Koskinen sized up the moment like a guy addressing a tee shot, or getting ready to chop some wood. He addressed the post, setting his distance, taking a nice, wide stance — bend the knees slightly — and started chopping away.“I don’t know if I’ve ever seen the first four shots go in your net,” said Oilers head coach Dave Tippett, who has only been in hockey for a short time.“The first one was poor coverage . The second one was a poor turnover .
It’s not an NHL record, allowing the first four shots in a game to pass. It happened to Minnesota North Stars goalie Don Beaupre back in 1989, and Dan Bouchard a decade before for the Atlanta Flames.“After the third one I was going to let him battle. After the fourth one, we needed a change,” spat Tippett. “Some nights, it’s not your night.”Ever since Peter Chiarelli signed him to that enormous three-year, $13.
There was a night in the old barn in Winnipeg when Jets defenceman Deron Quint scored two goals in four seconds on Edmonton goalie Joaquin Gage, an NHL record that still stands today. The second one was a simple dump-in off the centre-ice faceoff, but when Gage circled behind his net to play the puck it caromed off a station and into the yawning net.
Spec He literally might lose his job over this
Spec In my 50 years of watching Hockey I can say with certainty, I have never seen that before!
Spec It doesn't help the goalies when the players in front of them are negligent to bodycheck the puck-carriers on the 'kill-floor' choosing instead to wave their sticks impotently at the puck! Oilers had best clean that up or their playoff run will be damned short!
Spec Oilers first round, 0-4 exit coming up.
Spec I honestly hope we don’t see him play for the Oilers ever again!
Spec Worst Chiarelli contract? $42M Lucic wasn’t exactly a value deal the day it was signed and got worse after every game played. How soon we forget.
Spec Respected for his “measured approach” That was a sentence. The media especially have raked him over the goals for his lack of passion, lack of battle and fire, especially compared to Smith.
Spec When is he getting sent down? He’s terrible. Absolutely trash. Hot garbage
Spec Why not give Stalock a start?
Spec Fuck off Spec you didn’t want to mention that until last nights game he was having a better statistical season than smith?
Spec Well the oilers are gonna need to prey Smith doesn’t get hurt in the playoffs.. hmmmm goalie run in game 1 Lol 😬😬
Spec Never seen me play a beer league game then I guess
Spec Yup. Question is. What do they do next season. Everyone can clearly see that this is Mike Smith's Swan song. Or at least should be. He's pushing 40. Great warrior. And I'm sure the Oil faithful are expecting 3 or 4 more years of this. But....
Spec I wonder why Austin Mathews has 40 goals this season hmmmm i wonder thinking.....hmmmm
Spec Pistol Pete Chiarelli special
Spec I wish I'd taken a pic of the tv screen when it showed the score 4-0 and 3 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘴 for Vancouver. 🤔
Spec And articles like this are the reason people forget he had a 925 sv% since Smith returned from injury. Trash
Spec Have the oilers ever had a good goaltender? Like honestly my whole life I’ve never seen a good quality goaltender in their net no matter what the defence looks like
Spec spec is a twat waffle. He is softer than Koskinens save ratio tonight.
Spec Maybe it’s time for Stalock? 👏🏼
Spec Smith is their only hope
Spec Jeez that's the article? I was waiting for you talk about the bloody game at some point...and for some reason poor JoaquinGage31 keeps getting dragged into everybody's goalie nightmare story..
Spec “Paging Alex Stalock to the crease. Alex Stalock to the crease for at least ONE game before the playoffs”.
