If you don't think the play of Skinner is affecting the rest of the team and how they're playing, I question if you've ever played sports. When you KNOW, deep down, that you have such a massive, massive weak hole on your team it absolutely affects the team and how they play.

It’s so f***ing deflating. They NEED to get a #1 goalie in the offseason.

Need to have one of the great 3rd periods we’ve had all year. Still a very winnable game with a fresh sheet of ice and a rested PP

More shots please.

PP to start 3rd. Get it back.

Zadorov with a perfect shot over the worst stick in hockey Ceci. Skinner caught sleeping at his post not expecting a shot of that quality.
At some point you gotta score 5on5 though, not getting a PP in OT if you get there. Mcdrai loaded up because drai is hurt or the coach is trying to lean on a crutch but no chance anyone else is going to do anything now.

I didn't mind our chances at 2-2 if we could survive the long change period but of course goalie let's in bullshit.

Mcdavid is an absolute f***ing clown not taking that backhand shot. He's not the reason we're losing but you need to get your head out of your ass. It's round 2, get your shit together and try to bang away some goals.

This roster with an actual goalie and an upgrade on the Ceci - Nurse is a contender. What we have is a team good enough to win against LA and then get on the struggle bus when a team doesn’t play 1-3-1 against them.

Maybe Skinner is so calm because he's hopped up on ativan? Jesus I've never seen a goalie so consistently unprepared for shots throughout at game. It's over for him; you can't be a started with a head like that.

Team finds new and exciting ways to humiliate its fanbase each year. The nonstarter garbage playoffs vs Hawks and Jets, getting swept by the Avs (at least they're good), shitting the bed against Vegas and now looking at one period away from going down 0-2 vs the luckiest bullshit team of all time with the most toxic fanbase in existence

JFC f*** this team

They really aren't much different than the Leafs other than getting past a few rounds here and there. Have had some good reg seasons but this team isn't going anywhere with goaltending like this. Sorry to say but the stars and avs will torch Skinner. Even if they win this series, just can't see doing anything in the 3rd round.

It's better than all the years of no playoffs but man they are going nowhere with Skinner.

It's just a weird game. Weird structure. Weird pace. Weird situations. Weird reffing. First game was also kind of an odd one. Don't know why it is but it's not really beneficial for the Oilers.

Also some of the forwards outside of McDrai needs to start showing at least a little bit of life offensively.

Hey Holland thanks for getting players like lindholm and Zadorov on the team this year. Makes perfect sense why you're the highest paid gm of all time.

1 goal from him in the playoffs. Terrible

PAGING CAREER PASSENGER NUGENT HOPKINS, KANE, PERRY, FOEGELE, MCLEOD. WHY DO WE CONTINUE HAVING THE WORST FWD DEPTH IN THE LEAGUE YEAR AFTER YEAR. TIME FOR ONE OF YOU BUMS TO HAVE SOME PRIDE AND PROVIDE THIS TEAM WITH SOME OFFENSE INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR MCDRAI TO DO EVERYTHING LIKE USUAL

Too many coaching errors handcuffing the team.
Sticking Janmark with McDavid in game one.
Not playing Stecher.
Not pulling Skinner.

Just never f***ing learn, these assholes. They had everything in hand and then quit f***ing playing 2/3rds of the way in the second for the first game. They put themselves in the jackpot. Always shooting themselves in the foot.

And now they're down because Skinner can't hug a god damn post. They have no one else to blame but themselves for this shit. FFS this god damn team man..
They have 21 shots in the last 4 periods.
Skinner has allowed 6 on his last 23.
Silovs gave up bad goals last game too. The Nucks didn’t lie down and die. Oilers need to respond. It’s a 1 goal lead. Shit happens but keep it in perspective.
i am keeping in perspective boys have been mostly a no show top to bottom 2 games now.
