It's amazing to think how close the Oilers got without what some would qualify as an NHL goalie
I think Stu is at least an average NHL starter but not tonight. The real issue is no commitment to defense as a 5 man unit, expecting the goalie to stand on his head when they constantly get caught up ice or blow plays.

And yeah, mistakes happen but should we expect the goalie to bail out so many every period?

I hope Pickard steals the net for the first 15 games. We can't go through this sht again. When Skinner is off, he's the worst starting goalie in the league. It always takes him time to get momentum, but we can ill afford to wait for him to find his game again

You're up comrade

We have a pretty easy schedule month 1. I can still see us screwing it up though

I don't think 1.46 expected goals counts as needing the goalie to stand on his head....
