GDT: Game 82: Oilers @ Avs - 7:30 PM - SN1

[Gnome17]

I could care less about the score of this game tbh. I'm actually thrilled that they're resting most of our top players.

What I am pissed about is.. wtf would they not rest Skinner. They're paying him behind a depleted roster. Hopefully this doesn't crush his confidence prior to the playoffs. I feel that this was a really stupid idea.

Yeah I dont get why Skinner is playing. Hes close to the top in the league in games played if im not mistaken, could definietly need the rest..But it could always be something internal, maybe they had a discussion and he really wanted to go and felt fresh and let him, who knows.

I wonder if this is a game where they could have even tried Campbell, or maybe that would be too disruptive for the group..

4-0. I guess Skinner might get to rest soon anyways.

Yank him, right now. And then punch yourself in the nuts for making this decision.

High time for a nap. Watching this is going to stress me out before playoffs.

The team hasn’t taken a shot on goal yet. Your boy failed to cover two goal scorers.

We were likely going to lose anyway. That's what happens when you sit half your top 4 and your entire top 6.

But Skinner is on pace to let in 24. Worse than the worst ever in the World Juniors.

Likely none of its his fault though I'm sure.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Nurse is getting worse all the time. He'll be in the AHL by next season at this rate of regression.

On for three GA already.

Knoblauch is an idiot jfc

[RandomGuy79]

Dont know if it’s good to go into the playoffs getting blown out in the last game. Even if it means nothing.

 

[Porkleaker]

Knob you f***ing twit.

 

[rickysusedsht]

The Avs are desperately trying to get MacKinnon awards this season. They aren't stepping off the gas.

Yup your right just got another...punishment time

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Wow the Skinner start is the worst decision I've seen Knob make. Nothing like throwing him to the dogs and destroying his confidence the game before the playoffs start. An absolutely brain dead decision, how he didn't flip the starts is a big head scratcher for me

Skinner probably wanted to play. Obviously they asked him

But yes this is stupid

 

[Sanchez]

This is stupid f***ing hell show an effort a pulse anything!

 

[Oilslick941611]

Skinner is being embarrassed here.

Not matter the fault of the goals, the puck went behind him. Get him out of there, although it's too late now, damage done. No fight

 

[CupofOil]

Nurse will never be held accountable

On for 3 goals against already. I'm beyond sick of him at this point.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Go spear someone what are we even doing.

 

[BlackDogg]

This is the stupidest thing Knob could have done

 

[McDreamy]

Questionable coaching decision putting in Skinner. Don't need hindsight to say that

 

[rboomercat90]

We need Cloned to get a “fire Knoblach” thread up immediately.

 

[OddManRush]

Don’t know what to make of Knob’s decision to sit so many players. Skinner’s confidence might be wrecked going into the playoffs lol

 

[DrDrai]

We want 10! Shots…..

 

[McShogun99]

Did that go off Nurse then Ceci?

 

[soothsayer]

What the f*** did the big brains think was going to happen. Smartest guys in the room strike again.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

On for three GA already.

Skinner has let in 4 on 6 shots
Playoff form already

 

[lopper]

Too bad they couldn’t have just forfeited the game and flew home to rest

 

[Broberg Speed]

Nurse is getting worse all the time. He'll be in the AHL by next season at this rate of regression.

no, he's the same, the fanboy goggles fell off

should have listened to raab
