This team will still lose first round with this level goaltending. It’s sad to say that Mike Smith and Koskinen gave this team more reliable goaltending but it’s true. They atleast were streaky and could shut it down. Skinner is just always below average
Well if they can make some progress this season maybe there’s a roloson out there to be had at the deadline.

Glad we got 2 points but wow. It's hard to not be hard on players like McLeod when it's those mistakes that cost games in the playoffs... Also easy to see how the team can get apathetic when they dominate and that happens.

Need a goalie and need to send a message to the young Mcleod by sending him away somewhere.

Also, shame on you refs. Absolutely pathetic, dishonorable punks. Maybe some day this league will have integrity and respect what’s supposed to be the highest level of competitive hockey.
Shades of the playoffs, where in the middle of the series the Knights PK was so pathetic the refs stopped calling penalties against them (because it was pretty much an automatic goal for the Oilers).

f*** off Skinner. We get the win despite Skinner again being awful.

Vladar had a dozen harder stops to make last night. Vegas had negligible space and scoring chances all night but Skinner giving them a point. Just ridiculous goaltending. How can any team trust the goaltending?

if you watched the game last night you know how stark the contrast. Flames were awful giving Vegas tons of chances and they only got one. If Skinner was in Calgary net it would be double digits allowed last night.

I honestly think Skinner was good today. Maybe could’ve had the third goal but, other than that, he was very good. In overtime and the shootout

Yay!
Forgive me for not celebrating more after blowing a late 2 goal lead to a team that played the night before.
Who cares if they played the night before. That is such an over used excuse if you lose,especially this early in the year when you're fresh and all the luxury player have now. Plus they should be extra mad and pissed they lost last night and play better tonight.

As the team is made up right now, they aren’t it.

They might climb back into the playoff picture etc. but the same issues that plagued them in the playoffs still exist.

The NHL reffing is also the same, so there’s that too.

How was he awful LOL. The 3rd goal yes but how could any of our garbage goalies have been as good? Campbell sucks and Pickard is just as bad.

The "missed" high stick on Ekholm still pisses me off. Would've put us on a 4 min PP in the 3rd period of an elimination game.

The NHL doesn't make it easy on Canadian franchises.
