Horrible defensive plays.....brutal.

Bad play by Bouch on the first goal. Whe is he going to learn?

Yep. I hate when fwds pass it back to the d 3 feet from the blue line with an opposition in between. Standing still to hold the line as a dman and the fwd has a stride or too going the correct way. Always hated that as a dman. Feel like Nurse could have helped out when he saw Kulak wasn't going to catch him

Where was bouch passing it? Two goals against direct result of him

Horrible defensive plays. ..Kulak gets caught again....janmark gives it away in neutral zone...brutal
 
Our coach has the emotional energy of a sloth, he just stands there with blank look on his face. His team is playing exactly the same way
 
What is Schwartz coaching these guys to do? Skinner swimming and winds up facing away from the goal scorer and off balance like he didn’t know what to do or how to play that. He didn’t even realise he passed it the way his head never left the puck carrier until it was too late.

#74 indeed, the jersey number matches his save percentage.
 
Can't stop a puck when it literally hits his catching glove and than follows that up with instead of doing a pad stack he makes himself as small as possible and tries to go fishing. Not a systems goalie not an atheltic goalie what exactly is his bread and butter?
Oilers getting outshot, outplayed, giving up 2-0s and its always the goalies fault....a lazy narrative but on par with this place

He's big and has a penchant for being on his knees?
 
The team isn't doing Skinner many favors but ffs make a damn save once in awhile.
Bad D, Bad Goaltending--take your pick on who to blame.

Bouch just coasting out there.

One thing I noticed in watching the tournament is how good goalies challenge the shooter and move out a bit and position themselves to take away the advantage. Skinner rarely does that.

I'd upgrade Skinner. But teams don't win with this level of massive bad decisions and poor defending. Their defensive play has been slipping for the past 5+ games. This is a team issue.

Skinner deserves some fault, but these turnovers are completely inexcusable. Ridiculous and embarrassing play by the whole team today.

The goalie needs to make a big save or two at some point. I say this as a defender of him generally but he's just been atrocious most of this season.
Oil mistakes are massive and egregious. Weak side net front support has been a fleeting concept and soft. This is a team issue today. FAR to sloppy and soft.
 
It’s going to be an incredible shame watching management trade (approved by a simpleton coach) a blossoming stud in Savoie and some other assets for a D only to watch goaltending sewer another Cup chance
 
Why this organization refuses to invest goaltending is baffling. Every other team has a goalie department. We have a one man show…Schwartz
