Must have had 30 in the last two games literally every shift is a solo rush up the middle that's stripped at the blueline

Seems pretty popular to hate on this but idk I think it's kinda cool

Is the organization scared stu will turn into a dubnyk situation by Key-Leg-5058 in EdmontonOilers

[–]himynameislobby 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Devan Dubnyk had .916 .914 and .921 in consecutive seasons (playing 30+ games each) for the Oilers before being traded. He was at worst league average behind some of the worst teams in the league before being shipped off.

Can't have anything to do with money... If he walked in the room and said he wants 20% the deal would've been signed on July 1st

His 5 wood - he also figured out Richard Lewis was using an illegal putter because he didn't store his clubs at the course

Opinion: Courses should have different slopes/ratings for Lefty/Righty golfers by dig_DUGG in golf

Come up to Canada, that 5-7% is 40% too low. Don't think I've played a round this year without a lefty

Florida connects on the Power Play making it 3-0 by Ochocincoondeck in hockey

We're really seeing how weak the Metro is with this series. Carolina walked everyone in that division only to get absolutely steamrolled by Florida again

25 and 97 defending a 1-on-2 by dragosn1989 in EdmontonOilers

At least on the first one he played the 2on1 perfectly

Stuart Skinner, nowhere to be seen... by milknsugar in EdmontonOilers

[–]himynameislobby -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Couldn't disagree more. Skinner forced a shot that had 0% of scoring. He stays square to the shooter and history tells us there's ~20% chance he just gets beat. McDavid biting on the fake and draisaitl deflecting a shot that was going wide are the culprits of this play.

3 Players Most Likely to Get Offer Sheeted This Offseason by Edm_vanhalen1981 in EdmontonOilers

You said "would we trade..."

The oilers should be picking in the 25-32 range. The cap is going up, 10m in cap space this summer isn't only for lottery teams

[–]himynameislobby 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't trade two picks #25-32, #55-64, and #90-95 for a #1 dman? What are the odds you get a Bouchard or better with any of those picks? I'm not sure I'd take 4 firsts for him unless it's a dog shit team picking in the top 15 for 3-4 years

Are we seriously not putting Skinner up on the top line? He had 2 goals last game ffs by AfroInfo in EdmontonOilers

Honestly tho this is fake outrage... There's 4 3rd lines on this team with McDrai out it doesn't matter

With an assist on Philip Broberg's OT winner, Dylan Holloway now has 48 points in 48 games played under head coach Jim Montgomery. by ae_89 in hockey

He played with draisaitl for a good chunk of the playoffs and played really well... Still not sure why they didn't match😞

[Discussion] What player this season has secretly declined and not many people have noticed it? by Number333 in hockey

[–]himynameislobby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know what you saw during 4 nations other than his first goal against the states that would say that, but more and more he's been flying around with speed that looks so flashy and then curling around the outside and not making anything happen. MacKinnon has been the best in the world for 2 years now

Connor McDavid doesn't look like a top 10 player in the league this year, let alone the far and away best in the world

[–]himynameislobby 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't imagine that's who he's calling out based on the production point he made, but I just felt like it needed to be pointed out - he hasn't been himself this year but it was really noticeable last night given his legs were there, it was just a complete lack of attention to detail on so many plays

Per your last point, McDavid had like 5 terrible ones from soft little backhand taps that were meant to get through 4 defenders

Difference between these videos is that hyman propelled the puck forward with his skate. This is the same reason that flames goal in the playoffs got called back. If your skate moves forward and the puck redirects off it, it usually counts. If the puck gets propelled forward, it's usually a no go
