GDT: XXXVII | "Ringing In" | Oilers vs. Hockey Club | 12.31.24 | 7:00PM | SN

[Cloned]

Also Brown has been better on Line 1 than RNH. Very low bar I know.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Lol

I'd honestly rather read Skinner slander for the millionth time instead.. my god this place and the team is winning

 

[Dan Kelly]

I am happy to never have to watch McLeod attempt to play an NHL playoff game in Oilers colours ever again.

To be fair we were never gonna sign Foegele at his price point but maybe we should have? And I figured like a lot of us that Holloway would just take the place of McLeod so he was no big loss, but then he wasn't kept so....

 

[Tarus]

People are mad at Skinner for that goal against? Mcbain was in alone with Kapanen putting in a far too late defensive effort while Nuge cruised along like he's out for a leisure skate in the background.

Terrible defensive effort by that line, and any team in the league has a reasonable expectation of scoring when given that kind of opportunity.

It was the right decision to have a gripe thread lol.

Mcleod being bad in the playoffs is something we can agree on. We also downgraded at 3C in any way you'd like to measure it- goals, points, chances, expected goals, etc. Two things can be true at once.

Literally every goal against is his fault and his alone in the eyes of some.

Yup. Every high danger chance goes in on every goalie

Lol. You think things like defensive breakdowns matter? The puck could be deflected 7 times on way to the top corner, on an 3 on 0 rush, and somehow that would still be Skinners fault.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Yup. I said it this summer that I was looking forward to constant updates on BroHoll's bowel movements, shape, consistency, colour, etc.

when you let 2 prospects go for pennies and they perform well (in Holloways case) of course people are going to bring it up a ton. Especially when he is out scoring all the guys you brought in and used your cap on.

 

[Ibanez]

Holy shit Stu controlled a rebound!!!

Moustache man bad

It’s be nice to have some semblance of objectivity. But people wanna prove that Skinner is the worst goalie in the league and the only way to prove that is to throw all objectivity out the window.

 

[CycloneSweep]

People would probably like Skinner more if he didn’t come across as infallible and talks like he has never played a bad game in his life in interviews.

 

[Sanchez]

Hahaha wow

 

[RattsSSV]

Great shift

 

[Sethual]

Whew what a chance but damm

 

[walktheboulavard]

Team really trying to walk in past the goal line.

 

[Sanchez]

No call

 

[TB12]

What a shift. Build on that.

 

[TheNumber4]

Got damn I love Arviddson. Think I’ll have to make room on my Skinner poster wall.

I heard he hates kittens too.

 

[Sanchez]

He dropped his gloves and should be a penalty

 

[RattsSSV]

He dropped his gloves and should be a penalty

And hes back on the bench, imagine.
Great pass, attaboy Nuge.

 

[Sanchez]

Beautiful
