Worst Oiler goalie ever

[I am the Liquor]

Not his last year with oilers

He won best goalie in the league with the Oilers.

Stop pretending you know anything about Dave Dryden.

No love for JDD?

A lot of the guys mentioned here were barely cup of coffee type guys.

JDD played 48 games for us one year. The season we finished last in the league for the first time.

Scrivens truly was awful. The worst part was he got all pissy about it.

Yeahhh, but in that season there were only like two players who finished with over 40 points on the team.
Brule and Potulny were top sixers.

JDD actually wasn’t horrific, considering.

 

[Paralyzer]

Our worst goalie was Conklin and LaBarb...Essensa was good for us, I don't know what anyone here is talking about.

Ahh yes, Conklin...

I have a hard time criticizing this guy. The team couldn’t have screwed up his development anymore even if they tried to do it on purpose.

I wish we could have played Shane Corson in net for 1 game. Then there wouldn't even be a conversation since he was the worst everything in Oilers history that he did.

 

[Bangers]

The list of Oilers' crappy goalies is so long, the situation could almost be used as an insult.

"Yer gran/momma plays backup goalie for the Oilers!"

(And my vote goes to Pokey Reddick)

 

[oiler4ever]

90s - Reddick and Gage
2K - Conklin

 

[Cloned]

None of the goalies mentioned ever blew up at his own bench in the middle of a game like Fasth did.

 

[jukon]

How many goalies ended their career in Edmonton?

 

[Beerfish]

I think the curse on Tommy Salo affects every Swedish goalie here.

Tommy Salo was our best player for about two years. He fell of badly his last year but before that he was v ery good for this team.

 

[Austerlitz]

Ive never despised an Oiler goalie like I despised Conklin. Its one thing to be bad... but its another thing entirely to be bad AND entitled AND then go and hand away a game in the Stanley Cup Finals.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

How many goalies ended their career in Edmonton?

Probably as many as other teams, though I think the leafs and flyers own the title there

I mentioned it.
He's by far the worst "starting" goalie we've ever had.

Don't tap the glass.

 

[GOilers88]

Ahh yes, Conklin...

That was when I knew in my gut the Oilers weren't going to win the cup.

It was sad...

look into his eyes in that thumbnail, some serious life decisioned were being questioned in that moment.

He had a bad start to one season under terrible coaching. The team threw him under the bus, he was a good goalie before MacT-Eakins ruined him for a time. Prime chance after prime chance ruined him, there was a reason every other goalie sucked too under Eakins.

Not the worst Oil goalie obviously but that start for Dubnyk was atrocious. He single handedly destroyed any chance to win almost every night.

I still remember that shot from center in the one home opener, trouba should not beat you from center

Tommy Salo was our best player for about two years. He fell of badly his last year but before that he was v ery good for this team.

He never seemed to recover from that goal he let in against Belarus (I think that’s who it was). He became very susceptible to long shots from outside the blue line after that. It was a strange thing.

 

[gordonhught]

Ahh yes, Conklin...

I REMEMBER THIS. WHAT A BRUTAL GAME. OILERS WERE FIRMLY IN CONTROL EARLIER IN THE GAME.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Don't tap the glass.

Is this weak ass drive by shit the best you got?

Pffft.

Anybody old enough to have seen Skorodenski play knows it was him.

The game that stands out in my memory was a game against NJ (who they rarely lost to), but they went down 4-2 because Skorodenski was letting in every shot. He was replaced by Fuhr, and luckily because of Gretzky they came back and won the game.

And that was part of the reason Fuhr played 70+ games that season...
