Pre-Game Talk: Game 3; The Stuart Skinner Shutout Show (with exciting new Pole!)

What is the most surprising so far in these playoffs?

  • Oilers ability to bounce back after a loss

  • Oilers 5v5 dominance

  • Oilers team defense

  • Oilers coughing up leads

  • Oilers poor special teams play

  • The play of Walman and Klingberg

  • McDavid and Draisaitl below expected points per game

  • Oilers depth scoring

  • Stuart Skinners up and down results

With respect to the question on the poll - didn't expect the 5v5 to be this good and don't expect the PK to be this bad. Granted in hindsight it sorta makes sense, McLeod, Foegle, and Ceci were all pretty important pieces on the PK and so was Broberg as the playoffs went on last year.

Sure, but they weren't great 5v5, they also got more saves on the PK last year. Plus Ceci is brutal, just so brutal. The Oilers upgraded from Ceci to Walman, and they're dramatically better for it.

Off topic, but Ryan Rishaug is such a simpleton pos

After the Nurse slash, social media took it's turn and had varying opinions on the play. Obviously Stars fans and media wanting a Nurse suspension. And Oiler fans and media saying Hintz was acting a little, and the slash wasn't with such ill intent, hence the minor was the right call (whether or not they believe it is irrelevant, they stuck up for their player). Even Mark Spector is sticking up for Darnell

Then that pos that thinks he's a representative for the oiler fanbase, Ryan Rishaug, tweet "That's a penalty Nurse cannot take. Ill advised stick from a veteran player". What a Judas, Hintz was crosschecking Nurse's spine. He's the only Edmonton media member that didn't take Nurse's side
Ever since he publicized McDavid's injury in the 2023 playoffs, when the whole team was trying to hide it, just for likes on social media, he's a cockroach, fake fan, self-proclaimed master of the universe with the IQ of a fruit fly. I'd like to see him take a crosscheck to the spine, give him some perspective

What if I had told you before the playoffs started that Skinner would have 3 shutouts and the save of the playoffs?
