Sometimes miracles
It was there, should have found a way. Go get the next one
First goal was a bad turnover, 2nd goal was a pretty performance by Kempe. But he needs to come up big and save one or two of the other chances, possibly also the first shot. Thats what good goalies does.OH f*** looks like the only player people wanna blame is skinner.
LMFAO what a joke
I'm starting to worry he doesn't have a mental concept of what pressure is. Good players elevate in playoffs and can. he brings the same aww shucks enthusiasm every game of the year doesn't matter if its postseason.I’m starting to get worried Skinner just doesn’t perform well in high pressure situations.
“MARK MY WORDS”I mean I don't think this team is winning 16 games either with our goaltending. We got the best fire power in the league.
I'd love to be proven wrong but being critical of the team doesn't mean looking for an I told you so.
Hell I went all leafs and canucks in my pool to at least hedge my happiness and hope in out end of next week.
It’s almost as if both of those teams are much better than we are.
You’re right, I forgot that Tampa just sorta accidentally won the Cup twice.They’re not. But they have goalies that can win them games.
We often have to win while battling our goaltending
I mean Talbot made some excellent saves tonight, while I can't remember a single excellent save that Stu made. His glove save on Draisaitl is one we will probably never see out of Stu this entire series, and his glove save on Bouchard's one-timer pretty much 100% gets by Stu.They just executed when they needed to.
So much time in the Kings D zone for the Oilers and they accomplished very little.
The Kings bent but didnt break.
Thanks for demonstrating you never have an actual reply. You stated there would be no difference starting Pickard. Pickard has a decent glove hand. Skinner Glove hand is so slow he's still moving it up in the dressing room.Right because you’re the holy god of hockey. My bad, forgot about that through all of my ridiculousness and stupidity.
I also forgot that somehow you are smarter than the 31 other GMs that aren’t starting Calvin Pickard.
It’s just amazing to me that a once in a generation hockey mind like yours is posting on a stupid fan board and not in a front office of an NHL team enjoying what I am sure would be unparalleled success.
What did he say?That Skinner interview is pure comedy.
Most elite goalies 100% do not completely change their routine like that lol.I'm starting to worry he doesn't have a mental concept of what pressure is. Good players elevate in playoffs and can. he brings the same aww shucks enthusiasm every game of the year doesn't matter if its postseason.
Most elite goalies at this level you can see they mentally prepare, get jacked, get adrenaline flowing. The work their stretches, work their edges, skating, they work their flexibility. You watch Skinner mopping about there with his stick as is he's in a Sunday dog park walking fido. This is Skinner.
Im not giving up yet but it did surprise me to see that the Kings had the Oilers big guns playing so flustered. The best Oilers in this game were the bottom 6 players.Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but I think the bolded is the rub of it
We should be happy that they made the playoffs and enjoy the ride. The team as is still far too inconsistent to be a serious contender
Hopefully some weakspots excised by the new GM
What did he say?
Skinner "Give me time to me cook"
He said I need to stop the shots I see and should have probably had some of them tonight that went in.What did he say?
Skinner "Give me time to me cook"
The Draisatl save was the only good one he made. He was shit most of the night but the oilers opted not to challenge him.I mean Talbot made some excellent saves tonight, while I can't remember a single excellent save that Stu made. His glove save on Draisaitl is one we will probably never see out of Stu this entire series, and his glove save on Bouchard's one-timer pretty much 100% gets by Stu.
This whole "the Oilers didn't really accomplish anything" is a load of bullshit. They scored 4 goals and created enough to score a couple more, but sometimes goalies make nice saves. I wonder what that feels like.
Agreed. And they need to be of this team has any chanceIm not giving up yet but it did surprise me to see that the Kings had the Oilers big guns playing so flustered. The best Oilers in this game were the bottom 6 players.
Im willing to bet that McDavid/Draisaitl and RNH will be much better in LA.
Maybe.Knob might be tempted to play him alongside McDavid next game.
You’re right, I forgot that Tampa just sorta accidentally won the Cup twice.
I would take that bet too.Im not giving up yet but it did surprise me to see that the Kings had the Oilers big guns playing so flustered. The best Oilers in this game were the bottom 6 players.
Im willing to bet that McDavid/Draisaitl and RNH will be much better in LA.
Not wrong. Both Talbot glove saves on Drai and Bouchard's bomb on the PP are without question behind Skinner. He gets beat on the glove hand A LOT.Thanks for demonstrating you never have an actual reply. You stated there would be no difference starting Pickard. Pickard has a decent glove hand. Skinner Glove hand is so slow he's still moving it up in the dressing room.
This is a joke.
What isn't a joke is that Kings were exploting Skinner glove hand all night. How do you NOT see that. Its on the Kings dressing room wall. You think Kempe doesn't know? He owns Skinner always.
Holloway has more goals than most players…The Draisatl save was the only good one he made. He was shit most of the night but the oilers opted not to challenge him.
That Holloway is our second leading goal scorer right now is laughable.
Doesn’t help that we gave em gifts all night too which lead to space to execute like that. Bouchs giveaway on goal 1 leads to pretty much a one timer in the slot with no one touching Kempe. Then the breakaway breakdown was self inflicted as well. The other goals the Kings made the plays.They just executed when they needed to.
So much time in the Kings D zone for the Oilers and they accomplished very little.
The Kings bent but didnt break.
People refuse to acknowledge how horribly bad his move across is. One game in Carolina pregame Skinner is "working on edges" and he slides across 20feet wiping out in practice. The whole Canes team laughs. They blow 4 by him in first period.Him flopping across on that cross crease and getting lucky it didn’t go in shoulda gotten him pulled.
Was the worst technique I’ve ever seen
Not my fault skinner though
