Post-Game Talk: “The Oilers are winning this now” - @gordonhught - @Cloned

I knew the oilers would win and score a lot.

I have shesty in fantasy, and all my goalies are sucking lately


What kind? Love me some IPA’s

Loki Paddock Wood. They’re delicious!!

 

[YakDavid]

I’m happy we only dressed 6 defensemen today. I don’t think broberg would have seen a lot of ice if we did. He didn’t play the first goal well but needs to play.

 

[brentashton]

Campbell has been so bad this year that his career sv% has already dropped from a .916 to a 913. 12 games lol

Not bad behind that defence.

 

[Spawn]

Not bad behind that defence.

The dudes career numbers are plummeting lol.

This season his stats are like .875. He’s the worst goalie in the NHL. There are no excuses. Even in a win today he was terrible.

 

[Faelko]

Through 40 minutes the Oilers couldn't buy a goal and every chance the Rangers had ended up in the back of the net because Campbell is a dog shit goalie. Oilers controlled the play the whole game.

I agree Campbell has been awful but I’m not sure any of the 3 goals were bad goals per se.

1st goal the D left the back door wide open
2nd goal was pure luck and a terrible giveaway by Ceci
3rd goal was a cluster f*** with 4 players standing around doing nothing, maybe he could’ve swallowed up a rebound but it wasnt a bad goal.

2nd GA was garbage. He also got beat twice clean on goals that were thankfully disallowed. And the big issue with Campbell isn’t bad goals against. It’s that he’s allergic to making difficult saves.

The man does not make the big save when there is a breakdown. If there is a grade A chance against he is letting it in. Worst goalie in the league at making high danger saves.

I knew it was career numbers. Like I said, behind that team defence, not bad.

 

[RegDunlop]

He has. Stan Fischer is also Jim Matheson with many added years. I think he even saw the pyramids finish being built.

And criticized them

 

[Spawn]

Ahh gotcha. You’re wrong. But gotcha.

 

[brentashton]

And criticized them

Ya something about some mythical animal having his nose cut off, he said was bad. Idiot.

Ahh gotcha. You’re wrong. But gotcha.

Why,you think his numbers should be holding behind that junk?

Skinners numbers are holding just fine.

You’re severely underplaying how atrocious Jack Campbells numbers are. He is far, far worse than Koskinen ever was and it’s not even close.

 

[McOilers97]

I love this team and I’ll never doubt them again.

Until next week when some non-playoff team hoses them 4-1.
In all seriousness though, hopefully this gets some people going. I don’t think anyone on the team more badly needed a goal than Bouchard and Holloway.

 

[RegDunlop]

Hall mentors Leo. Leo mentors Hall Jr. it’s the circle of life.

Andre has a red flag...

I didn’t comment on skinner. I commented on Your statement about Campbells average downplay in season behind a shitty defence that has played in front of him. He’s not perfect, but he’s not awful. You have decided to make it something about Koskinen. Enjoy your weird analysis.

His numbers are awful. Far worse than they should be behind any defense. It’s not weird analysis. It’s basic fact. The only starting goalie who has been worse than him ths season is the Blue Jackets starter. His high danger save percentage is mind numbing my bad.

Blame the defense all you want, an NHL quality goalie is expected to make difficult saves that Campbell has been incapable of this season.

We were screaming bloody murder if either Smith or Koskinen came close to .890. Campbell can't touch those guys from last year. They were both better than him. .875. Absolute joke.

 

[oobga]

The win was never in doubt (just learned they won 10 mins ago)

Campbell let in a bad goal today?

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

4 of the 5 Skinner would have stopped

Forgot to ask...how was The Offspring show?

Oh, dude. It was rad!!! They sound excellent live. I called in hungover the next day. Good times, bro.

Lol, that's awesome!!! Glad those guys can still put on a show.

 

[McBooya42]

Wicked shot from Holloway. Guy needs to be playing with good players it feels like.

Campbell .870 with a millimetre offside from being .850 and probably even lower if it's a tie game going into OT.

Guy is a sieve. Worse contract than Koskinen, worse player than Koskinen. How did we not learn our lesson?

As almost always with these young guys, confidence is everything. I sincerely hope this gets him going - he's got the skills, smarts and size to make a good career in the NHL. Same issues with Jesse and Yams. It was nice to see McLeod and Bouch have a bit of success too. They needed a game like that.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Lol, that's awesome!!! Glad those guys can still put on a show.

Hell yeah!

 

[Jumptheshark]

Fischler has always hated the Oilers, even before the Oilers were close to a dynasty, and I'm not even sure why anymore. Force of habit?

If memory serves me right--it started when he came out to interview Gretz and other in about 79 or 80 to do an in-depth Sports Illustrated article(I think it was SI) and when he got to Edmonton they did not give him a parade or bend the knee and kiss his ring.
