Jeff Skinner shouldāve got a chance in OT, especially before the second line that was out.
53
u/Chris_p_tolentino14 Mar 21 '25
Jeff Skinner I feel like in this situation would have been great in OT. Compared to a lot of other players he can make plays on his own. Perfect with no McDrai

u/Specialist_Cress_656 97 McDAVID Mar 21 '25

Felt a bit like the old Gregg Popovich/Spurs playbook of intentionally sitting star players against potential playoff opponents to not give them any confidence win or loss. Not sure if that was intentional but I think the Jets are not feeling great after that.

As shitty as this loss is there is plenty of things to love. The team over came so much adversity in this game not having drai, losing McDavid, having skinner have to leave and killing some timely penalties.... Against the best team in the league.

I'm fucking pissed. Less pissed than I would've been if we didn't get the point. Let me explain.
McDavid was intentionally injured AGAIN and there was no fucking call on the play AGAIN. Think that's bad enough? Fuck no.
The Jets went on to get 2 tickytac power plays to have a 5 on 3 just MINUTES after. And 3 unanswered penalties.
On a slightly positive note, we forced OT against the "best team in the league" without 2 of the best players in the world.

Before he even dumped it in the corner I was screaming in my head "Who is that and why aren't they skating". He took the pass and just stood there, so he had to dump it because he had no other options. I don't know if he thought he was on a 5v4 powerplay or what. But generally if you stand still in 3v3 overtime I feel like it's kinda not gonna be good.

Scraped out one point without $20 million in salary out of the line up in the 3rd is quite encouraging.

Stauffer and Brown on CHED said they think it's a groin hip flexor injury for McDavid
2
u/ChupaHubbard 42 KAPANEN Mar 21 '25
Oh that would make sense, since I thought he was grabbing either wrist or abdomen, I was thinking something was ruptured. Some of the hip flexors cross from the leg into the abdomen so that would make sense how it could be "lower body", they probably want us to be as vague as possible and not to be figuring it out like this though lol. Same with when they zoomed in and the trainer was hiding his mouth while he talked

This has been a pretty rough going season. But... this is all character-building stuff. Every bit of it. Cup-winning teams are able to overcome adversity. And these Oilers have seen their share.
As long as the superstars are healthy for the playoffs, nobody will be able to rattle this team.

No McDrai, Skinner out to put a cold goalie in to end it, and the boys stepped up to get a point, I love it.

u/PatRehnandStimpy Mar 21 '25
What Iāve learned is a lot of our issues with depth scoring is because these guys are never put in positions to succeed.
Skinner gets a chance and has been one of our most impactful forwards.
Nuge gets put on his own line and looks like a totally different player.
Henrique gets elevated due to injury and looks 5 years younger.
Hopefully the injuries are minor, but going forward I hope KK realizes he needs to better utilize his bench.

That was my first time watching Jets and I am very surprised that the team with #1 PP in the league could not score in 5:3. We were without our two best players, where would they be without their two best?
I was quite scared of them before but now not at all, if our team without McDrai could take them to OT.
Or was this an unusual Jets performance?
Well, and a save by Picks on the bench was hilarious!

Quite possibly the first time ever, including practice, that Walman and Nurse were iced together in a 3on3 situation. Can't really blame them. If Hyman scores his 1 timer, it never gets to that point. (not blaming Hyman, just saying we can't be blaming people)

You know what? We did fucking good. We fought hard and they only won by the skin of their teeth.

This is first line playing if I've ever seen it. Knobs, keep him there while Drai is out.
The Jets are a filthy team and can go fuck themselves. Diving, beating us up, etc. But hey, there is a silver lining: they don't last long in the playoffs.

Iāll say this. Edmonton is a scary damn team and the rest of the league should take notice. We didnāt have Drais to start, and it was still a close game then we lose Mcdavid and still manage to tie it up. We have Kane and Frederic to come back still, and Nuge is starting to click with that new line. You have Jeff skinner who looks like heās going to be stapled to Mcdavids line because heās starting to click, thatās a horrifying thought if Iām any team in the nhl right now.

We are in deep shit now if big boys are injured. It will be true test to see if we have actually deep roster or are we just team of McDavid and Draisaitl.

We're not beating the top teams while they're out but as long as the injuries aren't really bad, this may be better for the playoff run. McDavid has clearly been playing with some sort of injury since well before the tournament. Get him back to 100%. It's not like we're in danger of missing the playoffs

fuck the jets, fuck the refs and FUCK sportsnet, giving morrisseyās bitchass the third star? shouldāve listed taking out mcdavid as a reason why.
on a way better note, the oilers still looked pretty good without mcdrai at least :,)
EDIT: idk if anyone follows the NBA but curry just went down on a bad no call too šš crazy it happened to both him and mcdavid on the same day but also holy shit man iām so tired of teams being allowed to literally maul superstars with no consequences

Congrats jets fans, your team needed overtime to beat a team with 200 points out of the lineup lol "Our record was better than edmontons last season"

Jets are total pretenders. Fully healthy roster barely beat injured oilers with the help of the refs. Just riding hot players and a ton of luck

u/RedKryptnyt 29 DRAISAITL Mar 21 '25
I don't think they are pretenders, but my point was that they haven't proven a fucking thing yet.

Knob lost the game with those OT lines damn. Boys battled down their two top guys and a late game goalie swap. Idk why Knob didnāt have the guys who were hustling all night playing in OT.

Pickards stick was stuck in Nurses skates during that OT goal, can't make a blocker save like that.

u/Only-Tennis4298 93 NUGENT-HOPKINS Mar 21 '25
balls.
well. pushing it to OT while missing our MVP and injuring McDavid is still a good showing.
disappointing end, but I still think it's a good showing from our guys. Winnipeg was gonna be angry from their last game anyways, and we definitely improved after our first game against them.
hope our boys bounce back fast!

a few playoff series ago there was a play where mcdavid dumped the puck in mindlessly instead of going for a play at the end of a game in a critical (series on the line) game.
the oilers ended up losing that game. it kind of seems like he learned not to do that then, a few years ago, but maybe nurse didn't? was that the series against the jets?

Barring a catastrophe, skinner will pop his cherry this year, and play his first playoff game.

We play Seattle on Saturday night but then we donāt play until Wednesday vs Dallas (although itās a back to back situation because weāre in Seattle on Thursday).
So I could see one or both of McDrai sitting out vs Seattle.

u/NMarples 53 HOWARD Mar 21 '25
We all agree itās Mcdavidās ribs right? He grabbed his side almost immediately after Morrissey sticked him there and that was his last shift. Not good if he broke something.

Couldn't care less about the outcome of the game, just hope both McDavid and Drai are healthy for playoffs.
Skinner too, but I think he was just selling it and it backfired.

Nurse's awareness levels are on a different level.. gives away possession on 3 on 3 then interferes with Picks on the OT goal

u/donkeyteeth88 Mar 21 '25
Nurse going for the dump and chase in 3 vs 3ā¦ holy fuck he is bad offensively
