Stuart Skinner worst playoff sv% since Cloutier.

[Canovin]

Sounds like you got a lot of respect in the handshake line

Thank you to the guy from the outside looking in. How's the leafs doing?

Oilers would be up 3-0 in the series if they had a Silovs in net.

Oilers are being manhandled and had nothing beyond McDrai, I dont believe they will be close to 3-0 with our third stringer.

You’re wrong.

Of course they would, Tolopilo is not ready for NHL playoff hockey!

Not sure about 3-0, probably 2-1, but they are down 2-1 so they have to find a way to win tonight.

You’re wrong.

I see not a lot of response after McDavid got smashed in the face.

Oilers are soft as butter it isn't just goaltending. It is easy to just blame the goaltending. Oilers D are being abused around their own net.

Numbers don’t lie.

Well that was after the game. If they want to respond, they should win the game tonight. That is what matters.

When you’re losing 1 goal games with a sub 800% goalie it’s safe to say you’d have a different fate with a good goalie

The blame is on the PDO fraud Canucks for not shooting more to help Skinner's stats.

Being a leafs fan you do know what soft as butter looks like - and I don't disagree.

Hopefully having Pickard in net will make them want to be a little tighter in their own zone

Canucks goals haven't really been more mad scrambles in front though, mostly beating Skinner pretty clean

Or even an average one

Numbers don’t lie.

You are what the numbers say you are

except visually the goals make me want to barf. The game 1 winner was seriously something else

 

[Breakers]

MAN…… did Vancouver collapse after Cloutier let in 2 goals from center ice

I think they had a series lead

But those goals just decimated them

I believe they were both by Lidstrom

 

[Perfect_Drug]

It's not like the coach can throw the skaters playing bad defense infront of the goalie under the bus.

Goalies can be replaced, but you don't have 10 other players you can dress.

Everyone has thoroughly debunked this claim with statistics, yet you keep repeating it again and again and again hoping to gaslight everyone into believing you.

The Oilers are not giving up a notorious amount of high danger chances these playoffs. They are giving up very few, and every single one they give up is in the back of the net because the goalie is incapable of making a single high danger save.

If there were 10 breakaways, the average NHL goalie should be able to stop around 50%.
Skinner would let all 10 in right now.

 

[RobertKron]

this likely leads to another overreaction from the GM for a goalie.

They overpay for a non playoff goalie like Ullmark?
They overpay Brossoit in FA?
something else?

Maybe they’ll buy out Campbell and then sign Campbell.

 

[Hoglander]

Oilers would be up 3-0 in the series if they had a Silovs in net.

You mean, in an alternate reality where the Oilers had a different roster? One where they had drafted and developed better, so they had the depth to deal with injuries and/or underperforming players?

If only Pettersson wasn't in a funk, or maybe if Mikheyev hadn't forgotten how to score, or if Demko wasn't injured, or if... Canucks could make the same excuses too.
The reality is that your favorite team made poor roster moves and now have to live with the consequences. Their goaltenders and depth beyond the 5 members that make up their PP1 unit, are passable during the regular season, but get exposed in the playoffs.

Okie dokie. Oilers play great team defense, you believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want, the Canucks are just PDO frauds.

I see not a lot of response after McDavid got smashed in the face.

That was the most shocking thing to me about all of that. Any other team in the playoffs and that would have been all out mayhem if their leader and best player got jumped like that after the game. The Oilers did nothing. Are they not a tight group or what?

This series has been interesting to watch. I see an Oilers club that has one line they go with for 50% of the game and then throw out the rest for scraps. I don't see a team. I see 3 players and a bunch of bus riders. Vancouver on the other hand, I see a team. A group willing to go to war with and for each other.

I’d imagine the team was following their well-established game plan: they were all waiting for McDavid or Draisaitl to take care of it.

Oilers would be up 3-0 in the series if they had a Silovs in net.

If they had any of the remaining goalies in net not named Skinner. Can't expect to win anything when your starter is getting outplayed by third string goalies in consecutive years.

For real, when McDavid gets hit like that you gotta take off your skate and try to stab someone

Insane that they didn’t go ape

I hate to say it as an Oiler fan but if Demko was in net we'd be down 3-0. Silovs wasn't great in games 1-2 but was still better then Skinner.
