That Weegar call was atrocious. It’s either both or none as McDufus started the hug fest to try and get a breakaway. The ref was even on the side where you could clearly see his arm too.

Their story was supposed to be about the great generous McDavid who signed a lower contract so they could double Walmans contract and lead to an 82-0 season
He should have signed for less.
Outside of one line, that roster would not make the AHLplayoffs

I'm not even sure Weegar reached in at all.
I hope, upon review, stripes is embarrassed
Despite the refs’ best intentions flames held the fort. Brutal, brutal call in OT. When is the NHL going to crack down on these two dips**ts grabbing sticks and faking interference? Deutchebag does it now too… following the antics of his meal ticket Connor.

They never will because they love the McDavid and draisaitl powerplay goals
Colby Armstrong saying flames got lucky to get back into the game (gridin goal yes, but , Zary goal was not luck, Coleman goal was due to terrible oilers communication ), then they willed themselves to win. Colby loves his oilers as well and towing the sportsnet narrative.
No mention of all the awful penalties favouring the oilers.

Game start will be 9:00 PM for player introductions and 45 minute standing ovation for McDavid.

Hopefully this year is different…maybe the McDavid signing will give the team the boost they need to be motivated for the start of the season.

This ####ing team making me sweat all summer with all the soft management moves (except for Cheeks) and then WAITING until opening week to drop a whole bunch of solid extensions
I’M SO PUMPED FOR TONIGHT.

please, for the love of god...don't lay an egg
they seem to talk a big game in training camp only to mess themselves in Game 1

I am ready to be hurt again

Hopefully these bums finally learn how to win in October and November. Will certainly make things easier later on
Hubris before the storm

I'll consider this game a failure if we don't ####stomp them with at least 8 goals.

Run it up

dude our team is f***ing stacked

We’re f***ing them up. Nice
Quote:
Well that could have been better, the Oilers should just win this, the Oilers are just better.
Quote:
Have the Flames had a scoring chance in this game? Goals aside, our control of the possession game has been impressive.

Another year of clowning on Coleman in a flames jersey.
Gridin’s 1st NHL Goal!

Of course a rookie scores their first goal against us.

Lucky bounce.

Draisaitl could get himself kicked out of a ceremonial face off.

Whichever guy was talking about a shutout, that one was on you, man

We are so good at scoring we score on ourselves
Quote:
Poor Skinner getting #### all for shots and then that goes in
Quote:
That all started because Nurse tried a dipsy doodle in the Flames end and lucky bouncy for Flamers
Quote:
WTF is Nurse trying to dangle players. And turning the puck over instead of getting it deep.
Quote:
This is Gridin's game and we're all just a part of it.
Quote:
I don't praise a Flamer ever. I just spent the 2nd period with the telecast knob polishing this player the whole period as if its a Flamers broadcast and I sure don't want to be hearing mroe about in this Oilers thread.
Its the Hated lfames. The godless flames. shelbyville. They shall receive zero praise.
Quote:
Good guy Drai will give it up.
Quote:
Well. Dammit
Knew it was coming eventually
Quote:
lol
Quote:
Of course it has to he an ugly fluky goal.
Quote:
Why's Nurse tryin to dangle people at this point.
Quote:
Lots of sloppy plays leading to that
Quote:
Meh. Give them one. Make them feel important and then smash them
Quote:
Skinner not ready like cover your five hole
Quote:
Don’t speak to soon, flames have a PP and skinners save percentage is at .900…
Zary with the patience of a fox
Quote:
Can't you challenge these now
Quote:
Holy f***. What is happening
Quote:
3 angles show that’s it’s probably above the cross bar. Add that all up and it’s pretty much conclusive.
Now watch this joke ass league #### up the call.
Quote:
Ain’t no way
Quote:
Oh f***
Quote:
Yeah not surprised with ####ner in net
Quote:
Skinner in post season form
Quote:
Coughing up leads is just part of the script with this team
Quote:
Aaaaaand shots 10 and 11 go in…
Quote:
Skinner the great equalizer. But I'm sure theres been 15 not ever his fault posts already absolving him on everything. The frustrating thing is Oilers absolutely locked this game for 30mins. Stewed lets in a 5 hole and Flames suddenly have a spark of life. They had nothing before that. Flames in this game really for 5mins and have two garbage goals to show for it.
Quote:
And the floodgates have opened on Stu...
"Not his fault" post coming in 3...2...
Quote:
Shut up Jack. I cannot stand the whole ‘looking to draw within one’ lamer braindead commentary all year long.
And of course right after he says that it goes in. Louie adamant that it’s a good goal.
f*** this crew. f*** SN.
Quote:
Oilers hockey is back - dominating and 2 insane bounces end up in the back of our net
Quote:
Skinner needs to lock in here, no more freebies.
Quote:
Pull Skinner before it's too late.
Quote:
Skinner may not be to blame on the first, but he's still such an unclutch goalie. Ingram licking his chops already
Quote:
Skinner what are yo doing slow as molasses. Bring up Ingram, I've seen enough hahaha
Quote:
Skinner is absolute trash.
Quote:
lmao so first goal against is an own goal and the 2nd is a ####ing awful case of refpuck lmao
Quote:
here comes everyone blaming skinner for that one
Quote:
How the f*** do they call that a goal
Quote:
That’s a goal. 3-2. Skinner, 2 on like 11 shots. lol.
Quote:
Relax Zary you f***en loser
Quote:
2 goals on 11 shots ...Skinner still cant make a big save
Quote:
Momentum swing started when nurse thought he was Mcdavid

"we're happy with Skinner thus far"
Skinner Craps the Bed
Quote:
Lovely.
Quote:
I am shocked
SHOCKED
well not that shocked
Quote:
Lmafo anyone here want to defend that one
Quote:
Are we still pretending skinner doesn’t suck?
Quote:
This guy probably f***ing sucks at mario kart too this f***ing loser bitch
Quote:
Can't help but laugh when you see things like that
Not only is Skinner's ability to track pucks and plays non-existent, but apparently he can't even tell when players of the opposing team are closing in on him
He missed his calling as a ref, literally imitating Mr.Magoo out there.
Quote:
Skinner is a brown stain on the shorts of life
Quote:
I f***ing hate skinner
Quote:
Buddy is holding his stick in the way of Bouchard taking the puck, but expects him to take the puck. What even was that man.
Quote:
Guy is f***ing braindead.
Quote:
Skinner can f*** all the way off.
Quote:
Okay, f*** you skinner
Quote:
Just tuned back in and I see 3 goals on 14 shots. Never change Stu. Never change.
Quote:
That first goal was dog####, not sure how that can be defended. Banked off a skate 15 feet in front of him with zero traffic, that should not slide along the middle of the ice and beat him clean.
He needs to start getting the Jultz treatment and just boo his ass until management trades him.
Fed up with this bum of a goalie.
Quote:
It isn’t a start to an oilers season without some clown goals
Quote:
Crazy weird goals. I swear this amount of weird goals only happens against the Oilers
Quote:
lol
god help me
I can't take another season of this.
Quote:
What the actual f*** was that
Quote:
Man f*** you Stu. f*** all the way off.
Quote:
This is shaping up to be a laugh fest
Quote:
Why the #### is this guy on our roster
Quote:
3 goals on 3 consecutive shots
lol
Quote:
ANOTHER 3 GOALS UNDER 14 SHOTS AGAIN LIKE FN CLOCKWORK
Quote:
The sooner this moustached piece of #### is gone from this team, the better.
He is such a f***ing loser.
Quote:
This is part of the reason Connor wants the opportunity for an option out in a few years

Connor McDavid questioning his life choices right about now.
Quote:
Friedman: "This is a league first, folks. I've just found out McDavid's extension had an out clause to annul it, and with Skinner giving up 3 in less than 15 in game one, it's been triggered."
Quote:
“Mr. Ingram, how is your rehab stint in the AHL going?”
“Well I haven’t actually played a…”
The Edmonton Oilers have waived Stuart Skinner and recalled Connor Ingram
Quote:
I honestly love it. The faster this trash implodes, the faster we'll trade his fat ass
Quote:
Every 1 in 4 shots,… always
Quote:
Imagine being Skinner. New goalie coach, lose weight, this is supposed to be your year after two years of your abilities being (rightfully) questioned. Two days before the season starts the captain takes a sweetheart deal specifically so the team can improve the deficiencies it has to get a Cup, and every pundit with a passing knowledge of hockey thinks it’s you. Come out in the season opener, not even playing bad, and can’t muster more than an .820 SV% over two periods. I think the guy is just cursed. I also think he’s not that good, but also being cursed sucks as well lol
Quote:
I was willing to somewhat give a pass on the first two goals against… but all 3 goals failed to battle for the puck and cover his net. Bowman absolutely has to add another option, or Ingram needs a look quick.
Vibes were through the roof and were back to the same frustrating bull#### yet again
Quote:
‘Y’know I felt really good out there, good energy, had my head in the game and we’re off to the next one.’ - Skinner, probably.
Quote:
This is exactly why I didnt start f***ing watching
Quote:
that 3-0 was nice while is lasted
Quote:
Next goal wins.. every shot against has me clenching
Quote:
Every time the opposing team has the puck its like a f***ing NUKE WAITING TO GO OFF
Quote:
To be honest, I liked it better when it was 3-0.

That’s such a dive by Kadri

Nice dive, Kadri.
Shootout Showdown

This game should have been an easy 4-1 W game but our goalie is an absolute bum and makes every game a yard sale.

Do we really want to lose to the Calgary fLames the first game of the season? COME ON BOYS.

Thanks for gifting the flames a point (or 2) you f***ing slug

Skinner will lose us this game on his own. Just like he did in our first game last season.

The Most Annoying One of All

Ofcourse Kadri wins it for them. haha

Womp womp.

This hurts me. It hurts so bad

it had to be Kadri lol

f*** you slug

had to be this f***head huh
Quote:
Old piece of #### Kadri. Lols
Quote:
Probably would have preferred any other Flame. Except maybe Anderson.
Brutal.
Quote:
f*** you Kadri this is your Stanley Cup win
Quote:
LOL. Skinner lost us another game on his own to start the season.
And just like last year you had people defending him on the early goals.
The more things change....
Quote:
no team that blows a 3-0 lead deserves to win
Quote:
Looks like Oilers couldnt bail out Skinner's 3 goals on 22 shots.
Quote:
As soon as I saw Khadri, I knew he was going to score. Sigh. Eff our starting goalie.
Oilers Hockey is Back!
Quote:
Third straight lid lifter that they have #### the bed. They promised they would be prepared for this one. Empty words. What an embarrassing loss.
Quote:
Go up by 3 early, then watch 3 of the flukiest goals you've ever seen go in to give the other team the comeback. Miss about a dozen grade A chances to lose in a shootout.
Most Oilers #### I've ever seen.
Quote:
The usual culprits back at it.
Nurse with the momentum swing thinking he’s prime Bobby Orr on the first goal.
Then he can’t clear it infront of his net, loses the puck in his skates on the second goal.
Stuart just a flaming pile of ####.
It’s. Every. God. Damn. Game. With these two idiots.
Quote:
Not shocked by the result. I told my wife after it was 3-0, Skinner still had a chance to lose us the game.
Quote:
In the end we were fortunate to get a point out of this. We blew a 3 goal lead and had to kill a penalty in the final minute and a half. It’s clear in game 1 (and why wouldn’t it be?) that this teams big issue is still this teams big issue no matter how hard some pretend that it isn’t.
Quote:
Skinner is the SOLE reason my Oilers enthusiasm is low. There is ZERO Hope with this POS sieve
Quote:
Bad bounce
Blown goal review
Stu gift
This was truly an oilers opener classic
Quote:
Only the Oilers would lose a game with an own goal, an illegitimate goal and a donated goal by our goaltender.
Quote:
We got:
A point.
Confirmation that Skinner did not magically change into a better goalie during the offseason.
Quote:
Stu hung in there in the shootout while the Oilers had a lot of mediocre attempts. That said, the 3rd goal was horrendous...
A fluke goal, a potential high-stick goal, a terrible Stu mistake goal, and a skills contest to completely give up a point that we all but had in the bag.
Brutal. But we looked alright for much of it. Wolf is legit.
Quote:
Can you just imagine how good this team would be if we had a goalie like wolf… I am not Skinner hater but I wish this team had a superstar goaltender man. Life would just be easier.
Quote:
Maybe it's just seeing him opposite an elite goalie like Wolf but Skinner needs to go. Statistically for goals saved above expected he's only cracked the top 30 once (essentially meaning he'd be backup on any other team in the league)
2024-25: 65th 2023-24: 35th 2022-23: 21st 2021-22: 38th 2020-21: 36th
He's a nice guy, but need to be ruthless and get a goalie who can steal a game if we want the cup.
Quote:
Connor has to tell whoever he needs to that this was Skinner’s last game as the starter or it will never ever change. It’s the only way.
I also hope that shameful display tonight is enough for our gormless media to start holding Knob’s (and Bowman’s) feet to the fire over sticking with such a pitiful goalie again and again and again, but Gregor and the rest are such ####s I can’t see it. They care more about being shills for OEG than doing their jobs.
Quote:
so much for a "good start" they keep preaching year after year
same old same old in season openers...but they got a point this year
Skinner sucks and Wolf doesn't, no surprise
they blew it
Quote:
We need to shove skinner into a California Closet (send him to San Jose for a 4th).
Quote:
Was gonna mention this too. 8 shots in shootout, 4 beat him. Wolf is having to contend with scoring legends at the other end.
Man that 3rd goal. One game into the season and we already have Skinners first absolute bozo goal. His highlight blooper real is legend goof ups.
To make matters worse Debrusk trying to absolve Skinner of that absolute botch continually saying it was a mixup in communication. Like its a 50-50 screw up. ffs its a routine dump, should be no problem for any goalie. Skinner mind locks there, has puck right in front of him, he could do anything, freeze the puck, swat it to corner, anything. He has yet another mental lapse and just watches the goal happen, of course getting f***ed silly pregnant on the 5 hole.
In case any remaining Skins fans need anymore yardstick. This guy CANNOT be your #1 at highest rung of hockey.
