Post-Game Talk: We have a major Oil leak now

[bellagiobob]

Don't want to be accused of being a body language expert, but does Drai give Stu a pretty shitty look and/or potentially say something to him there?

Almost looked he was fake lunging at a fan who made a disparaging remark? Dunno.

Go get both Gibson an Vejmelka
Skinner and pickard out
Team needs a major shake up

 

[Messrules11]

skinner is the worst "starter" in the nhl

3 years running

 

[iCanada]

Consistently awful.

Including tonight; 9 putrid starts, one average start, and two good starts.

Just not good enough.

 

[LTIR]

Can we get a goaltender yet?

Good Lord.

Some defense would be nice as well.

 

[FlameChampion]

I thought we played a lot better today. Intensity and effort were at least present.

- Mcdavid was much better
- Stuart Skinner was better
- Nuge was better
- Podkolzin in the bottom 6 is great

It's a step in the right direction at least, but man do we need Wingers for Drai.

Leon disagrees

 

[Cloned]

To be fair, that face off occurred with 13 seconds left. Skinner didn’t have enough time to make it back to the bench.

He could’ve tried at least.

 

[DarksideGhost]

Leon is I cannot blame him. Skinner has been shit all season. TDL need a new goalie!

 

[Dieseloil]

I thought I played well Stu, under my glove and too slow to get my pad out. Looks like a sick hooker reaching for the curb.

 

[MoontoScott]

Trade them both this week. Nuge can be 3c. You can take Arvidssons spot.

Good idea but who wants Arvi and Henry for 7M next season?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Honestly that would be pretty funny.

If they can’t figure out how to elevate their game and get some saves, it’s a very plausible scenario

 

[bellagiobob]

We set out this season to make sure that we didn’t finish second yet again in the Pacific.

But I’m not sure that finishing third was on their bingo card.

At this point I’m seriously worried about just making the playoffs. Far from guaranteed.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Some defense would be nice as well.

And a GM. And some scouts.

Hell, just blow up the org to be safe.

 

[BlackDogg]

We have a Skindemic

All the galaxy brains in the media - “hoW CaN yOU EVeN gEt a gOAliE wITh tHE cAP!?”

You send Skinner the other way. He’s an attractive piece coming back for a team that isn’t going to win this year that are shipping goalies out. There’s your answer. Then we don’t have to argue over this bullshit anymore.

Just get rid of him at this point for f*** sakes. There is no length of run of good play (and he had one for about two months this year) that will prevent this fool from having multi week craters. Just be done with it.

 

[Shanahanigans]

97 and Hyman get passes from me but aside from Leon, the rest of the forward group are literally cardio merchants. You could trade San Jose’s bottom 6 for ours without much drop off.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

If they don’t win the division they won’t have a chance at the Cup.

And they don’t seem interested in turning things around. I think it’s time to surrender.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Sure looked like Drai lost his shit at Skinner as they went off the ice there...

need clip

 

[Zguy370]

That 4th goal might be one of the worst I have seen.


The team is fragile and Skinner's out there looking at air next to his glove, not reacting to the puck that bounced back to Verhaeghe who just got a weak backhand off.

3 years running

Yup, but nothing to see here apparently, move along

 

[FlameChampion]

Trade them both this week. Nuge can be 3c. You can take Arvidssons spot.

Might as well trade Nuge while you’re at it

 

[rboomercat90]

Drai giving the sieve a frustrated look. Can’t blame him. f*** off, Stu. Keep your useless ass in Florida.

Maybe now would be a good time for Matheson to ask Leon why he’s so pissy.

Nobody wants our trash. That’s the thing about being a shitty org. Teams will ask for good pieces because they know we are desperate.

But according to the oilers front office, Gibson wouldn't be much of an upgrade

Honestly it's the only one average start that has been most concerning.

The dude is only hot or cold (and this season it far more often cold), as there is zero middle ground in game.
