Post-Game Talk: OT Heartbreaker

[Gordy Elbows]

5 more games folks….the sky has not fallen.

 

[Ibanez]

Not putting this all on Skinner but I do wonder if Pickard could get the game 3 start? I doubt it but 9 gaa in his first 2 games is not going to get it done

The gaa don’t look good but the stuff last game was all a fluke. This game was not what we need though.

I think they go back to Stu. One actual “meh” game tonight. Trying not to be biased but I don’t recall many if any big saves tonight

 

[Dradavich]

This team is going nowhere with skinner in net.

 

[Pavel10]

We need a goalie.

Kinda late for that.

 

[elmeroil]

I feel like Pickard could go full playoff Roloson to be honest. Give him a try, we all know what playoff Skinner brings

 

[nabob]

I mean that’s all on Skinner. Eventually you need a save.

allowing that goal cannot possibly be all on Skinner. He actually made a lot of saves after the first three goals against.

That breakaway happening in OT is inexcusable

 

[GOilers88]

No way you go with Pickard next game. If Stu drops game 3 then absolutely.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Basically have to score 6 goals a night. Not a recipe fpr success in the playoffs.

 

[Gnome17]

Terrible lost oppurtunity. I give Skinner a pass on the 2nd goal, but he should have had one or two of the rest. An elite goaltender takes most of them. Just getting beat on shots, no need for Kings to make him move side to side..just shoot.

 

[sepHF]

Wow what a bounce off Byfields stick there, that was crazy. I was wondering how tf the puck found Kopitar

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Nurse needs to wake the f*** up

Happens every single playoffs.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

This is why I hate this place.

Second year guy, wasn’t good enough today, but to say you’ll never support him is an absolute clown take. Embarrassed for you.

He wasn’t good enough last game either, he’s given up 9 goals in 2 games. Which is only slightly above his playoffs GAA

 

[Oilers88]

Did Nurse’s brain turn off again on the winning goal?

Is his brain ever on?

 

[oil Leaks]

Need a few more saves

 

[nabob]

I wish we had Mike Smith, man he was good.

He also had some absolute tire fire playoff games.

 

[MoontoScott]

Meh, not really a heartbreaker. The Oilers didn't have a lead at all the entire game.

It'll be a series now. Team can't dig down and make a quick series, which could cost them again

I thought the Kings were the better team tonight. Breakaways in OT are bad news.

 

[Pavel10]

When pickard is looking like a feasible option you know management has been incompetent.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Jack Campbell is a better OT goalie than Skinner

think about that

 

[2for1PizzaPastuh]

we will never have the better goalie

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Even if they get past the kings, they're still f***ed by having Skinner in net. Too inconsistent

 

[Shizuka]

This is part of why I doubt the ability of this team to do anything. Came in with garbage energy (thanks kissel you f***ing douchebag), put themselves in a jackpot with the horrendous puck management and awful D zone play + scrambly coverage, expend lots of energy just to tie it, goalie lets in at least 2 that he for sure should have, and then the backbreaker OT goal where once again, an opponent is wide f***ing open to take a shot.. and Skinner has a clean look at shot... and can't make a save. Bouchard was GARBAGE tonight. 2nd line was a liability all game.

Tied up and heading to LA, when they could have just come in f***ing prepared to play right off the puck drop and made it easier for themselves going into LA with a 2-0 lead. Instead they sewer themselves as per usual. Anyways, off to LA. I'd like to punch Will Ferrell myself.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Skinner is the most vanilla goalie we'd had in so f***ing long he just turns into conklin every playoff game.

Somewhere Conklin felt very insulted by your statement

 

[oilers4life5]

Yes let’s keep blaming the goalie when we forget to play defence and give up breakaways. The analysis you guys have is laughable.

 

[nabob]

He wasn’t good enough last game either, he’s given up 9 goals in 2 games. Which is only slightly above his playoffs GAA

To say you’ll never support a player is a clown take. Period.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I wish we had Mike Smith, man he was good.

Lmao go back and watch the highlights from the Flames and Avs series. He was abysmal.
