GDT: Edmonton Softs vs Calgary Hards

[snipes]

just starting watching. Benson, Jones and Bouchard not in?

Nope, neither is Marody

 

[SourOil]

Is it just me and my hatred....or has Woodcroft coached this team to have the same problems the Oilers did last year?

As much as I dislike Woody, i think this is more about young guys making mistakes in games played at a quicker pace than they're used to

I think its a complete waste of time drawing conclusions from these games.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Skinner has had a terrible 3 periods

 

[Cloned]

Wilson.

Coaching them to take too many penalties?
They're lucky the Flames PP looks like dog crap or the score would be worse.
Discipline goes a long way in hockey.

 

[Cloned]

Skinner has had a terrible 3 periods

He's faced two breakaways and a rebound off a breakaway tonight.

 

[A91]

Skinner reminds me of Dubnyk for some reason

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

I’m gonna go ahead and say

Aaannny chance Bouchard is sitting because they have him in a package deal for Karlsson!?

. I’m gonna say there’s a zero percent chance on that.

 

[Corpus X]

Is this Skinner or just Edmonton break down?

 

[Cloned]

That one wasn't great Skinner.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Skinner....

 

[CycloneSweep]

He's faced two breakaways and a rebound off a breakaway tonight.

And has misplayed all 3

 

[snipes]

Awful from Skinner both games

 

[guymez]

The Oilers are being out shot 14- 2 in the 3rd so far. Its like a reverse of the Nait/MacEwan game from last night...lol

I thought Calgarys prospect pool was shallow...maybe I had too much faith in our prospects

 

[I am the Liquor]

Where is the poo emoji?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Looks like Skinner is fine with being Montoya's back up in the AHL lol

The Flames have some good prospect IMO. So do the Oilers.

In all hoensty though these games register as about a 1 out of 10 on my give a s*** meter.
I am just so starved for hockey and curious to see these players.

I dont know if there is a lot of meaning in the fact that the Oilers have been outscored 13-6 in 2 games against the Flames. I suspect not..

 

[Mez]

Keep in mind Goaltenders take a lot longer to develop...some peak early, some later.

More like the ECHL backup

 

[SourOil]

Don't like losing. But these games mean nothing. Looking forward to main camp and watching McDavid go supernova on the league this year.

Jones - good
Bear - good
Bouchard - excited to see more
Yamo - saving it for the big boy camp
Maksimov - tentative and forcing plays
McLeod - fast. Unwilling to engage physically
Benson - my main man is going to turn some heads.

... the rest

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Oh no our rookies didnt look great in some early september squad games, time to blow the whole thing up again

 

[Digger12]

Yamamoto had better have a couple extra gears than what he's shown in these games vs. the Flames rookies, otherwise he'll be lucky to see even some preseason games, never mind making the Oilers roster for opening night. He's been very underwhelming for someone who's supposed to be some sort of offensive dynamo. Right now all he's showing me is a tiny kid with good anticipation who doesn't seem to know how to stay out of scrums where he gets consistently erased from the play.

Oh 100%. Just when all 3 of our goalies looked incredibly underwhelming to bad... It's hard to watch
