Well so far the team who led going into the third has lost.
It suits Oilers pretty well to chase, while the other team gets worried and too layed back.
They can obviously score 2 here.

So back at the start of the year when we desperately needed to trade for a goalie, Holland was hesitant because he didn’t want to spend assets that he felt he would need at the deadline. So instead he used those assets on two guys sitting in the press box and one sitting out injured.

It has to be Pickard, you can't waste another playoffs like this especially against a very beatable team. I know Skinner had a solid regular season but he clearly can't handle playoff hockey mentally, it's a growing sample size. Not making a change would be insanity.
Go back and watch the goals....Lindholm walked untouched between our two dmen. Boesers 2 of 3 were huge defensive giveaways and thebither wqs a pp

We knew this Oilers bottom 6 isn't good enough.. it was always going to be the big Oilers guns having to carry the team... and the hope was then that the defense and goaltending could be at least average... which it really hasn't been.

Compare the Nurse or Ekholm crosscheck to the one Janmark took exiting the zone earlier in the period.
Even the crosscheck on Mcdavid as he went for the loose puck was worse than those two.. Guys need to rubber leg like the canucks do since the refs eat that crap up

Think about how much confidence you have shooting on whatever Skinner-equivalent is in your beer league. That's how every Canuck feels right now. You don't have to outplay or outchance the other team, just throw garbage on net and you'll look like Pavel Bure.

But it's okay we'll go to the playoff-caliber backup Holland acquired for the third, since it was obviously a huge issue.

Oh, right.

Anyone defending Holland is an abject moron.
