GDT: Yuge game. Yuge. Edm v LA - 8 pm

Skinner is losing the game for the Oilers.


I don't understand how they are 5-4-1 in their last 10 if the Kings are so insanely perfect?

Are you serious when you post this crap? The team was awful, seriously awful and he’s part of it but he’s not losing the game for them.

 

[gordonhught]

These guys look they couldn't care much less about the game tonight, so I'm deciding that neither do I.

Yep. Losing interest fast.

Not perfect.. no team is.. just the best team in the NHL this year when you look at the whole season. Even the best teams go through short slumps.

Oilers have to put up their A+ game to come into LA and beat them.

 

[5 14 6 1]

So general consensus that Skinner is the reason it isn't 0-0 still.

Lol no.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Skinner was good but he can't give up that second goal.

A lot of comments suggesting Skinner was the worst player on the ice so far.

Brutal non call on McDavid being hooked when he did a give and go on the side of the net. The Kings announcers showed it and said that it was good D by Doughty while the stick from the forward was all up in McDavid's business.

I hate to say it, but IMO McDavid has been looking injured since he got dumped by Mike McLeod in our 1st game against NJ. Also I think he still has an issue with his hand(s) because he really looks off far too many shots after developing a much better shooting mentality last season. Bottom line is if he's not going to be 100% this season then this season is a write off.

Lots of time left for the Oilers. Not worried. Yet.

We'd be up 2-0 with a different goalie we pay four 1st rounders for.

 

[rboomercat90]

Pretty lifeless bunch tonight. They barely have enough energy to cross the kings blue line.

 

[Duke74]

Draisaitl is a disaster 5v5

He’s been complete shit all year

 

[Ritchie Valens]

How the f*** was that not a tripping or interference call on Kempe? I was wondering how he got so wide open behind Nurse.

The Oilers aren't giving themselves any favors either but holy f***, at least try to hide your corruption, Gary.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Gotta get a 3c, Ceci and Desharnais replacement, a top 6 winger and a goalie. Very small shopping list…

 

[CupofOil]

Seems like the Oilers are getting run out of the building, just looking at the shot stats. This building is always a house of horrors for them, even the few times they win they get outplayed.

 

[snag]

God I hate companies that make sanctimonious ads....

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Was he? Average at best IMO. That said his team wasn't any better.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Bad period, forgot it and push back.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

God I hate companies that make sanctimonious ads....

That’s pretty much all of them now. Welcome to the Panderverse.

They ran our show most of that period and then we don't get an obvious call on one of our rare scoring chances in the period.

Maybe the oilers just arent so good anymore. Bad roster construction.

Hockey night in Canada beat down...
Now I get to hear Ron blab about the kings

 

[Dynamic]

I swear this team must of been slamming some pink whit golfing this afternoon because they looked like total ass. Wow.

 

[Shizuka]

I've seen more intensity in weekday shinny. Are you f***ing kidding me right now, these clowns.. Skinner was fine for the first 10 and while the 1st is again on the non coverage, there is no way you can let that second one in FFS. They're frankly fortunate they didn't get torched for another 2.

These players reverting to old habits, not prepped and not readying themselves to come out and play. But not much to expect when they're still icing that garbage in 28.

His teammates clearly didn't have their legs in the first. Bail your team out until they do. That's what he's paid to do. Now we have to hope Skinner keeps it at 2. That's not happening. He'll give up 5 or 6 by the end of this. Guaranteed. That's why I don't want him anywhere near as a starter if EDM makes the playoffs.

The game could’ve been 2-0 Kings in the first five minutes If not for him. People are just micro foscused on a single hatred because it distracts them from the fact that the entire team has flaws. Its easy and lazy.
