How dare he be 11-2 on the for after that, especially when anything over 50% means you're having a good day
Skinner stops a puck that 90% of nhl goaltender would stop and no one even notices that he lost that draw.
Skinner needs to make that save. But the line of mistakes begins with Stetcher's bad penalty, a clean face-off loss (even though Nugent Hopkins was 86.7% in the dot), missed assignment by Henrique (normally very detailed guy), and ending with Skinner beaten from range on a clean look.
The Oilers played a great road game up until that late second period bad penalty and the sequence of mistakes that followed. The Oilers failing to convert zone domination, PP opportunities, and Stack 5 deployment to break the goose egg prior is the big picture here. The PP is beyond ice-cold and the top heavy Line 1 is not cashing EV.
Still lots of positives in this game. The abnormal low shooting percentage that cuts across this whole team will start moving X Goals back to actual production results. But it's time to shake up the dormant power play and ideally go back to this team's strength of deep, balanced lines instead of all eggs in one basket.
