They also play better defense than this team against better players. Even if we make it through we are getting swept in the WCF.

I don't care if you think they do. The scoring chances are happening at alarming rates in some of those games and the goalies are still finding ways to make saves.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Comically delusional take.

Its Keith.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Nope. That’s how hockey works.

And your reply is how homerism works.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

2 of those goals were due to horrendous giveaways/defensive breakdowns.

You need your goalie to bail you out sometimes and make a save.

Both are true here

 

[Sanchez]

Lindholm comfirmed tipped in first goal

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Put Pickard in and try and salvage this game. If he’s solid then start him next game. If not go back to skinner.

 

[Pavel10]

I think the Canucks have a plan for Stu.

Yes. Wait 2 seconds til he goes down and shoot where he isn't.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This is the problem, isn't it? They've looked flat the majority of the last 4 games, I've never seen an Oiler playoff team so complacent for so many long stretches. In some ways, this feels like the worst Oilers playoff team since the bubble. I'm just not feeling it with this group.

They scored first then went to sleep for half a period.

 

[McTedi]

Skinner supporters and haters can all agree on this -

Start CP for the second

Yup let Skinner regroup, need some saves.

 

[Mr Positive]

Oilers left Boeser alone with the goalie on one and Foegele, who shouldn’t even be on this team, gave them a lay up on another. Skinner always gets better as the game goes on.

Maybe we should go to a strat of going with Pickard in the 1st period and Skinner for the rest of the night.

 

[elmeroil]

I don't disagree - pull him
Just the he sucks always sucked same shit all the time
F ing grow up

Stu got us here. And I'm a big supporter of Pickard. I think he would have too. Campbell? Not a chance

Come on man, Stu got us here? Nope, Mcdavid Drai Hyman Bouch Ekholm and the list goes on. Stu mostly benefited from good D and perimeter shots. Stu did not get them here, you say that about a goalie that stands on his head night in and night out, not Stuart Skinner.

 

[scotchtapejr]

This is why you don't forgive Stuart Skinner after bounce back games

 

[Drivesaitl]

How are there any defenders of Skinner left? Mediocre first GA gave the Cucks all of the momentum back

They play like they’re scared of any shot going in.

Make a f***ing goalie change

I was wondering the same. Thank you for this post.

 

[BlackDogg]

I guess Skinner isn't your Binnington Ken.


Id like to pass along a special FU to management.

 

[foshizzle]

I mean yeah. It's about as high danger as it gets, with as much time and space as a breakaway.

Should have gotten his body infront of the first but that defending was f***ing ass by McDavid and Ek, just easier to not blame them.

This is the playoffs. Your goalie needs to make high danger saves. In fact an average goalie saves about 85% of high danger chances on net. Sorry. He isn’t a playoff calibre goalie

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Stroking Vancouver's shaft. Might as well keep the cameras on their arena.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Yes. Wait 2 seconds til he goes down and shoot where he isn't.

Yeah even the dummies at sportsnet saying he goes down too early

im defending Skinner cause I think Knob going with Pickard ain't gonna happen

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Speaking in absolutes is nonsense. Of course they don’t need to play perfect defense lol. Do you think they played even half decent defense that period?

It is nonsense! Also only a sith deals in absolutes.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Let's complain about something other than Skinner. He's not the only reason we are down.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

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.

Shocked. Stunned to see the Canucks run the Oilers show physically. Never thought I'd see that. Then to leave a soft finesse guy have acres of high danger ice without impunity is a recipe for failure. This team needs a lot more push back. Passive start and picked apart with help from abysmal team defending and a weak goaltender.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I don't care if you think they do. The scoring chances are happening at alarming rates in some of those games and the goalies are still finding ways to make saves.

If McDavid had the chances Boeser did the game would be tied.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Yep. The team is here despite Stu Skinner. He almost caved the season in first month.

 

[foshizzle]

It isn’t. Skinner is his ride or die.

Which is all I was trying to say lol.
