Post-Game Talk: This team has a problem in net

[soothsayer]

like last year?

Literally yes.

 

[Messrules11]

This is a good team sans Skinner. Anyone who can this defend this clown doesn’t know jack shit.

 

[McHelpus]

all 2 of them? if you told me Skinner would let in 3 goals TOTAL Games 6 and 7....I would've told you the Oilers win the Cup

And bobrovsky let in 1? He is always the 2nd best in net.

 

[Oilhawks]

and he outdueled Oetinger in the WCF

why are you so confident another goalie wont choke Hellybuyck-style in the playoffs?

So what? Why does every goalie need to either be Skinner who is inconsistent shit or a choker luke Hellasuck?

I watched the Hawks win with Niemi and Crawford in net. You don't need Hasek to win a f***ing Cup

 

[BlackDogg]

Getting a goalie is hard, so not talking about it is probably a way of dealing with that by management. If we don't admit its an issue, we can't fail at doing getting one.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Were the Oilers on a delayed penalty when the non-goal was scored? I thought I heard we were going on the PP. Then the Oilers scored. If the play was determined to be offside, we should have been on the PP following the review.

Sounds like the same refs who did the KC-Bills game did this one.

“Because the Oilers scored with a delayed call, that negated the delayed penalty, but because it was reviewed and then called no-goal, the original call on the ice was a goal, which still negates the original delayed penalty call. Because the Leafs won the goal challenge, that would have also negated the penalty.”
-the National Horseshit League explanation, probably

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Literally yes.

Skinner's fault McDavid and Draisaitl scored a grand total of 0 goals in Games 1 2 and 7

 

[Oilhawks]

im gonna rant about it again. this is not the spirit of the rule for offside challenges. there meant to catch blatant sh*t. not these things where the guy is 3-4 inches ahead of the puck on a zone entry.

but flashy they were technically offside and the rules are rules I hear you say

yes, this happens many times a game where players are ahead on zone entrys by a feet or two. sometimes the refs catch it some times they don't. but when a goal is scored this human element goes out the window because they need to get this call right but not the other 30 missed things.

they need to revamp the rule to a player having to be like 2 or 3 strides in the zone before the puck.

The offside rule has become bullshit so the league can influence the game. Gary needs to f*** off to retirement in Gnomeland or wherever the f*** he's going to live

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

And bobrovsky let in 1? He is always the 2nd best in net.

and the Oilers forwards were 2nd best in Games 1 2 and 7...you know, our strength

 

[K1984]

A buried headline is Stuart Skinner physically can’t play well against two specific teams - Leafs and Nucks.

We’ve lost both to the Leafs this year for basically no reason other than Skinner, and I believe he basically tossed the game there last year too if I remember right. Nucks? I think he’s had 1 good game against them in his last 10 and that was Game 6 when we rolled them.

Shit like this pisses me off because this should be something the team recognizes and manages, not me while sitting on my couch slugging beer. Just stop playing him against these two f***ing teams.

 

[BlackDogg]

This is a good team sans Skinner. Anyone who can this defend this clown doesn’t know jack shit.

Ironically, it is. If he goes on maternity leave as someone said.

 

[Vagabond]

Bowen better get us a starting goaltender. Skinner isn't even close to hold the fort in the playoffs.

 

[TheSuperElite]

lol, I can't wait for the crying when the Oilers do nothing about goaltending at the deadline

why does that bring you satisfaction?

 

[MessierII]

Skinner's fault McDavid and Draisaitl scored a grand total of 0 goals in Games 1 2 and 7

Well Draisaitl scored zero goals games 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 if we’re being technical.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

So what? Why does every goalie need to either be Skinner who is inconsistent shit or a choker luke Hellasuck?

I watched the Hawks win with Niemi and Crawford in net. You don't need Hasek to win a f***ing Cup

Hawks never played in a Cup final Game 7 cause they showed up in Games 1 and 2

 

[Soundwave]

No we aren’t. Coming into tonight Vegas, Florida, Colorado, Columbus, Carolina and Tampa all had more goals for than us. I don’t know that it shuffled that much after tonight.

Sorry I saw you said per game. I was just saying raw goals for.

Why would you use raw goals for? That's stupid, some teams have played more games than others. Unless you are at game 82 for every team, you look at per game.

 

[Oilhawks]

Getting a goalie is hard, so not talking about it is probably a way of dealing with that by management. If we don't admit its an issue, we can't fail at doing getting one.

The worst part is it's one of the lowest cost player types to trade for...but, you know

Was Cam Talbot the last actual goalie this org has traded for? They clearly don't take what's arguably the most important position in the game seriously

 

[Canovin]

good until he cost us the tying goal by going offside

One too many stick handling by McDavid

 

[Oilhawks]

Hawks never played in a Cup final Game 7 cause they showed up in Games 1 and 2

They also had goalies that made routine stops and didn't lose them winnable games.

Skinner cost them game 4 in the Finals. Oilers should have won in 6

Well Draisaitl scored zero goals games 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 if we’re being technical.

Leon was injured. What's was Stu's excuse aside from being a mental midget piece of trash?

 

[MessierII]

Why would you use raw goals for? That's stupid, some teams have played more games than others. Unless you are at game 82 for every team, you look at per game.

Either way 6th isn’t good enough either. We should be the top scoring team or damn close to it.

 

[Mr Positive]

and he outdueled Oetinger in the WCF

why are you so confident another goalie wont choke Hellybuyck-style in the playoffs?

I'd be fine with keeping Skinner but adding another, well chosen goalie to share the net. Find someone on a non playoff team with good stats. There are fortunately (or unfortunately) many to pick from who have better stats than Skinner.

I would bet it would be shocking how quickly that goalie would be our next Roloson. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we should figure that out before Skinner demands 8 million based on on how deep in the playoffs the Oilers got

 

[soothsayer]

Skinner's fault McDavid and Draisaitl scored a grand total of 0 goals in Games 1 2 and 7

Your argument that Skinner is fine is that Bobrovsky shut out the Oilers stars. Well done. Has anyone won a cup with a goalie who had a .901 % btw?

 

[Oilhawks]

A buried headline is Stuart Skinner physically can’t play well against two specific teams - Leafs and Nucks.

We’ve lost both to the Leafs this year for basically no reason other than Skinner, and I believe he basically tossed the game there last year too if I remember right. Nucks? I think he’s had 1 good game against them in his last 10 and that was Game 6 when we rolled them.

Knob is too busy burying J Skinner to worry about silly things like managing goalies that suck vs certain teams.

Maybe he thinks that's all voodoo or something anyhow haha...

 

[Shanahanigans]

The same media that has it out for Bouchard every night has absolutely nothing to say about Skinner. Never change Oilers MSM.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

They also had goalies that made routine stops and didn't lose them winnable games.

Skinner cost them game 4 in the Finals. Oilers should have won in 6

if the Oilers score 2 goals in Game 2, they win in 5...instead they decided not to score more than 1 goal in 2 games cause "scoring is too hard against Bob!"

see, I can play that game too
