Just gotta claw to .500 and take it from there. Lot’s of hockey left to be played.
When the defense has the guy behind the net and no way he can wrap it around - you have to be on your feet and ready to push out to a shooter. He was on his knees, too deep, protecting nothing. It was an easy goal- I can’t remember who scored but he had the whole net to shoot at. The first goal- Skinner is 6’7- you can’t tell me who couldn’t take away the bottom of the net. We saw Fleury do it on the 2 on 1 with McDavid
Slow starts can absolutely bury a team with the 3 point circus system.
but it didn’t. It wasn’t a one touch pass from behind the net. Stu was watching the play from his knees. Does he not look at possible guys in front? You can’t give up 3 goals on the Wilds only 3 chances. Sorry- I disagree
I thought they had the shitty first 10 games, but it's more like the shitty 18 games. Their record was 5-13 until they went on the 6 game winning streak.
I think that’s the thing people didn’t get before. When you are as far back as we were, with the amount of teams between us and a spot, they weren’t all going to lose while we won.
We’re clearly not going to agree. Your goalie can’t let in 3 goals on 3 high danger chances
Bad performance 1 game sample. Look at the last 5 games and tell me how awful Skinner is.
Sure. He had 2 games with an .850 sv%. He had a good game against Winnipeg. Oilers gave up next to nothing against Anaheim and Caroline. But yeah- last 5 games he had 2 that were AHL level.
