I dont get this. There isnt much to like about Nurse.I agree it’s the easy move for sure. It’s more pie in the sky hopes and dreams. I like nurse overall. Just the contract is an anchor and prevents us from filling holes and rounding out the team
Idk how anyone can defend skinner, he was atrocious tonight. he literally cost Edmonton the game.

The Oilers played one good period and decided that was enough. They might as well have not even come out after the second.Yes we will keep blaming the goalie when there are 5 goals a game against.
Did you see the oilers pp tonight? Talbot stood on his head. Didn't matter they were getting shots through the pk and the "defense". Make a f***ing save once in a while.
Yeah I agree. I put that on woodcroft and he deserved to be fired after Campbell won us a game skinner would have cost us.
I was never a fan of his. I’ll congratulate him when he does have a good game but I don’t trust or believe in him as “the guy”. Again tonight, that Doughty dribbler on the breakaway should not have gone through him. I didn’t see goal #4. That breakaway goal and the save Talbot made off Drai in the second were the difference between a 2-0 lead and going to LA 1-1, where we know Bettman will be sending his worst officials. If Trevor Hansen, Chris Schlenker, Jon McIsaac or St. Laurent are called to do any of these games, the fix is definitely trying to be put in.Skinners time is done in Edmonton. Only a matter of time before he starts getting booed during games instead of Stuuu.
All the haters were right, he is a piece of shit and needs to be publicly flogged for costing us 2 f***ing cups!
Skinner needs to be better. The whole D should be more tight and not allow so many high quality chances.
That first goal is on foegele, Bouchard gets it out to foegele and instead of grabbing it, he just flys the zone.Yup...too many soft plays in their own zone. That butter soft play by Bouchard on the Kings first goal was inexcusable.
Feels like a ballsy move that Knob could make though! Look at Boston, rotating is working for them and Skinner isn't built for this much action.Pickard starting would be one ballsy ass move, I highly doubt we see him without a drastic lead or a drastic failure
If you think players aren't bothered by bad games, especially in the playoffs...really?
I'm not worried about this series, but the Oilers aren't winning the WC let alone the cup if they get goaltending like that.I see lots of Skinner blame after this one. He needs to be better, but I don’t think it’s fully justified. Only bad goal was Fiala’s
Kings had every bounce tonight and capitalized. When we were on, we dominated
Not worried. Flush it. Move on to Friday
They didn’t bother showing up until they were losing. No killer instinct whatsoever. Night and day from game one.Pisses me off because this game was imminently winnable. Oilers had vast margin in play, Oilers had great movement and chances on PP, we outchanced Kings by Miles and Skinner says hold my beer.
f***!. Now its a 6 or 7 game series again.
Thats not winning you a cup. Trotting out guys like Ceci, Nurse, Skinner in a winner take all situation is a constant disaster waiting to happen. Your only as good as your weakest link.3-11 in OT in the McDavid era by the way. This team is shit in overtime.
Well...Bouchard cant make that play with the Kings player right there.I put that on 37 flying the zone

It's because the people on this board think the good teams play nothing but good 100% of the time and it isn't superior goaltending bailing em out or making big saves here and there.It's because this board is full of posters who handle goalies with kid gloves and think any play where any skater makes even a slight mistake means the goaltending holds no fault.
I said Oilers in 6, only because they take the Kings lightly every single yearPisses me off because this game was imminently winnable. Oilers had vast margin in play, Oilers had great movement and chances on PP, we outchanced Kings by Miles and Skinner says hold my beer.
f***!. Now its a 6 or 7 game series again.
If that trend continues, it'll even out as the series progresses. tbh, i want them to face adversity in the 1st round. If they just roll the kings in 4, it would set them up for a disappointing 2nd round, imo. They came back from 3-1 deficit in the 1st, and forced OT. It sounds silly, but losing game 2, in the order it happened, is a blessing in disguiseOilers all over the Kings, they get one f***ing chance and it goes in
