Goaltending - where you're only as good as your last shot against.

Preparing myself for the after game tweet warfare.

Winning team: "We own you! We are superior! You bunch of whiny lovers."

Losing team: "Doesn't matter. It's a joke of a tournament. No one cares. Just wait till the Olympics"

I'm old enough to remember the dynasty years and "fans" were bitching about Fuhr. True story. And everyone wanted Billy Ranford out of town when he struggled in 1990 in the 1st round vs the Jets. It's almost tradition to shit on Oiler goalies.

Well, another game where the Oilers don't win 10-0. Time to blow up the team, make numerous trades, and obviously get different goalies in that we can blame.

Great team win. Obviously, I'm not counting our goalie. He's only relevant when we lose. 🙄

I haven't researched this but I think Connor Brown has scored on 100% of his OT shots this season.

Oiler goalies with playoff wins in seasons they went to the finals:
Grant Fuhr - 56
Andy Moog - 17
Bill Ranford - 16
Stu Skinner - 14
Dwayne Roloson - 12
Jussi Markkanen - 3
Calvin Pickard - 1

My piss off is that there's so many "fans" that look forward to our goalies having an off game so they can jump up on their "I told you so" soapbox but say fuck all when they're rock solid, which is the majority of the time.

McDavid just got another 3 games added to his suspension because, as captain of the team, he's also responsible for fan behavior and that nacho thing is unacceptable.
January 22, 2025 at 4:50 AM
Damn, we lost. We'll, I guess there's only 2 options now. Either we trade 10 players or go into rebuild mode.

Hey, where are the "game's over" peeps when it was 3-0?? We've seen these comebacks time and time again and you still give up on this team??
January 17, 2025 at 5:19 AM
I am not proud of the sound I just made when McDavid scored but it was meant to be a joyful noise.
January 17, 2025 at 4:16 AM
Well obviously we have to blow up the team. Trade every goalie in the organization for Hellebuyck. We don't even need a back up then. If Bowman can't get Hedman and Werenski then what kind of GM is he. Get the top 6 from the Habs to make our bottom 6. So easy!

You can have your Auld Lang Syne, the only song I wanted to hear this New Years was La Bamba.
Happy New Years Oil Country!!!

So, we win 8 of 9 and everything is great. We lose 2 in a row and now it's back to "bag skate them", "bench this guy", "we need a shake up", etc.
This was a stinker. You're gonna have stinkers in an 82 game season.

Breaking news!!!!
The goalie union has asked that any and all recordings of the Oilers/Panthers game be destroyed.
December 17, 2024 at 5:06 AM
What this game lacks in structure, it more than makes up for in entertainment.
December 17, 2024 at 4:05 AM
Zach Hyman is 1 of maybe 5 guys in the NHL that don't go down after taking a 95 mph to the face.
December 17, 2024 at 3:09 AM
Fun fact: Oilers have lost only 1 game over the past 2 seasons in which Derek Ryan scored.
December 13, 2024 at 4:05 AM
For all the shit Stuart Skinner gets, many tend to forget that he's one of the only full time NHL goalies that McDavid has never scored an official NHL goal against.
December 11, 2024 at 2:55 AM
My personal opinion, these are the biggest oversights from each 4 Nations team:

Canada - Brandon Montour
Finland - Henri Jokiharju
Sweden - Rasmus Sandin
USA - Neal Pionk

All d-men, interestingly enough.
December 6, 2024 at 5:11 PM
Where was Stu Skinner on that one?? Not even in the picture! And that's why he's not on Team Canada

So let me get this straight, the Oilers lose 1-0 and somehow there's those that are blaming our goaltending.
