But an equally huge factor is that Skinner rebounded substantially while VV kept circling the drain. Holland’s patience there rewarded, while Fitz’s pigheadedness blew up in his face. “Skinner, who had a tough start to the season (along with the rest of the team) now sits in 5th place in the NHL with 24 wins and is in 11th place in GAA with a 2.56 GAA in 38 games.” Edited February 23 by smelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smelly Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Daws - 4 GA on 14 shots. Fitz needs to stop pretending that his raw, unproven G are anything more than that. It’s not only stupid, it’s not fair to the goalies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND the oilers started scoring at will during their 16 game BOOM following the coaching change. But yeah, definitely was only the goalie suddenly figuring it out and not a new voice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I honestly don’t see what we have to lose by injuring Rags right now. Like, someone just do a Bertuzzi on Trouba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you are going to be holding on to that bridge for a long, long time. You have absolutely no proof for that tautological argument If you think firing Lindy would have made VV passable you better not be making the bridge buying decisions in your house. And Patrick Roy and the Isles say hello. 1 minute ago, jagknife said: He’s going to convince Andrew Hammond to come out of retirement Sadly, I might even endorse that at this point.

Nicomo Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Defensive lapses and goaltending aside (not Daws fault), there’s just absolutely no excuse for a team who is built around their forwards to have such an anemic offense. Not scoring on multiple extended power plays is inexcusable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason not to recoup a significant asset for him at this point instead of letting him ride it out with this sh!t show They are not better with him and it looks like they are not making the playoffs.

No one is pinning this on Daws. But if you don’t think that riding Daws as something he’s not because they have no other options isn’t part of the overall problem, then you are just being stubborn. Just loving the fire Lindy circle jerk in which no one says literally anything new, when that was what the same folks killed me for for months re the goaltending. Don’t be so resentful because I was a million percent correct. Pointless to do anything now. Keep assets and wait until summer when the options behind the bench and in net will be wider and better.
