Not my fault Skinner
I forgot he never has to make a save, his team has to bail him out

Desharnais needs to hit the IR. Leafs knew he couldn't be aggressive with his injury and it showed. He does not have the talent to play through injury.

Yeah but stus a “battler”. Just “sticking with it” so he doesn’t let up the 3rd goal in 10 shots
There was no reason to play. Bonehead decision by the coach/mgmt

Exactly. It was a bang bang play that he or any other goalie would have had no chance on. The only way he stops it, is if it hits him, which is likely what the Oilers would do if they were the ones shooting it. Have no idea what the hell Desharnais was doing on that.

I’m not a big fan of Skinner. I’ve called him out plenty. But there’s a set of realistic expectations we should have for which pucks need to get stopped. That was a bang bang pass and shoot from a really good spot. It probably goes in seven times out of ten regardless of who is in goal.
Its become stale as their always looking for either Draisaitl or Bouchard and Hyman on a rebound/tip, McDavid and Nuge are not much of a threat for a shot. Their puck recovery is decent with the play back to the point to Bouchard or Nuge which is a shame, as when they get it back their intentions are very clear that teams box out their options and they fail to move the puck quickly to try and move the PKers out of position. Seams to be relying on the past performance that they to don't need to innovate,

I think before yesterday he had a.940 save percentage over the past seven games

You thrust your pelvis, huh!
I don’t know how anyone watching yesterday’s game could say the Oilers played a strong game. The first three goals were scored by players with no defenders near them.

Yah, but why talk about the previous 7 games when you can focus on only one game in that time frame? Just doesn't make sense.

Rodriguez will not pass waivers and we still got Campbell. Pickard staying past this season is very unlikely.

At this point, I'm sure Pickard is absolutely thrilled to death with any and all chances he is getting this year. Probably more than at any other time during the last 9 years of his lengthy but sporadic NHL career. But, yes, unless something happens with 2 others, very unlikely he's here.
Why wouldn't Rodriguez pass through waivers? He has 0 NHL games, and isn't some blue chip prospect...
Not saying we should keep Pickard, but I think we are overvaluing how good Rodriguez is.

We may very well be, but if you get a chance to pick up a young goalie for nothing but a waiver fee, who has been trending up the last couple seasons, I'm sure there would be plenty of interest in him to take a flyer.
At this point I'd rather see Rodrigue Sr. come up and Schwartz being sent packing with out being able to take the stapler from his office.

Let's see what ya got Oilers. Embarrassed last night coast to coast to coast. Short turnaround to reset a trainwreck team defending 'effort' and predictable power play and substandard EV play. Let's see what ya got.

Any word on whether he’s sticking with the stupid lines they had yesterday?

I'd give Holloway, Gagner and Broberg a few games before the playoffs. Ol' man Perry needs a rest. Kane should sit a game or two but that won't happen. A bit of game management, competition and rotation. Get everyone sharp. Pickard should be the starter today.
Edit: even if they remain a Black Ace, good to get a couple of games in

There was far too much of that against the Leafs.
I thought that Perry might have been the best forward in last nights game.
He is getting better as the season rolls along which really isnt a surprise when you consider that the has only played 40 games (in total) so far this season.
I would leave Perry in the lineup.

He might be inconsistent but he's also been very good for them too. Saying stuff like this is just ridiculous.
