Post-Game Talk: Gonna Stu on this loss for a while

[TheNumber4]

Watch Sportnet completely ignore that potential neck breaking cross-check to McDavid after spending 2 days replaying the Hughes high stick.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Absolutely cannot start Skinner next game ever again.

FTFY

 

[Sra1974]

WHY THE HELL DIDN'T SOMEONE JUMP ZADORAV AND OR SOUCY AT THE END???

Because they’d get suspended ala nurse last time and you have your entire offense on the ice.

The lack of depth on this team will be the end of them once again. Nobody is doing a thing outside the top 5.

 

[foshizzle]

Stauffer saying there is no way they don’t start Skinner next game.

 

[booyakasha]

skinner sucks
knoablauch f***in sucks. eoklm was right...bouchard plays every game like its game 66 in February.
play mcdrai 60 mins.

 

[Oilhawks]

Too much of a one pony show

Draisaitl? Yeah even injured he's the best player on either team

The rest are hardly NHL calibre this series

 

[Gnome17]

Just a terrible game and series from Skinner.

The difference in this game was three posts, Foegele and Skinner.

Foegele should be scratched. Pickard should start next game.

Three posts, a missed open net by Ryan when the puck was already behind Silovs, one where you couldnt tell if it was in or not..A couple missed chances on the pp in the end. They could have scored 10 this game but it just wouldnt go.

Skinner horrible. And to make matters worse, there is absolutely zero depth support. The rest of the clowns just figure they need to play at evens and let the PP do the work.

This is really starting to look like deja vu from last year.

Aside from the McDrai Hyman line
Every line down has been putrid

But here I’m told “well Nuge is on a 105 pt pace” or “as long as they break even, that’s fine”

No that’s not how it works…

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Played well enough to win besides Skinner so I'm not concerned.

 

[elmeroil]

He will start game 4

Not a f***ing chance

 

[DrDrai]

I don’t understand how they even called a cross check penalty. If they called one there are 100 others that should be called. Makes zero sense.

It’s what is ruining pro sports in general. No consistency.

When a game is tight they think the penalty need to be egregious to call. It’s really sad.

That being said, the team isn’t good enough.

 

[Cloned]

Stauffer saying there is no way they don’t start Skinner next game.

Double negative? Ugh.

 

[dustrock]

Really glad guys like Kane and Perry are here to waste oxygen and not respond to Vancouver hard targeting our superstars.

But this is what the NHL wants apparently.

Garbage in, garbage out.

 

[frag2]

Nurse will get a game

Wish they could just suspend Skinner instead

 

[Not Canada Drai]

We are an overtime loss from being down 3-0 in this series.

Couple goals from being up 3-0 as well so w/e

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Shame on Ken Holland for doing nothing to fix the goaltending that sank the team last playoffs.

Pathetic.

It was so obvious. All I could think of after Vegas eliminated us was at least it’s finally crystal clear, Nurse-Ceci is a liability and goaltending is not good enough.

Depth scoring is another issue. We just need a decent f***ing gm that will make a move when a guy like Lafferty is just sitting there available.

Anyway, everyone, expect the worst in these games and it’ll sting a lot less. You never know what will happen in a series but don’t let this shit get you actually upset

 

[Ibanez]

Next game is winnable if Skinjob doesn't start

Either way, both of these teams will be a nice warmup for the eventual WCF after they get swept or some shit

Yup. Like I said in the game thread. I’m not even mad. First game in awhile I just sat down and went for the ride.

Our bottom six, Stu and Nurse/ceci most games ain’t going anywhere

I think we need to back away from mcdrai again. Need at least two lines.

Also would be nice for Kane to wake up. Like he’s been ok. But I expect some fire.

 

[Senor Catface]

This team doesn't have the balls to start Pickard.

 

[tardigrade81]

We really need a goalie

 

[ZJuice]

I hope Zadarov gets something for being the third man in with a lower back crosscheck on McDavid after the final buzzer. Knowing the DO"PS", McDavid will get one and so will Zadarov

 

[The Moose]

Skinner was outplayed
1st pp couldn't get it done
Soucy needs to be looked at for vicious cross check to McDavid
Oilers needed to respond to that
Big mistake not to add enforcer at trade deadline

They need to win. Not be goaded in doing something stupid that puts them on PK. Just score, simple as that.

 

[bellagiobob]

Stauffer saying there is no way they don’t start Skinner next game.

That would be beyond idiotic. He’s had three f’in chances already.

 

[Cloned]

This team doesn't have the balls to start Pickard.

They better make it so.

 

[Sra1974]

Played well enough to win besides Skinner so I'm not concerned.

Someone other then the top guys need to do something and the pk better right the ship, High shot volume but it’s coming from all he same guys.

 

[McRpro]

Absolutely cannot start Skinner next game

They will.
