Post-Game Talk: OT Heartbreaker

[nexttothemoon]

You score 11 goals in 2 games... you should be up 2-0.

Now the series becomes a slog as the Kings can better play their own style in their own rink.

Oiler will still win this... but again this series is harder than it needs to be... because of the Oilers themselves rather than their opponents.

Holloway is going lets keep him on the fourth line after his 2nd goal make that make sense. Foegele gaffed the first goal and wasn't very impactful at all during the periods 2 or 3 so why would you not swap those players? I'd rather have Samsonov in the playoffs than Skinner at this point its pretty sad.

 

[The Moose]

I don't think Pickard is the answer. Damn, yet another goaltending controversy..... We have to hope that Skinner and D rebound in LA.

Need a few more saves

Typical playoff game from that fraud

 

[foshizzle]

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

Not even Stauffer agrees with you- the biggest Oiler homer.

 

[Pavel10]

He also had some absolute tire fire playoff games.

Yeah guy would absolutely put him self int he worst spot. Thing I remember about Mike Smith he cost us the first game Vs kings and last game Vs avs.

Started and ended the playoffs the same. Literally costing us the game. Oh and he had a full blown chimp meltdown blaming anyone but himself.

Skinner defenders need to shut the f*** up forever

 

[McFlyingV]

If Skinner plays like that again he should be out of the starters net.

 

[Messrules11]

It was the Skinner screw job all night

 

[Oildrum]

Ceci was up at the redline for some reason tangled with someone and Nurse not covering him. Needs to make that save though.

I can’t even count how many times tonight I said “what the f*** are you doing Ceci”

I get he’s not a top pairing D. But he makes decisions like a junior high kid.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

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

5 goals on 21 shots

make a goddamn BIG save

 

[Ibanez]

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

Wins are good. Too many people expect sweeps i think.

We did not deserve this game.

Drai and McDavid only “good” tonight and not great

And Kane was the only player on the 3rd line that played well tonight. Perry with the stare at the end of the game when he was absolute garbage. Honestly I hate our 3rd line right now. McLeod is so so so soft. It kills us

And then throw in skinners bad performance and it was a bad recipe

Good teams find a way through this.

Best of 5. Let’s go

 

[Tom Brady]

Skinner was a disaster, absolutely unacceptable goaltendting.


Defence was just as bad.

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Already over it, we'll sweep in LA and close it out game 5. LA was bound to win one here. They always do.

 

[McDoused]

Nurse was our only Dman tonight with a plus raring. Weird bounce right on the tape of Kopitar and Skinner can't bail us out.

 

[Patch101]

we will never have the better goalie

We will, once the McDavid/Leon era is over haha
.........cause that's how it works around here.

 

[Despote]

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

He was a million times better than Skinner. He stole games every once in a while and always rebounded from a bad game with a great game.

 

[Pavel10]

Jack Campbell is a better OT goalie than Skinner

think about that

Jack Campbell stole the oilers an OT playoff game in relief of skinner. Skinner has never stolen a playoff game.

 

[Oilhawks]

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

Yeah, Oilers didn't deserve to win tonight. They played too comfortable most of the game. Skinner and Nurse were the goats but they needed more from a lot of the players. Support cast actually showed up

 

[nabob]

Not even Stauffer agrees with you- the biggest Oiler homer.

He needs to make saves. Never said he didn’t. But to allow that breakaway by Nurse sleeping is inexcusable

 

[Jarvi]

Skinner not good enough, Nurse and Ceci leave the Kings best player all alone in the center of the ice. The more things change, the more they stay the same. This team can't get out of its own way.

It's the same 3 guys nearly everytime.

 

[PBandJ]

f***

All good boys. It took the Kings everything they had to pull that out. We got this.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Skinner defenders need to shut the f*** up forever

Do those still exist after tonight?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Also hey Nurse/Ceci is still a pairing. They’re awesome, keep playing them together.
