This thread will outlive the NHL.

Fire him all you want but Pikard has been great. Skinner regardless of the goalie coach is not a starter.

He's gotta have a video of Katz doing something bad!

Pickard generally faces weaker teams.

Goaltending has been an issue for a while.

whatever katz was doing bad, i promise you it was worse once schwartz chimed in with some tips

Sanford has done an admirable job in Toronto. Schwartz was hired with zero professional experience. Didn't have to pay his dues, didnt play professionally, never coached professionally- and he got the gig. He has since survived multiple coaches and GMs. How is this freaking possible?

This might end up one of the greatest mysteries of the Edmonton Oilers franchise.

I'm not sure Toronto is the franchise we want to emulate.

I’m speaking specifically about goaltending

Politicians don't have the job security this guy does. The fact he gets no attention from the Oilers media is downright embarrassing. But I wouldn't expect much from the mouthpieces of the team. How he has outlived multiple coaches and GMs is utterly baffling.

 

[Da McBomb]

Isn't this guy's significant other related to someone in management or something like that?

It's fairly obvious there is some kind of order from higher ups that Schwartz and Skinner and not allowed to be discussed whatsoever.

The media gets hilariously bent out of shape and immediately tries to halt any conversation when either one is brought up.

It remains baffling that its on the goaltending coach under whose tutelage that a mid 3rd round draft pick, with extreme , extreme limited athleticism, who was a finalist for the rookie of the year & who took the team to game 7 of the Stanley Cup final, is at fault for said goalie been what he is.
Btw, career AHL'r /marginal NHL backup has had really good numbers under this horror of a goalie coach.
Not saying he is good/bad or indifferent at his job, just find it comical that its so clearly on him Skinner isnt better.

He was also the one that scouted Jack Campbell, and goalies have regressed under his watch. Mike Smith basically told him to go pound sand.

Well,I would have to guess there were others thar were involved in the Campbell decision. (you might have inside info, not sure. You seem to be in the know). I seem to recall alot here pumped, pining for husso, Mrazek, Grubauer ...etc. Heck, you mighta been one
Its kinda fun to remember facts.
And goalies have regressed???. Except for our 2 goalies. Reading stats is hard.
Too funny

 

[McAsuno]

f*** this buffoon

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

Absolute single worst Oilers employee of all time. And this includes Peter Chiarelli and Dallas Eakins.

 

[VeteranPresence]

The org is just asking for embarrassments like tonight with each and every day they let this shmuck keep his job. Can just one member of the media find their cajones and ask even a single question about it, please? Why are they all so spineless?

 

[Shizuka]

I remember calling out this asshole last year... only to have someone white knight him. FFS.. still hanging around collecting a cheque. Like I said man, Oilers firmly remain a bush league run front office in many aspects as evidenced by their incompetence in roster building / prospect development, IN SPITE of having two of the best players on the bloody planet for a decade +. Unreal.. but completely unsuprising.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Firing him is needed, too late for this year
