Oilers fans and the rest of us have to listen to Hararayan Singh so we all lose
What's wrong with him as a broadcaster?
He's better than that Michales by who normaly does oiler pbp

From his rookie year we know this?Regular season means nothing. We all know in the Playoffs Skinner is a sieve.
No I don't, but I'd take Skinner quite easily over LA's duo.You think the Oilers have good goaltending? They never learn should have signed a quality goalie.
This x100. Horrible broadcaster that has no buisness calling nationally televised gamesOilers fans and the rest of us have to listen to Hararayan Singh so we all lose
For LA... They have to get under our skin. Just drive is crazy. And they absolutely have the guys to do that. Danault and doughty come to mind.. total pain in the asses. Punch mcdrai after every whistle. Coax Nurse into fighting. Piss off Kane and get him off focus. Of course.. they will be pissed when Perry takes out both their starters from falling in the crease on Talbot and then rittich.lol
Ftr.. and I know I have a bias.. but rittich is a big part of why they got there and has great stats. I'm not 100 Talbot should be the starter. Maybe my bias though.
Rittich is .921 and he came in when it looked like LA wouldn't make the dance.
Talbot is .913.
Nice problem to have. Skinner is .910 and I don't think anyone wants to see Pickard in a playoff game (he's played great but I just don't see him as a playoff hero)
Oilers always make it hard on themselves and Kings play hard. Dont really get the Oil in 4 predictions.
Kings are greasy enough (in a good way) to steal at least one or two off the Oil.
Kings are going to get wrecked.
The only potential way they could pull it off is on the sheer momentum of not wanting to lose three times in a row to the same team. That will is hard to measure on paper.
Otherwise, this will be a quick series.
The Oilers have abused Kopitar two years in a row. It isn't 2012.
Yeah I think the problem is when the Kings are playing on their toes and aggressive--they can go toe to toe with almost anyone. Maybe they won't win, but it's entertaining, and they have the guys with the spirit for it. I LOVE that version of the team, it's a good, deep roster if not a 'true' contender. But they just f***ING DONT and always sink into the passive 1-3-1 which is a loser's strategy even if you're winning. I don't know in what world you take guys like Doughty and Fiala who WANT to get engaged and Kempe who is better when emotionally invested (don't poke the bear) and say "don't play hockey. Just don't. Don't do it. Let McDavid have the puck, take it behind his own net, and come slalom your whole team full speed. We've got this." I don't know why you go and get all these speedy waterbug forecheckers and big bodies whose biggest strengths are stripping pucks in the offensive zone by putting pressure on guys and just...refuse to play to their strengths. I'm sick of numbers relating to the Kings, like 1-3-1 and playing a f***ing stupid 11-7 lineup (where the bottom guys only get 4-5 min, so basically 9-5) and OH about to be 0 for infinity in playoff series in the Blake regime.
But Blake has no excuses anymore--this is exactly the team he wanted on the year he wanted it and fully healthy with the chance to try out his toy PLD against exactly the team he got him for and yes I tried to say that with a straight face like the entire hockey world isn't laughing with us at him
I think everyone in Edmonton is fearing 3rd time is the charm. Especially when we're THIS favored.
There's something that feels 'off' with this years matchup with LA. Like we're half expecting to self-implode.
If LA wins more than two games in the series (they likely will), the entire city will meltdown.
Singh has the worst goal calls I have ever heard.What's wrong with him as a broadcaster?
He's better than that Michales by who normaly does oiler pbp
Not gonna lie, was hoping for Vegas in the 1st round.
Sick of this Kings matchup. Also think its testing fate trying to beat the same team 3 playoffs in a row.
Best of luck to the Kings. Oilers in 6 again.
???This is the least dangerous Kings team you guys have faced.
The best chance we had against you was last year. But Rob Blake gutted our depth to bring in dopes like PLD, and now we’re significantly worse.
This should be a cakewalk for the Oilers. This LA team is probably the third worst team in the playoffs behind the Capitals and Islanders.
Oilers better hope Skinner can keep up his play and that coach doesn’t trot out Nurse and Ceci. Those are the weak links

Skinner is a starter but like, he has one of the heaviest work loads in the league, its insane and a disservice too him.Skinner's numbers have already been declining for the past 2 months. I find it funny that the Oilers management think that this guy can handle a Marty Brodeur workload. Skinner is a 1B starter at best.
Or take stupid penaltiesOilers have to do a good job defending pesky pesky Kempe and Ardvidsson and they will be okay. Thankfully the Kings traded away the other two pesky Kings in Iafallo + Vilardi
Fiala is good but he always seems to get banged up on some weird freak accident play
I can't understand why you are upset about this?!? You are being unrealistic IMOSo 10pm and 10:30 est starts... f*** right off NHL schedulers. 1030 starts means 11 pick drop. Way to make sure no one sees the games except the diehards.

Flames fans just glom onto whoever the Oilers are playing to feel any small modicum of joy. They're like ticks.Hilarious to see Flames fans talking up LA and then LA fans calmly explaining that the Kings suck . I think LA is underrating their chances here but those exchanges are hilarious.
that's certainly an opinion. One of the opinions of all time.To me Skinner is a low end starter, bottom 5 in the NHL. I wouldnt want him on a team that has to win now.
I'd even choose No Save Dave Rittich over him
I am one of his bigger critics, but he has been MUCH better with the stupid stick infractions.Or take stupid penalties
You guys, he was a rookie last year. Give the guy a breakSkinner gives me Freddy Andersen vibes. A really good, borderline elite goalie who seems to lose the ability to play the position when the pressure is on.
His voice, his inability to control his excitement and project his voice properly, his tone and his general vocal mannerisms.What's wrong with him as a broadcaster?
He's better than that Michales by who normaly does oiler pbp
You just did lmaoI am one of his bigger critics, but he has been MUCH better with the stupid stick infractions.
My theory is a combination of the coaching change and when Doughty called a few selfish players out. Something clicked with Fiala.
f***, I hope that I didn't jinx it... lol
