Pre-Game Talk: Desert Doggie Doo

Arent Vegas missing Patches and Stone?

If their Stones are Patchy, we should have no trouble scoring in that game either

What are the chances koskinen starts both games?

I’m about to pick him up in fantasy and it will be my last add for the week

Ok guys I’m doing it. I really hope he starts both games

Too damn high

 

[McShogun99]

They should give Skinner the Vegas game. He’s more then likely going to be the backup next season so give him a tough game and see how he does.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

How long we looking at for Archibald? He could be a big help on 4th

I’m gonna guess Bobby Lohnes is more likely to wear an Oilers jersey than Archi ever putting one on again.

 

[Cloned]

Been watching Gretz on TNT and he’s actually pretty funny. Definitely got the right feel for a TNT panel.

 

[Nico Hischier]

?

Too damn high

So it’s a good chance he starts both games if he does well against Arizona?

 

[tardigrade81]

I want to see more Skinner.

 

[Gregsky99]

I want to see more Skinner.

 

[NedPlimpton]

Yeah, I'm okay with Skinner getting one of the next two games for sure.

I think it's more likely Kosk plays both, though.

 

[The Panther]

Brian Lawton is saying he wants to see more from Ceci and Keith. Does he watch the games?

When the biggest draft bust of all time speaks, we listen.

 

[WaitingForUser]

As @Oilhawks pointed out, Stalock was a waiver claim. So you don’t have to be pissed about wasted assets.

Just to add to this if you want to blame anyone for Forsberg it would be Waddell he only claimed him so he could attempt to trade him right back and KH told him to pound sand. Going further with the NHL knowing teams would need at minimum 3 goalies last year and the expanded Taxi Squad roster, they could have easily written exemption rules for 3rd string goalies and waivers to the taxi squad. The oil are not the only team to lose a goalie last year from the leagues short sightedness

 

[nexttothemoon]

Koskinen was pretty close to perfect last night (was a big part of salvaging 2 pts) so I don't see why they won't roll with him in these next two games.

Until he proves he's still the Koskinen from last season... I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he's going to have a big bounce back season (and my guess is that the coaches are giving him that same chance as well).

What did Yakupov say?

 

[FlameChampion]

2nd career start

Oh God it's gonna be like 2-1 isn't it? Lol

Looks like we're getting shutout.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Did you want to give up our first and Kosk and Samorukov for Kuemper? Once the Avs lost Grubauer they paid a premium for him and I am glad we bowed out of that one.

Well you better hope Skinner shows us something. The price for a 1A isn’t going to go down much either at the TDL or next offseason.

Way better than the mess of a panel Sportsnet has.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Not defending the GM but the options available this summer like Grubauer (.867) don't seem to play well so far. The sample size is small though. The stats will likely be better by the end of the season.

Yeah it’s far too early to make a judgment on a goalie move yet. Kuemper, Ullmark, Nedeljovic, Grubauer and MAF all have had rough starts to the year.

Heck even Vasilvesky is struggling.

We’ll have a more accurate picture of what we missed out on by December.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Please...what the hell would you call this past off season, not getting the job done? GTFOuta here with that tired trope.

If you call not making a move for a better goalie and improving the offence at the cost of the defence “getting the job done”. Then sure, yeah Holland got the job done.

I would say the odds of Koskinen appearing in both games isn’t low. That’s irrespective of starts.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I would say the odds of Koskinen appearing in both games isn’t low. That’s irrespective of starts.

Especially after Smith got 3 in a row. Unless Smith is out longer than a week or Koskinen gets hurt or stinks it up, this is likely just a recall for Skinner to sit on the bench for a few games.
