with injuries and Skinner going full sieve in net this year. McDrai can still win this series themselves if the goaltending and defensive errors can just tighten up a bit.

 

[McAsuno]

Your immaturity doesn't help your cause

Your second burner @CROTT nice try.

 

[Sheikyerbouti]

Our goalie sucks, but this roster is busted. Our d is not big enough for the playoffs.

If Kane can skate he should skate on the 4rth line. I hope JSkinner enjoyed the playoff game lol

 

[McAsuno]

He's not the type you light a fire under. He'd just sit there in the butterfly burning like a dope.

He's probably chomping on shitty pizza 73 pizzas right now too. Fat f*** sieve.

 

[MikeS24]

How about that media though all year

"Blackwood is just a lateral move at best"

Absolute buffoon jobbers

Especially Lowetide. I had to stop listening to the boring sounding dude after he kept stroking Skinners shlong all year and would have no talk about upgrading lol.

Then some woman with hard numbers cut down Skinner an he kind of changes his mind pre deadline.

Just remember folks. Him and most of the media. They are not that smart. Don't put too much into anything these guys talk about.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Kempe and Gavrikov mocking (deserved) fat f*** moustache post game.

Wow if I were a king fan I’d hate this photos team has lost to the oilers 3 years running and barely eeks out a game on the back of a terrible goaltending performance after being up 4-0 and they start acting cocky.

Perennial losers Gavrikov and Kempe smiling it up. Glad they’ll never win a cup in their career playing for the Kings

 

[McFlyingV]

Reid Wilkins on EST implying Skinner played the 5 on 3 goal against like an AHL goalies was great.

If we're being honest goal 2, 5, and 6 were all awful by Skinner. Defence (mainly Bouchard) left him out to dry on the other 3.
