[PULSATING]

I know it's easy to blame the goatlender, and he hasn't played out of his mind, but many of these goals are on the defense and forwards. The defensive system is trash.

He's lost out there

 

[Old Boys Club]

This team has been DOA since mid january, you could sense this coming. Even if they were fully healthy I don't think they'd go far.

 

[frag2]

Missing Ekholm is massive. But so is having a goalie that just never comes up with that big save.

Forget big save

A save would be nice

 

[GMofOilers]

Kempe has 7 points in 2 games

Mcdavid and Drai would have 20 combined in 2 games shooting on not my fault Skinner

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Same old shit entering the offensive zone. Maybe start firing pucks and have guys go to the net!

f*** start shooting picks right at the dmen.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

THAT slash gets him tossed? what the f*** are we even doing here? NHL needs to protect their shit LA pets?

 

[MikeS24]

his last goal was on Pickard

And the other 11 tis series were on the other guy

 

[Oilhawks]

Curious why now exactly was the right time to pull Skinner. They let him play after the fifth goal was scored. Is it because he’s laughing at the crowd serenading him now? I thought it was odd when the broadcast showed him engaging with Doughty during a tv timeout earlier in the game when the players were skating to their benches. Most goalies would ignore him. We pick apart Skinner’s physical talents often on this board. A bigger issue of his is his lack of mental focus.

Because this coach is an absolute empty suit. He needs to be fired

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Someone show some anger and fight going to game 3 maybe??
Just a thought

oilers will get suspended, the nhl would rather they go off quiet.

If they want to target anyone, smoke the f***ing clowns reffing the game.

NHL quality will be better with McCauley is in hospice.

 

[Zerotonine]

New Skinner would be are Achilles, but I honestly couldn't of imagined he would even be this bad.

11 fking goals in less then 2 games

Were is bowman now? He still happy with the goaltending???

 

[Heavy Dee]

Knobby and Skinner continue to cost this org

Nah. This is all on Jackson and Bowman. We all knew what Skinner was.

 

[iCanada]

his last goal was on Pickard

I mean Pickard came in cold against a guy on a heater subsequent to Skinner shitting the bed.

 

[Booker T]

Missing Ekholm is massive. But so is having a goalie that just never comes up with that big save.

I agree, but at sometime, blaming the goalie has to stop. I get having a goalie to shift momentum when the team is low, but the defense and forwards have f***ing let out Skinner to dry this game.

 

[Patch101]

Zach Hyman has had a massive regression from last year.

I wonder if he's been hurt. He looks slow.

 

[snag]

Someone show some anger and fight going to game 3 maybe??
Just a thought

inflict as much unsuspendable pain as possible

 

[MikeS24]

Far too late for that. The rest of the league caught on to RNH's ineffectiveness a decade ago. Best chance to get rid of him was to let him walk as a UFA a few years ago, now they're stuck with him and that NMC

He is best friends with Rod Brindamour, so maybe something could be done there, but I doubt it.

This org doesn't know what it means to get uncomfortable. Timid zero needle moving Nuge was always going to be a lifer here

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Because this coach is an absolute empty suit. He needs to be fired

Pretty sure his DR told him to keep his heart rate at a resting rate.

I've never seen this guy get upset.

 

[Booker T]

He's lost out there

That tends to happen when the defense is skating around without their heads.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

They obviously don't want a deep playoff run again.
Saving themselves for next year. That's what I'm going with.
Ride or die for Connor.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

inflict as much unsuspendable pain as possible

For the Oilers, theres not much they can do.

a 2 hand slash like Pietrangelo is a 10 game suspension to a canadian team.

This. Media, and the majority of posters here think he took a discount.

 

[Da McBomb]

f***ing SpittinChiclets getting so annoying with all these harmonica tweets

 

[rboomercat90]

Now the f***tard pulls him. f***ing moron. Watch him start Stu on Friday.

He started tonight. That tells you everything you need to know. He’ll be starting Friday too.

 

[McBigYak]

This team is back to 2019-2022 Oilers a two man show, not going to win without the rest of the team contributing something.

Coach is making it a two man show. He absolutely caved 2 periods into this series and stapled them together.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

I wonder if he's been hurt. He looks slow.

I have thought so.
