GDT: Bubble Wrap Overkill. Oilers v Canucks, Saturday May 15, 1:30 PM. SN, NHLNW.

Maybe Koskinen's playing 4d chess here.

- This game doesn't matter at all for the Oilers
- Giving up more goals means players on division rivals get more points
- Those players in turn get paid more.

Eh...a lot of people blame him for goals that aren't his fault and a lot of people blame the rest of the team for shirts goals he lets in. The 2nd and 3rd goals are great shots and hard stops to make. The 2nd one should of been a save but I'm not gonna get on his case for that one as like I said it was a great shot. The 4th goal how ever was atrocious and should never go in. I've defended Koski when people were blaming him for no reason but even I can't sit here and say he should be our backup going forward. He's done and I think he's starting to realize it.

Oh Bs all his saves look like slow motion in real-time , garbage goalie

 

[gordonhught]

Appears Kostko will finish with .899. That's a bummer man.

koskinen sucks.

Now where are the posters who gave me a hard time when koskinen let in 4 on 4 shots and said I was too hard on poor koskinen?

 

[Paralyzer]

He’s gonna get buried. I can’t see Holland being satisfied with a Smith/Stalock tandem

True, but he's still on the Oilers. So he could still be played.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Ko4kinen still sucks @Tobias Kahun

Holland HAS to find another goalie for next year. He has to.

Stalock is already here

 

[Garbo Man]

That was his plan along I suspect. When he tried and failed to get a goalie last off season, he signed Smith and put it off to this offseason. There will be goalies available.

Except now the plan might be to re-sign Smith to be back up/ alternate starter

The FIRST thing thr Oilers should do when Smith retires is fire our shitty goalie coach and hire Smith in his place. Every time the Oilers pick up a goalie Schwartz ruins them. The only reason he hasn't ruined Smith is because Smith does give a f*** and probably tells Schwartz how it is.

“It was a committee decision”

Better to sign a guy with 1 good month and 3 bad weeks to 4.5Mx3 than take the massive risk of having to sign a free agent (which we did and ended up with our starter this year) or trade for a goalie.

"koskinen is worth 4.5 million a year"View attachment 434335

The most rage inducing photo on the entire internet. f*** you Peter. Hope your cat pisses on your pillow in the night.

 

[gordonhught]

He won’t even be nominated.

koskinen is terrribel

 

[Oilhawks]

Ko4kinen still sucks @Tobias Kahun

But Smith might have let in one of those!

 

[Oilslick941611]

Koskos bad goaltending really made me care about this meaningless game. SO good for him I guess. I hope we buy him out in the offseason, and if not, I hope he's buried in the minors. He should be nowhere near the team and no where near an NHL net.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Thanks for f***ing up my GDT streak Koskinen.

 

[FlameChampion]

“It was a committee decision”

I'm glad we dont see much of him anymore. What a putz.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Stalock is already here

Stalock is not the answer.

You need someone that’s a 1B in case Smith regresses.

 

[McTonyBrar]

What a wonderful goalie. It took him 5 minutes to bring his team down. Pathetic goalie. HORRENOUS! If I saw him in person I’d slap him in the face instead of getting his autograph

 

[McFlash97]

Was that 4 in 4 again ? Or was it 3 on 3 ? So he is 1 away

This is the Koskinen special indeed.

To be fair Bobby never had to GM past easy mode (Team Canada roster)

 

[gordonhught]

Thanks for f***ing up my GDT streak Koskinen.

yes, I guess he did mess it up

koskinen is terribad

 

[Del Preston]

PGT is up so we can trash him in there.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

We are 1 groin pull from total disaster on Wednesday

 

[Sanchez]

Hey Nucks, enjoy your playoff series with Flames!

 

[Oilhawks]

The best part of this is the fair weather contingent will feel like Highmore is not just an AHL plug
