GDT: Lightning in a bottle - Edm v TBL - 7 PM

[Behind Enemy Lines]

The gap was fine. Skinner was not.

Mind the Gap. Wasn't. But point remains Skinner got beat from distance.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I hope Skinners NHL career fails.

 

[TheNumber4]

Shitty loss. Outplayed them easy. 8.5M goalie better than 2.6M goalie. Go figure.

 

[larek]

The way Louie and dorkie were going on about TB you would think they had 50 shots
Skinner main reason for the loss
No other reason

 

[5 14 6 1]

Meanwhile Vancouver getting dominated on the shot clock as usual, yet PDOing there asses off up 3-0. Must be nice to have a goalie

 

[Cloned]

Mind the Gap. Wasn't. But point remains Skinner got beat from distance.

It’s very difficult to gap up any tighter on a player cutting across the middle of the ice in a 2 on 2.

 

[TheNumber4]

I hope Skinners NHL career fails.

Bro you shit on sooo much negativity around here and then say that. You know we’d have a 5M dollar get goalie in net if Holland didn’t f*** up royally right? Yet no one allowed to shit on Holland. Doesn’t make sense.

 

[larek]

Bro I’m just as mad at him for his performance tonight as anyone but we want every Oiler to succeed here.

But if they don't you replace them

Easy Bro Easy!! LoL Bro!

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

Usually I am not the one to blame one guy, but this one is 1000% on #74. Just a pathetic effort from him

Unacceptable garbage. Skinner is human trash.

 

[TheNumber4]

Easy Bro Easy!! LoL Bro!

I’m easy. I don’t expect skinner to win us all games. He is what he is. Rough loss.

Oilers offense has won them the games on this streak but netminding was just too bad and TB goalie was pretty great - that's why oil lost

 

[TheNumber4]

Skinner needs to stay off social media. He doesn’t, but he needs to if he ever wants to be a Starter in this Town.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Again with this dumb shit lol

Whats dumb about it? He is improving defense but he has a long way before he'd be considered elite defensively. Or am I missing context in your response?

 

[TheNumber4]

Oilers goaltendign also didn’t cost them a loss. Look around the league and see the .900 AVERAGe save percentage and there’s many goalies out there could have.

 

[elmeroil]

Talking shit isn't passion. I'm not saying you specifically, but people act like they've been personally wronged and it's pretty sad.

I get that, I'm not calling him names I just want a better goalie because he's not it. I realize he's trying his best but it's not good enough and yes it's on Holland for sure

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

It’s very difficult to gap up any tighter on a player cutting across the middle of the ice in a 2 on 2.

Check out the replay. Ekholm is cross checking his guy - aka perfect gap. Bouch just gave Stamkos a hair of space caught backing up and Stamkos beats a bad goaltender deep.

I'm not blaming Bouchard. It's a elite goalscorer getting enough space to get a good, not great shot on net that needs to be stopped.

 

[soothsayer]

Skinner needs to stay off social media. He doesn’t, but he needs to if he ever wants to be a Starter in this Town.

Step 1 is to first save wrist shots from the blue line though.

Ekholm is playing a tighter gap because his guy isn’t the puck carrier.

Bouchard did the right thing, which was angle Stamkos into a low percentage shot.

You mean 100% of all of them all the time.

He saved plenty of those in his .930 8-game run.

Offense has actually scores and that's why the wins
That's it

Nope. Cause Offence scored plenty during losing streaks too. D and goaltendign combined with offence made us dominant. Not one or the other.

If you want one or the other we’re back to Woody hockey.

He was garbage tonite
Oilers can't afford that s hit again
Out playing and losing and they did have goals tonite
Every game is so important becuz of the bad start can't afford crap form the goalie

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Bouchard was caught back pedalling. He put on the breaks to reduce the gap. Unfortunately Stamkos, a perennial 50 goal scorer had enough space to get a quality shot on net but one that needs to be stopped.

Don't talk to me about an 8-game stretch when his save % for the season is still under 900 lol

They scored fk all hardly when they were stinking
