GDT: Working Vacation. Oilers v Blues 10 PM Rio Time.

[5 14 6 1]

Haven't turned a game off in a while but good night

Yup right there with you

 

[Ibanez]

Skinjob sucks worse.

We still need someone else to take over when he goes on the skids like this.

Hopefully holland is working those phones!!!

Skinner is fine. For a time. Then he poops his pants and we need someone to support him

 

[Oilhawks]

Yeah time to trade Foegele and Ceci.

It won't matter unless they get some goaltending insurance.

Holland has not done that his entire tenure here, and I doubt Jeffy will be (this season) either.

 

[RandomGuy79]

Lol calm down.

Don’t make yourself look like a complete idiot.

It's not like we are 10 pts up on a wild card spot, we are very much not guaranteed a spot yet.

 

[unicornBLOOD]

I guess the hunt for a goalie is on again

you're blaming this on Skinner? You're nuts.

 

[ConnorNova0929]

Have the oilers played good hockey since the All Star break ? Not counting the odd 3rd period.

They played great against Vegas and lost a close game since then it's been meh.

This team just craters mentally when they face any sort of adversity. Teams lose and they need to figure out how to not let that affect them so badly.

 

[mkatcherin00]

Oilers were begging to be blown out the past few games

Blues just granted that wish lol

 

[GhostfaceWu]

lol don’t count me in that crowd. I don’t mind the player but he’s been useless for awhile

Perfect player to get salary out. It won’t hurt us at all

It happens so often on this board a third liner paces for like 40 pts playing shotgun with McDavid or Leon but does jack shit in the bottom siz and people are ready to throw away the kanes of this team.

 

[Wreckus]

Yeah time to trade Foegele and Ceci.

agreed

 

[CupofOil]

Relax dude. Every team lays an egg sometimes

Some overreactions going on but the team has laid A LOT of eggs lately. The Vegas game is the one game. They haven't played a good game other than that one since.... Toronto in mid January?

 

[Da McBomb]

One more post before I go..

Waive f***ing Connor Brown

 

[iCanada]

Unlucky.

 

[TheNumber4]

From puck drop that period we got pumped. I’d blame 2 goals on Skinner still. But no way in hell that period is on him. Team got caved.

 

[Ibanez]

Yup right there with you

Time to go feed the baby and put her to bed. Normally I would have it on my phone during.

I think I’ll just sit there in silence instead

 

[5 14 6 1]

problem is that LA won tonight and need to win to catch Vegas.

So you blow up the core because they lose a game?

We've laid alot of eggs lately.

Too many for a team that is cup or bust.

It's the dog days of the season and the team has a ridiculous good record over the last 40 games. Sometimes good teams get blasted. I agree not good enough lately

 

[Mav3rick07]

That's it for me. These guys need to look themselves in the mirror because this team is utter trash over the last 10 games or so.

This is the most bizarre season ever.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

you're blaming this on Skinner? You're nuts.

You mean the goalie with a sub .800 save% isnt part of the problem tonight?

 

[gordonhught]

f***ing garbage period. Our D keep allowing their forwards to cut through the crease unimpeded. Stupid penalties costing us as well. Binnington has been outstanding, showing us what a cup winning goalie looks like.

Maybe the players can try harder.

 

[Kirby]

The day an Oilers coach has the balls to hold the stars even slightly accountable, will be the day the Oilers will be ready to win a Stanley Cup.

McDavid has been a floating spinning top in our zone for 2 periods. What happens? Award him with Drai as a linemate, and then puts him out on a PK where he looks lost and confused, almost scores on Skinner, shit clearing attempt, and then an Ill advised challenge to the point that opens a cross ice seem and sees him late getting back to collapse on the rebound.

You don't need to sit him in the press box. But sit him for a f***ing shift. Or demote him to the fourth line with Janmark and Brown. The excuse of "needing him out to get back into the game" that he dug us into is BS. One or two shifts won't make the difference in the second period.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

It's not like we are 10 pts up on a wild card spot, we are very much not guaranteed a spot yet.

They are 100% making the playoffs.

 

[mkatcherin00]

Our top 5 PK looking like Woodys bottom 3 PK too

Ugly all around

 

[Oilhawks]

They even looked pretty bad during the big win streak. Just got some good luck and good goaltending. Now we are regressing to what we really are (a fringe playoff team)

Disagree. Maybe towards the end a bit, but it was usually a bad period at most.

This team is playing lazy, entitled hockey once again.

No coach will fix them unless leadership continues to buy in. (And they get a 1B goalie that they can trust)

 

[brentashton]

They are 100% making the playoffs.

Cup or bust.

Unlucky.

Yup. Without Binnington that's a 4-1 1st period. Skinner and the PK poor in the 2nd.

 

[Ibanez]

It happens so often on this board a third liner paces for like 40 pts playing shotgun with McDavid or Leon but does jack shit in the bottom siz and people are ready to throw away the kanes of this team.

Dear lord!!! We better not do something foolish like that!!!
