[lopper]

Maybe just maybe try something different and perhaps start Pickard in the second??

 

[GhostfaceWu]

I didn't say it was better. It's very simple math.

Almost as simple as seeing when the post was made.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

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.

Vinny was as much of a threat to score as you were.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Foegele is possibly the dumbest player I've ever seen on the Oilers. He makes me scratch my head even more than Ceci and Nurse.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

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.

We made Boeser look like Gretzky. Doesn't get more embarrassing than that.

This defense needs a serious retool in the off season even if we miraculously win this series.

 

[MoontoScott]

Some brutal giveaways but some "improbable" saves might have been nice.

 

[russ99]

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

Made a save.

Skinner has done that as well, and in this series too. Defense is a team concept not expect the goalie to stand on his head all game every game.

I’d bring in Pickard, to send the team a message and keep Skinner from a tailspin.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

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

The whole team needs to turn it up to 11. They looked flat.

 

[North Cole]

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.

Yeah the Canucks defense did something novel too, throw their bodies and sticks into the net.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Yeah disregard that he got us here.

Wow........

 

[guymez]

Why was Vancouver more prepared to play from the opening faceoff than the Oilers were?
No excuse for that.

 

[iCanada]

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.

I wish Skinner was at .88 tonight. JFC.

Game is basically totally even but Skinner is absolute f***ing garbage.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

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

That’s debatable.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Canucks have 11 shots?

Are you slow? It's almost like my post was made at the time of the goal when the Canucks had 9 shots.

 

[Vagabond]

Foegele is possibly the dumbest player I've ever seen on the Oilers. He makes me scratch my head even more than Ceci and Nurse.

It's a toss up competition between him and Nurse.

 

[oil Leaks]

Foegele stinks
Skinner stinks

 

[frag2]

Foegele is possibly the dumbest player I've ever seen on the Oilers. He makes me scratch my head even more than Ceci and Nurse.

Him and McLeod are the forward versions of Nurse and Ceci on our team

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Ekholm has more goals this playoffs than everyone not named Draisatl and Hyman.

Pathetic depth yet again.

 

[RegDunlop]

Wow........

Wow what?
Pretty f ing easy to keep blaming the goalie

Wow

 

[TheNumber4]

Nice f***in pass Foegele. Another player who’s game goes to mush in big games.

 

[MoontoScott]

Why was Vancouver more prepared to play from the opening faceoff than the Oilers were?
No excuse for that.

Mom's loved them more.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Canucks aren't a very good team, what they do have is players that actually battle and work hard. We have a lot of floaters that randomly fade in and out of consciousness in the D zone.

There insanely well coached, Tocchet might be the best coach in the NHL

 

[Spawn]

Also everyone can cry about reffing all you want, but we gotta start f***ing producing 5on5. We are f***ing pathetic in that department.

Of the teams left in the playoffs, only Colorado has scored at a better rate at 5v5 so far through the first 1.5 rounds.

 

[Ninety7]

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.

And most teams don’t need to play perfect defense to win games.

any defensive mistake is in the back of our net. Not conducive to success

 

[LTIR]

What does fan arrogance have to do with team incompetence?

Not much other than increasing the toxity here on boards...
Ooh yeh we are steam rolling you.. Hopefully u enjoyed your last win already blah blah..

We should know how our team can just fold.
