GDT: WQSF | II | "Response" | Oilers @ Canucks | 5.10.24 | 8:00PM | SN/CBC

[TheNumber4]

Doesn’t even look like we’re playing close to our top level this series. Oilers are finding it hard to find their game and confidence. McD being a prime example.

This team needs a “moment”. Something to get them pulling in the same direction.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Silovs is trash. This team just isn't testing him.

They are but not enough. he was pretty good in first period. McD botching a lot of plays and not shooting. McD even botching a 2 on 1 with Drai. jebus.

 

[oil Leaks]

Same problems every year
Goaltending worst
No bottom 6 scoring
Nurse Ceci paring

Rinse & Repeat

Same shit, different toilet

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Silovs is trash. This team just isn't testing him.

He may not be amazing now but he's got a really high ceiling. Better than whatever junk we "develop."

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Genuinely fire Schwartz

Every goalie on this team forgets to move across the net on a cross ice pass and every goalie on this team goes low on every f***ing shot with the exception of the insane Smith.

It's been said about 90 000 times.

Give up on Skinner after this change if he does f***ing nothing.

 

[Oilhawks]

Silovs is trash. But Skinner is worse.

Oh I would agree. But I don't agree with Vancouver being a goalie factory for a guy like him. A real team would light him up.

 

[tiger_80]

Should have been retired along with Cherry.

Ron and Don were cool for their time. Cherry was entertaining with good Canadian boys, soft euros, and Levacalier.

 

[McNutty780]

wow this is so maddening to watch

 

[CycloneSweep]

So we lost the only 2 games I watched the third so I’ll just wait it out. Hopefully this works.

 

[CupofOil]

That's after a horrible game 1. If the Oilers lose this series, they would have to break this team up. There is no way, they will improve with no cap space and guys like Kane getting 1 year older.

For sure. This is almost certainly the last run for this group if they flameout of this series in particular. I just don't know how you can keep this group together with far more expensive contracts and an aging core. It would be lunacy.

 

[Satire]

We aren't playing terrible. I think we come out flying in the 3rd and turn this thing around.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Same shit, different toilet

Shitty

 

[Oilhawks]

He may not be amazing now but he's got a really high ceiling. Better than whatever junk we "develop."

How do you figure that? He's let in garbage goals each game

 

[Broberg Speed]

You don't win a cup with a .884 goalie

we all knew this heading into the season, what happened to anyone who made a fuss?

Canucks fixed their team

why couldn't Holland?

his boss Bettman told him not to get contender good

Holland washed his dick but good

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Im rooting for the Oilers in this one. Too many odd-man rushes coming back our way. Very frustrating watching the Nurse-Ceci coverage on that Zadorov goal too. Too many men or not, why the feck are you puck watching and getting caught flat footed while its coming down the ice towards you.

Appreciate it. At least one non Oilers fan won't laugh and sneer till the end of time if we lose this series.

You mean the Zadorov goal from the goal line that shouldn't be a goal against even an ECHL goalie? That one? , thats on Skinner all day.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Besides skinner we are not winning with mcdavid mishandling the puck and making poor decisions so much

 

[McNutty780]

im sorry but Drai is outplaying mcdavid by a country mile so far

 

[McDeepika]

I used to laugh when people called Smith a battler like it was some sort of compliment. After watching Skinner, I would love a goalie who "battles"

 

[North Cole]

Maybe Skinner is so calm because he's hopped up on ativan? Jesus I've never seen a goalie so consistently unprepared for shots throughout at game. It's over for him; you can't be a started with a head like that.

I think Skinner just doesn't have another level mentally. He's like RNH, just a type of person that is happy to be there and enjoy the moment.

I mean, it's no real disrespect, there's a lot of people out there that are grounded and do their jobs and go home. That's a fine mentality if you're working in an office or on a construction site. Doesn't really work as a professional athlete.

Hrudey praises that he always bounces back and never gets down or let's anything bother him. In my opinion, that's also his biggest weakness because he never seems to get mad and recognize that he needs to fix his shit or it's bust time.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

For sure. This is almost certainly the last run for this group if they flameout of this series in particular. I just don't know how you can keep this group together with far more expensive contracts and an aging core. It would be lunacy.

Just blow it up entirely at this point. If you can’t win a cup with McDavid and Draisatl you’re never winning one again.

And Smith had his own goalie coach...

 

[Yablo21]

This team is playing way below their potential

 

[TheNumber4]

Zadorov is pulling off McDavid like shots. Drai and McD both attempted that same shot this game and missed. That says a lot about where our confidence is right now compared to theirs.

 

[iCanada]

Lol on TNT Lundquist is just ripping Skinner's fundamentals, says they're some of the weakest he's seen at the NHL level.

I wonder if any posters here have been saying that for a long time and been flamed for it...
