McDavid point night I'm hoping. Let's go 7-1.

How much do the Oilers win by?

 

[NeverForget06]

Just keep it rolling!

Banking these points at the start of the year is always a great thing. I think it's quite a bit easier to bank these points now when everyone is fresh and some other teams are less desperate. Bank em now so the big boys aren't playing 25 mins a night until the bitter end

It's almost irresponsible not to give Skinner a game.

Worst case scenario he sucks and we learn he isn't our answer in net beyond this year. Best case scenario he pulls a Binnington and leads us to the cup.

Irresponsible??
Mike Smith should be ready and should get the start next game.

Also lol @ posters claiming this to be easy 2 points. Must be new Oilers fans.

Smith is a huge question mark, but they should give him extra time off to get healthy. Don’t want him to come back and get hurt again. If he’s good to go it’s a different story but if he’s still not ready they should definitely be giving tomorrow’s game to Skinner.

Smith could have played yesterday but they gave him the extra weekend off. He should be given the start tomorrow if he is healthy hoping it would be an easy'ish night for him.

Oilers do for some 5/5 production 6-3 Oil

I’m sad that we don’t have stone colds broken skull IPA in Canada. Apparently it’s super good.

Yeah this won't be a easy win IMO.

Kraken aren't Year 1 Vegas but they aren't Year 1 Sharks either.

Management has big decisions to make regarding our goaltending position next season. Skinner being a viable option would basically alleviate all of our cap problems but we'll never know if he has an NHL future if we don't give him a chance. I say give him a game here.

The one NHL game he got last season set him up for a great AHL season so certainly not opposed to Skinner getting the start.

I just want to know if skinner looks decent before the team blows a bunch of assets trading for a different goalie

skinner should be getting two game while he is up - probably won’t hapoen
