GDT: Deliverance From Evil - Oilers v Flames Feb 6, 8 PM on HNIC & SN

[TB12]

Everyone STILL bitching about Smith starting over Koski in the play-ins needs to stop. Smith at least had a track record of performing in the playoffs. Koskinen has an NHL track record of mediocrity and letting in back breaking goals.

Do people really think Koskinen should save every high danger scoring chance against lol?

Bennett's literally 2 feet from the net wide open

 

[russ99]

It's Russell's mistake but Koskinen has to make that save.

He hasn't bailed us out all night.

Russell is supposed to have eyes in the back of his head to know that Bouchard flew the crease and no forward rotated to pick him up?

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Thanks, Holland.

 

[Snipes45]

I legit did not even notice gaudreau until his stay pad points

"mcDavid is better than Matthews"

No cap

 

[Patch101]

Can't believe we signed Kyle shiturris for two years

Our new Eric Belanger good sir. We need a new one every once in a while.
Big upgrade over Sheahan though ... right? ... wait ... right?

"mcDavid is better than Matthews"

Yeah because McDavid should be stopping pucks now. Stfu you dense f***

 

[Vagabond]

Tipps is a poor coach for riding Koski after the 3rd goal. You just knew he was going to have a pathetic outing after 3 on 7 shots.

 

[KCC]

Rough game all around for Kosky and of course our defense has had bad lapses. Not surprising. Just have to put it behind you.

 

[Snipes45]

Nice clear Larsson

 

[Del Preston]

"mcDavid is better than Matthews"

Are you lost?

 

[BlackDogg]

If we're relying on Smith to save the day....then Bob is not your uncle

 

[Proko88]

That 25 mil cap space can’t come quick enough...

 

[North]

I wonder if Holland is happy he kept this goaltending tandem...

Pretty clearly wasn’t which was why he went after Markstrom, Greiss, and Holtby (thank goodness we missed on him).

 

[The Panther]

The CBC broadcasters seem to have some sort of irrational worship of Gaudreau. They cannot stop talking about him.

 

[stratedge]

Koskinen should have been pulled after 3 goals on his first 8 shots.

Completely trash performance by him, literally didn’t make a single above average difficulty type save.

Markstrom made several, that’s the difference in the game.

The problem is that when you pull Koski, who do you put in? Even if Smith was back, he isn't going to perform any better. This Oilers organization doesn't have a single mediocre or better goalie in the entire organization.

 

[foshizzle]

And Russel didn’t take anyone while standing at the side of the net all by himself. Did the same on the Lucic goal.

Thats what he does every single game. He then snow angels. I want to hear Tippett’s logic on how he is one of the top 6 best defensemen available to this team

Do people really think Koskinen should save every high danger scoring chance against lol?

I’m usually a koskinen defender, but that first goal set the tone, and 6 gold on 27 shots tells the story.

this loss is on koskinen

The problem is every high danger scoring chance goes in. Every single one. Except the marner shot, which was a rarity. Every time we get momentum in any game we play the next shot goes in.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

This is still a winnable game against a very average team. EVEN with the train wreck

 

[Snipes45]

Why did we get rid of Sheahan?

 

[BudBundy]

"mcDavid is better than Matthews"

Glad you agree.

 

[foshizzle]

Why did we get rid of Sheahan?

Because he sucked

Gaudreauuuuuu. geez. I can't get that out of my head. Seriously. Why was he singing his name? So cringe, man. lol
