And we had them completely on the ropes, even without our star goalie.

Flash-back to period one of Game 6... its a 1-1 game, we had just embarrassed the Oilers in Game 5, and we get a 4 min double minor powerplay with McDavid in the box. The series is ours for the taking. Chance to score a goal, maybe two, and just put a dagger into the Oilers. Elimination game.

And we proceed to shit the bed, not manage a single real scoring chance, and lose the game in convincing fashion..

That failed powerplay was when we lost the series right there.
Yup, coulda, woulda and shloulda….

I gotta say it's annoying to watch skinner make mostly average saves and have to listen to Simpson absolutely fellate him.
He didn’t look good the last two games against van either. just a guy hanging in there.

This oilers team is genuinely just really good that they mostly mask his issues

Give the Oilers ton of credit for their PK though. Very impressive that they can be so aggressive but not open up many holes.

Man I wish we had just one more offensive guy last round. Some east west movement and Skinner falls every f***ing time.

Very impressed by Robertson, it seems like so many chances funnel through him. And he's a lot more aware in his own zone to boot.
