gtfoh with that call. Unbelievable still falling for Angelos garbage. Perfect time for it too with Oilers dominating. I can't wait for someone to actually bury that guy.

So that whole thing the other night was an act right? So ridiculous how everyone keeps buying into this stuff from Vegas. Or at least pretending to.

It’s more of a joke that Roy is in this game, and of course he scored….

Yeah I don't love that either.
Mcnabb looked like he might not ever walk again let alone play hockey the other night. And the last two days has been a non stop narrative about how the Oilers got away with one and how Vegas was so hard done by. Seems a bit odd that he is fine 48 hours later given the way he sold that.
I've seen this before.
How much you want to bet that when 29 scored the other night Mcnabb was on his way back down to the bench?

What do you even say to Skinner in the intermission? Keep him accountable? Let him know you have his back? The team starts rolling and he kills the momentum and the entire team and building deflates.
First one he falls back on his butt for wide open net. Second wide open five hole.

I will say, I expect better from these guys than to be so easily deflated. That rush we allow on the second goal was ridiculous. But that is way we play when we are deflated and panicking.
Just accept almost all the tough chances have a high chance to go in our net. Play hard, limit chances and keep getting chances on Hill. Hill is extremely beatable. No excuses.

The first goal was just terrible. Can not let that puck knock you over and drop it in the crease. No one can kill momentum and let in goals at the worst possible time like 74.
The second one was a legit scoring chance and awful defence from 33 and 92. But again it's Skinner - you know he isn't bailing them out there.

Yeah. First was weak as hell. The second one is on our skaters because they are getting Skinner PTSD. But if we wanna win we gotta be better than that. And Hill can be just as crappy. But if we stop pushing we are toast.
We are definitely dealing with a handicap but still think we have the players to pull it off. As long as guys don’t quit out there.

For sure. Probably good to get out of that period tied and hopefully reset.

Kane never touched his head.. his head went into the glass because of the impact of the clean hit.. Rigged.

Skinner is Campbell part II
Too bad Rodrigue is worse.
Pickard makes both those saves..
I feel I've seen this movie from Skinner before.. too many times.
