meh. Not frustrated. I'm enjoying seeing a young elite goalie in action. Oilers did everything they could in that period to tie it up and no lack of effort. Askarov putting on a sublime clinic and showing us what fundamentally sharp form, flexibility, splits etc looks like. Fantastic goaltending. Something people don't hear me say here on the board lately. We haven't had this since Cujo.

Oilers I suspect still win because SJ are brutal defending leads and they were just hanging on. Pickard has made some stops to just keep it a one goal game.

Askarov. What a real star goalie prospect looks like. When was the last time Skinner was at this level in any game ? 😆. Simply not athletic or good enough.
Bang. Wonderful looking goalie. have we stopped being a fanbase can just appreciate things like that? When we had Cujo he would steal 20-30 games a year. Its what ringers do and goaltending is such a huge part of hockey.

Watch the pad positioning alone. When Askarov is down he can flex stretch pads from post to post. Skinner would snap his back trying to do that and leaves 2ft, an absolute joke when it comes to flexibility. The only thing is I'd want Skinner being in net being embarrased by the form of Askarov. I'm sure its not escaping the Oilers either that they never have this in their net.
