Goalies actually are pretty terrible in the league nowadays overall. A lot of good teams think they can run with a bum in goal but find out every year they can't.
Draisaitl will have to dive more thenThrough 2 games, Skinner's save % is .857, and that's against the lowest scoring team in the Western Conference play-off bracket. That has to be a huge concern for the Oilers if they expect to make it even past the 2nd round. The Oilers could make the finals even with average goaltending, but .850 goaltending is something even McDavid can't overcome.
The sickest thing is you can post any stat from this year or last year's playoffs and you'll still have at least half the Oiler fans defending that bum. "But he's still developing!". "Come on, the defence is hanging him out to dry!". "Those were all perfect shots!!". It never gets old. A broken record.Through 2 games, Skinner's save % is .857, and that's against the lowest scoring team in the Western Conference play-off bracket.

Not a whole lot better. Skinner tonight - .808. DeSmith last night - .800No excuses, you guys have Skinner who is still better than De5smith who leaves half the net empty lol. Canucks give up only 15 shots to Nashville the whole game and still he gets scored on 3 times
what a humble kid, downplaying a clearly intentional passByfield confirms he was just trying to prevent the icing.
Problem is that there is barely any good goalies in the NHL. There is no Luongo, no Lundkvist, no Roy, no Brodeur, no Belfour or Hasek. The good goalies that are playing like Helleybuck or Demko arent workhorses like the names i mentioned. Loungo would play 70 games in regular season and all of the playoff games every year while Demko is injured every yearGoalies actually are pretty terrible in the league nowadays overall.

The Kings best chance to win this series is just to shoot everything at Stuart Skinner
He was pulled like 4+ times last playoffs - he hasn't just magically figured it out
Oooooohweeee going to be some coping tonight in Edmonton.
or should I say koping
I don't know about that. He was facing the bench and had an Oiler all over him. He may've not even known that Kopitar was there.what a humble kid, downplaying a clearly intentional pass
And enter the zone and dump the puck on Darnell Nurses side of the ice
Kings have better offense than Nashville. Also look at the goals Nashville scored like a rebound on a half empty net due to DeSmith poor positioning or a slow moving puck that was deflected but was still going 5 mph into a half empty bet because DeSmith was too overcommited looking at anotger direction.Not a whole lot better.

CONSPIRACY INTENSIFIES
QUINTON WAS THE SECOND SHOOTER ON THE GRASSY KNOLL
Spoken like someone who doesn't pay attention to Kings Oilers series. This is going to be a back and forth grind, not one team in control.
