I wouldn't care myself really but I'm just curious to know your logic I was pissed with Vegas in the early years because of how they blackmailed the other teams in the expansion draft Now, I don't feel as bad about them after a few years. There is also a sense of teams needing to 'pay their dues' and suffer a bit before winning it all, but that is a minor sentiment these days Edited May 15, 2023 by Rob_Ottawa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RizzMB30 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Honestly can't believe that the Oilers are out. With the changes they brought in at the deadline, I really thought they were going to win it or at get to the SCF. Ekholm, Bjugstad were great adds by the management.

Edmonton should make a run at Hellebuyck. Edited May 16, 2023 by MadDog2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, Skinner was pretty good for them. Definitely has flashes. The question is can they get out from underneath Campbell? Who had a great playoffs after an awful regular season iirc.

Skinner got pulled a couple times against Vegas. I wasn’t overly impressed with him of what I saw. Then again, it’s not like I watched every minute of that series either.

I've at least had Pens fans come up to me in person and tell me that we (Devils) were one of the rumored teams. Not that I wouldn't want him, but I don't see Fitz spending a lot of assets for a goalie after Schmid's play. I guess Schmid-Hellebuyck could be a world beater duo, but I would assume Vanecek is going the other way and maybe Fitz gives the Jets the picks they want. Idk Edited May 16, 2023 by RizzMB30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RizzMB30 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) Kyle Dubas was pretty sad on this SportsNet feed for the Oiler game I'm watching. Nobody knows what the higher ups are thinking. This season looks like it took a toll on Dubas and family life. There's a lot of anxiety in that locker room and org right now.

Idk The thing about Hellebuyck is that he’s not young anymore and he’s gonna be due an extension; that sh!t screams ‘Cory Schneider’ to me, and I’m not going down that road again. I’d prefer to run it back with Schmid and Vanecek. Edited May 16, 2023 by MadDog2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the numbers are strong suggestions, but Oettinger is 12 saves into the 2nd period right now of a 0-0 game 7. Maybe because of how structured Dallas tends to play is why those analytics are so bad for Wedgewood/Oetter. I fully expect VV to bounce back. Also the high games/minutes played for both Skinner and Oetter has helped sink those numbers too. Some playoffs series are just not drawn up with teams that are going to have 0-0 slogs everynight. Playoffs tends to be one-sided slugfest. Side note: Holy sh!t Robertson from DAL cannot buy a goal right now. He looks worse than Haula during our win streak this year.
