Water off a ducks back.

 

[Mr Kot]

Curse you Brodeur!!!

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Skinner need to stay in his net.

I've heard this a lot, but I think a goalie like Skinner relies on playing the puck to get a feel for it early on. I also think a lot of the Oilers defence relies on an aggressive goalie willing to play the puck.

 

[Mr Positive]

Watch Vegas get a goal off of this and then EDM will be on their heels or something. lol

Or we get momentum by killing it!

 

[mkatcherin00]

Catching some of this on my phone
Seema like Oilers lose every pk faceoff

 

[DrDrai]

Skinner should just stay in his net

He leaves it too much

Leaves way too much and for pucks that don’t need a goalies touch.

 

[Gnome17]

Skinner just wanted to make some more saves, I get it

 

[drhiii]

You must be the only Avs fan who doesn't hate the Oilers.

Yeah... admit it is annoying af to hear the constant harping on about this from others. Not me. Have become a big fan of Draisaitl's game.

I am pulling for you guys, for reals.

 

[Louis Cypher]

Shorty. Come on!

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

So ... the trapezoid. Help me understand why it's needed. A big problem with the officiating today is the NHL overcomplicating its rule book with mindless stuff like this and so many soft, subjective call types of penalties.

 

[RattsSSV]

Way to go Stuey

His puckhandling is pretty terrible. Good think he now has a strong stick. lol.

 

[BlackDogg]

This is the real answer.

The combo of these last few minutes anyway

He just has 20% of the time where I feel he misjudges the play. But he is a rookie goalie.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Only 3 times in these first 10 games have the Oilers had more PP's than their opponent.

Scumfaces that say the Oilers get preferential treatment on penalty calls can suck a cancerous elephant dick.

Players are fast enough now that you probably don't need the rule. Goalies aren't gonna go into the corners these days.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

f***ing trapezoids

It was made because of Brodeur. And only after he got all his cups lol

Personally I liked how you could have these aggressive passing roaming goalies

Goalies used to get the puck and skate around with it and then got in trouble and hurt etc. At least if I remember. It has been years. lol

 

[tardigrade81]

Skinner coming up big.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Bad penalty to take but he's making up for it.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Yep that's exactly it, we're attempting to grow Skinner into a positionally-sound Mike Smith. Fortunately the former is already god-given.

 

[BlackDogg]

Oilers need to get the ball rolling again

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Phew nice to get a whistle thank you stuey

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

2 huge kills!
