And this is why I say there is no point being arrogant before the games.
We got owned from the start of 1st with Skinner leading the way

 

[DrDrai]

Silovs did something novel... actually tried to make a save. Lo and behold it worked.

Skinner should give it a try.

Our sack of shit goalie is getting outplayed by the Canucks 3rd stringer lmao and has every game so far.

I’m gonna tell you right now, and I’ve said this for the last 3 years.

If we NEED a shutout in most games to win in the playoffs then just turn off the TV. Our offence is non existent and our defence isn’t good enough.

Because right now we have 1 goal, and it’s because of the PP.

 

[nabob]

Most goals in the NHL are due to defensive breakdowns.

Difference is, some goalies dont put up 88% save percentages cause they arent awful.

Skinner probably thinks he was good that period.

Most goals are not due to defensive breakdowns on the level of the 2nd goal lol. But sure continue to give the other 18 guys on the ice a completely free pass.

 

[guymez]

Silovs has been very lucky so far. Shots are beating him but not beating the post.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Even a momentum shifting goalie pull would be useful... it's not an insult for a goalie to get pulled,.. you aren't going to "destroy" Skinner.

Pickard deserves a look because Skinner hasn't been spectacular.

Stecher and Pickard in.. and I'm going to say this would likely be a tie game right now.

 

[GOilers88]

3 goals on 9 shots how hard is it to do math when you have a phone?

Canucks have 11 shots?

 

[McDrailers]

You guys remember when we used to lose our shit over Mike Smith? Good times eh.

 

[Echodek]

Oilers take the lead.

Skinner: Hold my beer

 

[TheNumber4]

Not focusing on our details. Playing dumb in front of the home crowd and not handling the moment.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

What goalie can stop a sniper like Boeser all alone like that?

Many? You know boeser would not score 100 percent of the time from there… right? Goalies make saves in high danger areas often. Oil are getting zero saves

 

[LTIR]

Break up the top line.

Top line is the Holloway line... all others are pretenders.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Make a f***ing save Bouchard!

evenly matched clubs, even with the bad goaltending, if you don't think Bouchard turning it up ten decibels wouldn't make the difference you got the brain virus

 

[Tobias Kahun]

The Oilers cant come back next year with Skinner as a goalie.

After watching him continually turn into a dud in the playoffs is a sign they dont care if they think they should run it back with him.

 

[RegDunlop]

I wish I could laugh at the clowns who got defensive on here when we rightly criticized Skinner for much of the season...but I just wish they had their internet revoked for validating the idiotic decision to stay the course with such a middling goalie.

Yeah disregard that he got us here.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Be nice if the goalie could stop f***ing something

 

[nabob]

Canucks have 11 shots?

Facts don’t actually matter. It’s skinners fault that they have 11 shots!

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Did you just see what Silovs did when his team had a defensive breakdown?

Made a save.

I think that's an unfair characterization lol. He made 1 save. Got lucky 3 times lol.

 

[McRpro]

Can't write up a worst imaginable start. Win a huge momentum swing game 2 then completely go flaccid to in front of a jacked up home crowd. Oil are the team and players who were supposed to be steeled in playoff experience but have unravelled in their own zone protecting of a weak link goaltender. Stunned.

You're stunned? It's been this teams calling card for years now.

 

[BlackDogg]

Gotta go with Pickard and hope this doesn't end up 5-1 soon

 

[bobbythebrain]

Did you just see what Silovs did when his team had a defensive breakdown?

Made a save.

You realize if Boeser shot on him, it wouldn't have been

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Stu can't handle the pressure

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Can't blame Skinner for any of those goals. That's entirely on defensive bad plays.

I get what your saying but watching other series I see teams make bad turnovers and their goalies bail them out. You are holding your breath every time the puck is put on goal with Skinner. If only for a potential change in momentum you pull him, hell Boston pulled Swayman in game 3 and you could argue to that point he was the best goalie in the playoffs.

 

[CupofOil]

And this is why I say there is no point being arrogant before the games.
We got owned from the start of 1st with Skinner leading the way

What does fan arrogance have to do with team incompetence?

 

[Mr Positive]

There's time for the Oilers and Skinner to salvage the night.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

I wouldn't mind a hot bowl of soup, I am tired of the cold stew.
