Maybe but one line is scoring more than enough to theoretically win games.But that doesn’t stop the entire bottom nine from not scoring a single goal in three games.

ya it's a problem....but getting a f***ing save is priority #1 #2 and #3But that doesn’t stop the entire bottom nine from not scoring a single goal in three games.
To be a fair we had the puck a ton tonight. I bet like 90% of our hits were in the first period.Personally I'm wondering where the defense physicality is? Nugent Hopkins was credited with 2 hits ... that's 2 more than each of Desharnais and Ceci who checked in at 0. It's also 1 less than Nurse and Kulak. 1 more than Ekholm. Add that the Oil d only had 5 block shots.
Oilers d were very passive in front of a mediocre goaltender. Too much space and time early which set this game in motion.
Lots of players can be pulled out of the herd tonight. Oil were the softer, more passive team to a man.
Seeing Nurse get suspended for shit like that in the playoffs. I don’t trust the NHL to not give us a screw job. Especially when you are long for revenge after the final whistle.Nah weak sauce , if anyone deserved a straight punch to the mouth it was Zadorov at that moment and our players acted like p***yes
I'm telling you, if Bouchard doesn't step it up the Oilers will lose this series. It won't matter who they have in net.
can't believe how many Oiler fans Skinner fooled all year long, especially during that win streak. the guy was the beneficiary of a statistically top three defense in the league over that timespan playing against bottom feeders night every night. nothing in his play has ever suggested that he's a changed goaltender. his tracking, awareness and movement have been just as bad as ever. this guy is a disaster.
You simply cannot rely on two players to win you a championship. It hasn’t worked in eight years why would now be any different? Nikita Zadorov has more goals than 3/4 of our forwards.All of those are issues. But Mcdavid and Draisaitl are that good that we should have won those games.
The issue is they can’t play goalie. And our goalie sucks f***ing big donkey balls.
Scoring isn’t a problem no matter how much you want to try and make it about that. We aren’t winning cause we aren’t scoring. Even if it’s just Mcdavid and draisaitl.
We aren’t winning cuz once again, our goaltender is good for 2 softies a game
The bolded couldn't be anymore true. If you've played hockey at any level you should understand that.But the consistent theme is him not making saves in this series in particular. The Canucks haven't even played well in one game, they've done the bare minimum to skim by and have scored on pretty much every high danger scoring chance. This isn't the Avs running over Mike Smith or the Oilers getting shut down by Hellebuyck, it's an ongoing problem with Skinner. I'm also aware that there's a lot of passengers on this roster but when your goalie isn't making saves, it effects the entire team.
27 shots we couldn’t find the finish on. And 4 posts we couldn’t find the finish on. Games can be won and loss in more than one way.The Oilers allowed three shots against in the third period and had 27 more shots against Vancouver than they had against us. There's really not much more to this story than Skinner losing us the game.
why is Bouchard that high up on your list of Oiler problems?I'm telling you, if Bouchard doesn't step it up the Oilers will lose this series. It won't matter who they have in net.
Hate the message all you want but I think you'll regret losing the series if Bouchard can't get his shit together, pronto.
by the sounds of it, sounds like he is gonna start him next gameOne of the all time understatements.
Nuge hit?? hahah he's scared of his own shadowDoes nuge hit? I've noticed oil dump the pucks in van dmen retrieve make a pass against boards and nuge goes out of his way to not finish a check.
It seems like the opposite tonight with even petterson finishing his checks.
It really isn’t especially when said line was featured in a “this guy scored” moment.Maybe but one line is scoring more than enough to theoretically win games.
He also said he didnt know if it would be game 4 or game 5If Kris f***ing Knobhead starts Skinner next game I'm going to f***ing lose my mind. "We'll see him again and he'll bounce back". I swear to f***ing god this idiot is testing my patience. I was feeling pretty alright before I just watched his post-game interview and now I'm going to bed pissed off.

Give me a suspended nurse any day lmaoSeeing Nurse get suspended for shit like that in the playoffs. I don’t trust the NHL to not give us a screw job. Especially when you are long for revenge after the final whistle.
The problem is this is who they’ve hitched the golden wagon too and there’s no competent 1B to come in. Campbell hasn’t seen an NHL minute since November. Pickard is only there because Rodrigue isn’t ready. Holland thinking a Skinner/Pickard duo is cup-calibre just goes to show how braindead he is.As frustrating as this is there isn't any reason to panic. Wev have been the better team easily 2 of the 3 games. Sub par goaltending and we are up 3-0
