Post-Game Talk: Oilers are good at shootouts now?

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Schedule win delivered. Pretty dominant game with an incredible momentary lapse to give a dead (tired and done) Champion team a glimpse of day light and voila tie game. Little to no puck possession in carnival time. But finally FINALLY close it out.

McSavior carrying this team right now. Great PK and PP was pretty solid.

 

[frag2]

2 pts!!!!

Skinner still scares me
And McLeod is garbage. Time to throw him with Soup

 

[OfCorsiDid]

@Cloned ‘s mom is a Oilers fan?

Keep her away from Corey Perry.

 

[iCanada]

Vegas barely had a scoring chance tonight and got 4 goals. You legitimately just can't even let the other team get a shot on goal against these goalies.

0.9 xGA on Skinner... Somehow 4 GA. ROFL.

They basically had no chances all game.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Who do you want in net? Campbell? Pickard?

Who has the most wins out of our goalies season this so far? Campbell? Pickard?

Who was our starting goalie last year? Campbell? Pickard?

I'll take Skinner's average to less average performances over those two shit shows

What kind of f***ed up questions are this. Skinner gets all the starts and has the most wins. jebus heres the rubber duck prize. He's f***ing useless. Get a goalie.

None of them can be in net, arguing about the three of them is stupid, it's like arguing between Markkanen, Conklin, or Morrison in 2006, if any three of those guys is the start in the playoffs, the Oilers would lose in round 1. Book it.

 

[Black Gold Extractor]

Every win and point counts. Long way to go, but it is good to get on a win streak.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Am I the only one seeing something good with this team? Defensively we've been decent. We've been allowing less high danger scoring chances and, yes Skinner hasn't been the best, but he's better than what we have. We just won 3 straight and 1 against one of the top teams and the Stanley Cup Winner from last year. Why is everyone complaining this much?

Team played well. Bad defensive positioning by McCleod on the third but Skinner can't make that save we need. He's flat out unreliable.

 

[McTonyBrar]

You gotta be kidding with this. Skinner let in 4 goals and Vegas only had half a dozen scoring chances all night. Oilers dominated the game. That vegas managed to get a point out of this is highway robbery.

He's the worst starter in the league.

Skinner was too low in crouch on first 2 goals. 3 goal is lol, and 4th goal he could be up higher in his crease. But really the only one I don't fault him on is 4th goal. Others he should have had.

The only goal I think Skinner should've stopped is the third goal. The 4th goal the guy was wide open. I'm not saying he's been stellar. But he's gotten a shutout this season and, I believe, the most wins.

He's not been great but he's better than Pickard or what's his name in the AHL

 

[bucks_oil]

Should have started Pickard.

That third goal is unacceptable.

A shot through the legs of Erne as Erne is going down to block?

You’d have to appreciate the sight lines to judge, but there was a very low chance he can see that.

Skinner is having a tough time these days but you can’t attribute any blame on that particular shot

 

[TheNumber4]

Snatched victory from the jaws of Bettman.

Or should I said Fangs cause he’s a life sucking vampire.

 

[Spawn]

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

He literally cannot be counted on to make a single difficult save. The shootout Vegas missed the net and hit the post.

 

[LTIR]

Every point counts baby

Too bad we gifted one to them.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Well for now, I'd go with Skinner until we can find a goalie.

 

[MoontoScott]

We got the two points. That's all that matters.

I think we still need a goalie though.

Every time Vegas shot the puck I thought it was going in--call it paranoia if you so choose.

I hope Pickard gets the start against the Jets.

 

[YakDavid]

The third wasn’t great but the fourth is just all in the team defence and not him.

I think the third is much harder than it looks. It goes through Erne.

Solid game and did well on the penalty kill, with lots of practice. We definitely buckle and lose in regulation in after their 4th.

Because they collapsed the exact same way they did in the playoffs to the same team. Not very encouraging as they comfortably outplayed them like you said.

Ya the refs sucked but that's something they will have no control over unless someone in the organization gets some balls and complains to the league.

 

[oXo Cube]

Skinner stepped up and gave Vegas nothing in the shootout, I'll give him that.

Anyone still defending his play in regular time really needs to get with the program.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

It really just feels like everything goes in and we have to bust our asses for goals.

 

[McOilers97]

I can excuse goal #1 (great tip and fluky deflection) and #4 (heavy screen), but #2 and #3 are goals that Skinner should be stopping. Still really happy with the way the team played, and relieved that they’re back in the mix.

He wants Campbell. He's made it clear as such. Take that as you will.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

If we do make the playoffs, Skinner cannot be the goalie in net for game 1 of the playoffs.

He is a back up goalie, that's all there is to it.

I think he would be a fantastic back up but at this point in his career he can’t be trusted to be the starter. Maybe with a bit more experience.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Figure out how, but go get Adam Henrique for 3C

 

[McTonyBrar]

He literally cannot be counted on to make a single difficult save. The shootout Vegas missed the net and hit the post.

He did make some difficult saves in the first half of the game until we took over. Yes the third goal should've been stopped. The 4th goal Kolesar was wide open and tipped out of the air. Vinny should've had him

 

[MessierII]

I don’t even think the 3rd goal was bad. It was a top corner clapper through a guys legs. It’s just at some point you need to make a difficult stop. Especially in big moments.
