They let Skinner off the hook. Shaky goalie and the Canucks let him get too comfortable.ugly one for Van
He'll fail. This is just lipstick on a pig.My problem with this is that I generally want Berube to succeed. But I generally want the Leafs to fail. 'Tis a quandry. Meh
He won't fail. Their roster will not be the same next season. Caps moved on from McPhee/Oates. Leafs moved on from Dubas/Keefe. BMac/Trotz changed the culture of the Caps and I think Treliving/Berube will change the culture of the Leafs.He'll fail. This is just lipstick on a pig.
I'm gonna reserve judgement. Life always presents situations for a person to redeem themselves. Treliving has an opportunity as the Leafs GM to redeem himself.You had me until “and I think Treliving….”.
I wouldn’t wager on that one.I'm gonna reserve judgement. Life always presents situations for a person to redeem themselves. Treliving has an opportunity as the Leafs GM to redeem himself.
It's the Leafs, so you would look foolish if you did bet on them to turn it around.I wouldn’t wager on that one.
Love me some Kono! We got chief in Toronto, Kono in AHL (blues). Keith Jones with the Flyers. Dale Hunter with London. Lots of 3rd/4th line guys in elevated hockey roles. I dig it.Prediction: They're gonna play hard in the corners.
Am I the only person who has no idea what you are talking about??It appears that the Vancouver Canucks are already mentally in the slammer after running over a cop while trying to get to the golf course.
I assume a reference of golfer Scottie Scheffler who got arrested for trying to go around an accident on way to driving range last weekend.Am I the only person who has no idea what you are talking about??
Skinner is not a #1 goalie. He only faced 17 shots and still gave up 2. That's an .882 SV%. On the 1st Canucks goal, bad turnover by his d-man, but Skinner didn't even look ready for the shot because he wasn't paying attention. 2nd Canucks goal was a long slapshot from just inside the blue line. Canucks win the faceoff to their right winger who skates forward hard, hockey stops and goes back the other way to send a pass to the middle point for a one-timer. Skinner over reacted like the play was going behind the net(he was already down in RVH against the left post), didn't read the play well for a pass back to the point, where he wasn't ready for the one-timer. The guy is really a dumb goalie, where the Oilers powerhouse offense and PP, cover a lot for his mistakes.Oilers almost blow it but manage to get through.
They are really going to struggle against Dallas. I can't see them winning that series.
I am going to say Dallas in 6. I think Oilers will win a couple purely because of their PP and the likes of McDavid and Draisatl. I also think one of those wins comes with Pickard in net.Took the favorited Oilers 7 games to beat a team that was playing their 3rd string rookie goalie and had a weak PP. Kings had a weak offense and weak PP, as did the Canucks. I expect the Stars to finish off the Oilers in 5.
