Bruce, there it is. – a Gary.
Bouch has been a lot better with Ekholm but did struggle a bit tonight. Some bad giveaways and also had a shot badly miss on the PP that went around the boards and turned into a 2 on 1 shorthanded goal against.
That turnover was so terrible, if you're getting pressured like that and there's a senator streaking down the middle but there's a teammate on the other side of him, you don't risk pass it through the middle and potentially let the senator have a wide open passage to the net, you bank it up the ice or shoot it up the ice, yes you'll take an icing call probably, but it's better than a guy having a b-way.
Skinner saving the oilers season
Ekholm: looks at Skinner after the 2nd save. Then looks at Bouchard and mouths W-T-F ?
Bouchard :
Whats with these " nhl " defencemen passing right up the gut in their own end ?? I don't get it , this is a Jr B move at best !
Who had Skinner as the Oilers starter on their bingo card this season?
Bouchard for E. Karlsson should've been tabled. Have a player who's playing the best hockey of his career. McDavid deserves a team that will go all in him. Like the Penguins did for Crosby all those years. Got him cups in exchange for the future.
These GMs and they're safe plays. Pathetic.
STUUUUUUUUUU
This is why skinnner is Da Absoloute GOAT!!!!
wtf is bouch doing?
STUUU
Skinner is no doubt the #1 goalie in Edmonton.
Soup just isn't ready to be a starter yet, he's leaky from distance; brutal.
Skinner should win Calder
Oilers coaching staff needs to really hammer home no more bad giveaways. Every game the oilers send 2-3 passes up the middle just to have it taken for a golden scoring opportunity. I bet they could lower their average goals against by like 0.5 if they just stopped making these terrible passes. It has the be the biggest thing to fix in their game before playoffs.
Connor almost punched Bouchard
I’m sure Skinner is used to this happening.
Stuuuuuuuu
