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

[dss97]

Pickard is the starter going forward. This organization needs to realize sooner rather than later that they aren’t ever going to win anything with Skinner in the net.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Are you really going to ignore Skinner's play? Wait...yes, you've been his biggest apologist since I came back to this board months ago.

So nobody else had a bad game? The Oilers played a perfect game. Good to know. Foegele is a gem. Zero goals with a goalie in net. And he’s far from the only useless player.

 

[foshizzle]

this is wild....Canucks didn't even bother to play for 40 minutes yet won
I've never seen anything like it

Why does the media keep saying Skinner has to be better. This is who he is. 2 playoffs in a row now, almost identical save %. Maybe he can’t be better?

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

They have to start Pickard. Everyone’s talking up Vancouver’s defense but they got shot on twice as much.. skinner blew this one bad.

 

[oobga]

Skinner will cost McDrai Cups in back-to-back seasons

Ken Holland you mean.

He seems to be the only guy that hasn't seen what's wrong with this team for years. Somehow we are always down to our last penny of the cap with massive holes on D and in net every year.

Even if he does know, he was never savvy enough to fix issues in a cap world without a team loaded with HHoF players. Just money tossing July 1 at the biggest names.

 

[dustrock]

You put Perry and Kane to start next game and some dipshit on the Nucks is getting bodied off the opening faceoff.

 

[Stoneman89]

Cuthbert and Simpson could hardly contain their glee over all things Vancouver. f*** both of them.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Cucks didn't even play well for 40 minutes... this was a highly winnable game that will haunt this team.

Nucks just had to dump it out of zone and collapse when the Oilers got the puck again.

They got their lead.

 

[TheNumber4]

jfc. we gave up 6 HDSC the whole game, your'e still on this kick. give it up man, Skinner f***ing stinks.

I said he needed to make a save. Same with the last 2 games. But that doesn’t mean the defence didn’t shit the bed too.

 

[Zguy370]

Skinner is NOT an NHL goalie folks. This org is Blind!

 

[DrDrai]

got goalied

Rough first period then totally carried the play in the last 40. Vancouver reminded me of us tonight, get a few goals ahead then stop trying to make plays and constantly ice the puck and chip it out, playing with fire

Props to Silovs though

Kinda wanted Pickard to get tested more, he only faced two shots I think, but I felt better with him in net. It’s a tough call for next game because they’re pretty much done if they lose, but Skinner has been bad 3 games in a row outside of a couple saves so I’d go Pickard.

Nah, we don’t get to use that excuse, the oilers make goalies look good, we have for years.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Someone needs to take him out. Maybe Carrick. Whomever.

We have a bunch of 6’2+ players that are too chicken shit to hit him

Kane is hurt, Nurse thinks that he's Cale Makar, Desharnais hasn't fought since he hurt his hand in his last fight, etc. I wanted more toughness, we sure could've used it in this series. We were bitch slapped the last time that we played them in the regular season and we've mostly been getting bitch slapped in this series. If Connor and Leon were healthy they'd be hitting. As it stands we are a big but chickenshit team.

Keep deflecting.

 

[aspin3]

Who was saying we need to go aftwr Ullmark next year? Smh

 

[Oilers in NS]

Im gonna stay optimistic but need a few changes. Hopefully Henrique is good to go Tuesday.
Gazdic is saying to start Skinner Tuesday. I want no part of him
Foegele should come out
Nuge has performed another disappearing act.
Its the same BS every year in playoffs and same culprits

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Start Pickard next game and put Broberg in for Ceci.

They need to be better.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Pickard is the starter going forward. This organization needs to realize sooner rather than later that they aren’t ever going to win anything with Skinner in the net.

He won’t be and they won’t.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Foegele is the opposite of Zadarov.

Zadarov looks wasted and worsening all regular season, then has a sparkling playoffs and likely gets a fat contract

Foegele looks like a near break-out star, then has this ass of a playoffs. Probably still gets paid. Probably too much. Probably by us.

 

[McDeepika]

Maybe the Skinner apologists who refused to blame him at all in game 1 because the Oilers sat back with the lead and didn't do anything can tell us how the Canucks won today employing the exact same strategy?

 

[CupofOil]

Watch Zadorov not get suspended for the vicious two hand in the back of McDavid at end of game. McDavid needs to take a page out of the Nucks playbood there. Go down there and stay down until the stretcher and ambulance arrives and with the Oilers saying its a grave spinal injury. Then Having McD be fine for game 4 and Zad suspended. Nah that wouldn't even do it.

This is the NHL though. A league that will allow the Michael Jordan of hockey be paralyzed by goons like this.

Forget the NHL, they're not doing shit. The Oilers need to police this, that could have been a season ending injury very easily. Imagine the 80s Oilers or the late 90s, early 00s Oilers, '06 Oilers, '17 Oilers allowing this to happen without answers. Team has no pulse, it's sad to watch. Hard team to root for tbh.

 

[Dieseloil]

I asked my buddy before the game, how bad is Skinner gonna shit the bed this time? He outdoes himself.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Warren Foegele sucks.

But unfortunately for Skinner, your supposed #1 goalie is more important than your 3/4th line winger.

When 3/4 of the roster can’t piss a drop you’re going to have problems. You’ve seen this exact scenario play out year after year.

 

[Yablo21]

knob has to split up mcDrai, we have seen this show before it doesnt work, both players get to tired, the look effective but lack the finish when this happens.

 

[ArthurAnyMoreDonuts]

Well I'm not watching game 4.
