As bad as Skinner was, it's tough on a goalie when you have 2 competent defenseman and 1 one of them is a 4th forward.

they were getting good looks and those were some really nice shots - several were perfect, just over the pads and under the blocker/glove. i think folks are overreacting. he's def not the guy i'd want to pin your hopes to but he's a good goalie. hell, he came within 1 goal of taking the cup from us.

2 goals away, but I get your point.

And that's the difference. Bob allowed one less goal

I for one, love the entire NHL propping up the Oilers as Cup Champions without even giving us a thought.
I dont mind being left out. They will all be surprised once again

McDavid also with zeros across his stat line except a -2, how does he not even get one shot? No points going back to game 6. He's an amazing player and I'm not criticizing him specifically but this is why you need a team and not just a couple well paid superstars.

eh.

Had they scored the 2-1 goal, you can't say with certainty we would have been able to overcome that.
That’s still 2 goals - they score one and we don’t score one…

Just gotta say I love Nucks goal song

Just saying. How about 10-15 seconds of that after we score?

JLD needs to get heart meds ready before reading the next line.

Hubie scored in Calgary’s come from behind OT win.

That was a wild game. Vancouver needs Demko back badly... Silovs played commendably in the postseason when Vancouver was going all out defensively, but he was not adequate last night.

Connor Zary continues to impress me, one of the best young players in the league by a wide margin.

He should try yelling at himself

Bob let in 17 goals in the final. Skinner let in 16 goals. So Skinner actually allowed one less goal.

Skinner isn't elite, but he's no AHL scrub either. If he goes on a run, the Oilers stand a good chance of winning the cup. And he's good enough to do that.

Even crazier was bob only let in 2 goals in 3 of the 7 games, what a meltdown we had. Glad we finished it
