I can’t believe people are all over Skinner. What frickin game are you watching?

It's not the 100 things you do right, it's the one thing you do wrong. The tying goal was f***ing pathetic meanwhile Korpisalo is standing on his head at the other end.

 

[djbard99]

I disagree. Game management is: make up calls, ticky-tack calls, phantom calls to have the powerplays equal or within one of each other.

LA isn't playing penalty-free hockey. The refs are choosing not to call them for anything.

Imagine blaming the refs for this catastrophic implosion. Imagine flayling your stick 15 ft in the air and thinking it’s a good idea.

 

[nabob]

the Mcdavid line hasn't worked a single shift in this series it seems and Woodcroft playing with his thumbs instead changing things up.

They’ve easily been the Oilers worst line.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Kane with one of the dumbest penalties I have ever seen.

 

[Kerberos]

Both goals he didn't seal the post when the goalscorer was by far in the most dangerous offensive position.

Not sure if it's nerves or what but Skinner seems rattled. His positioning hasn't been as solid as it was towards the end of the regular season in either game so far.

 

[Da McBomb]

I wondered to myself whether iNuge would be good in these playoffs as he was in the regular season. So far he's showing me he's not cut for the high intensity playoffs

 

[McHelpus]

People need to stop talking about last year... it's getting so nauseating to keep reading how great Kane/Hyman played last year.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Well what's done is done, go out and win the 3rd period boys. Those at the game, ramp up the noise, show the team that we believe in them and help give them that little extra boost that they might need to win this one.

 

[TB12]

At least we know the entire 3rd period will be played at 5 on 5 (unless the oilers score 2 quick ones)


or Draisaitl farts in idiot Koala’s direction.

 

[Patch101]

Its Skinners net, Campbell's not an option imo.

I do hope they shake up that top 6 though, its not connecting.

 

[iCanada]

The one where he let in two bad goals.

Yeah idk he needs to have both of those.

He makes first save and it's teaching pick but just doesn't seal post. It's a fundamentals failure.

 

[5 14 6 1]

They didn't even score on the PK

Yup. It's not like we are down on the scoreboard. This game is there for the taking

 

[Drivesaitl]

Before the series I said that I felt that McDavid, Hyman and Kostin were not healthy. I haven't seen anything that makes me think otherwise to this point.

feel the same way but Nuge has to elevate. He has to show leadership in playoffs, he said so. I'm not spotting it.

Still Drai played the entire playoffs with a worse injury than McD's is looking like. Hyman, you could see he's in a lot of pain.

 

[Shizuka]

the Mcdavid line hasn't worked a single shift in this series it seems and Woodcroft playing with his thumbs instead changing things up.

He's likely giving them rope since it's two of our 100+ guys, and an 80+ guy on the other wing but they have been MIA. Completely invisible and non-factors. Likely doesn't want to mess up Draisaitl's mojo but he needs to switch something up. That 'top line' has looked like the 4th line.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Oil big guns getting crushed in the face-off dot. McDavid at 29%. Draisaitl at 33%. Can't remember ever these two getting smoked like this.

 

[LTIR]

Hyman has been just as useless with Kane and Yama not far behind

Bottom 6 and Drai have brought it so far. Janmark loss is big.

 

[snipes]

Both those goals against were brutal

 

[ohheyhemsky]

LA has no reason to even be in this game. But more of the same. Shooting ourselves in the foot constantly.

 

[dem]

The Oilers are not a team that relies on perfect goaltending to win. He’s made huge saves as well.


If the top line did frickin ANYTHING this game would be out of reach by now.


McDavid has been a NO SHOW

Either the top line figures it out or we lose. That’s it.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Skinner lets in pretty much identical garbage goals in on each post.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

I hate listening to Singh

 

[TB12]

Alright, I’m done pouting. Just win one f***ing period and this series is right f***ing there for the taking.

 

[Oilhawks]

100%. Skinner, hell, Campbell having mediocre games didn't keep this team from scoring some actual goals. The entire first line is wearing this. Embarrassing no shows.

 

[BlackDogg]

1. No powerplays and all kills
2. Beer league goalie vs good goalie
3. Mc David and Nuge not showing up
