Post-Game Talk: So much bad

[CycloneSweep]

Glad I checked out early but gotta say, Skinner being given the starter position (out of desperation) is ultimately going to be detrimental to his development and obviously to the team's success.

Team has been screwed with subpar goaltending for years and I don't see any real fix coming. Maybe it'll be Rodrigue but I doubt it

That was his 41st game of the season already. He, could be a starter maybe in a 1A/1B situation but he is being forced into a full time heavy use starter role which heavily exposes him to the league, doesn’t give him time off to work on issues and just has him getting exposed by teams super easily. And because we don’t have a backup or a tandem goalie to push him or even threaten to take starts away, like shit.

How many years until we get a good coach

 

[KarmaPolice]

Nurse -5 in his last 3 games
Ceci -4 in his last 3 games
0 goals for McDavid in his last 9 games
26 goals against Skinner in his last 6 starts

Not nearly good enough.

 

[Oilers in NS]

C'mon your tough! Switch over to Scotch like myself for that extra boost, we'll be discussing a lot about Brown and Skinner

I made the mistake of falling asleep for 1st game and I woke up for start of our game . Now it 2 AM, beer r tasting to good .
Guess I’ll have to drink my misery away with this team

When McDavid is going -6 in two games you’re probably not winning those games.

How many years till we get a legit starting goalie?

Both of those will happen when we are both long gone.

When will we get a team that actually gives a shit?

They do the literal opposite of what they should do most nights.

Back to the future.
This is the exact same version of the team we watched in November.
This time with a different coach.

Good luck to Knoblauch. Now he gets to experience what Woody/McLellan et al had to deal with.

Not a chance
And to top it off, a few were directly on him.

Honeymoon is over.

The coach isn’t the problem. What’s becoming clear is that our leadership group are coach killers, and are unwilling to play the way they need to play to win for more than a few games at a time. Being good offensive players doesn’t automatically make you a good leader.

 

[VainGretzky]

The only good sidenote from the game is Hyman is 2nd with the best 0,69 GPG in the league

 

[McDeepika]

Individually, these games don't really matter. A lot of the top teams have been struggling.

I just don't think we can win with Skinner. Other teams are going to have good players too. Unfortunately guys like MacKinnon, Eichel, Miller etc are going to be on the ice against the Ceci's and Kulaks of the world at times. We need saves.

I agree with this.

The players are the biggest issues

Do you really think that the coach is the problem?

 

[Oilers in NS]

I’m a good 3 mins behind feed on Firestick
See what Coffey is saying

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Remember that 16 game winning streak? I don't

Had they won 12 straight and not 16, they’d be on the outside looking in still. They’re no means a lock for the playoffs in my opinion.

 

[Da McBomb]

Nurse -5 in his last 3 games
Ceci -4 in his last 3 games
0 goals for McDavid in his last 9 games
26 goals against Skinner in his last 6 starts

Nurse and Ceci have been dreadful. Haven't even seen Nurse being physical or standing up for his teammates much either... 9.25 million lol

 

[MoontoScott]

No. I didn't think Woody was a problem either.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Poor goaltending drastically changes the way this team plays. When you're always coming from behind, the structure collapses.

LA about to tie us again, will pass us on Monday.

 

[Cloned]

10 straight games of .800 or worse Goaltending does that to you.

No team has good structure when they don't trust their Goaltender to make saves.

Which btw, one more bad have from Skinner and his sv% on the year will be below .900 again.

It’s a vicious circle. The entire team is playing like ass.

Yup.
Nurse just makes so many stupid decisions with and without the puck.
Plenty to choose from in this game as well.
When your highest paid dman rarely plays up to the level of his contract thats a problem.

 

[CycloneSweep]

It’s leadership issues. Our top 6 is getting shit on by other teams top 6. We play good for a hit and they get cocky and complacent.
McDavid and Drai are great players but they are shit leaders.
