Yes pickard has had bad games.
But recently hes been miles better than Skinner and its not even debatable.
Your still not dating my daughter.

Jones had one good game and then pushed the AHL button.

Didn't realize that Bouch has 60 points on the year.
Still a good year offensively. Now tighten it up south of the blue line come playoffs.

I’ll have to wait for the Jokinen emote to come back for this one.
Pickard has now played well enough in two consecutive, critical "four point" games against tough opponents. Hope he keeps this going so I have a bit more confidence in him for the playoffs.
The problem with Skinner is he plays well enough every so often to trick the coach into trusting him. They should've started Pickard in Game 3 of the SCF after Skinner's first two middling performances, but the Dallas series was still fresh in everyone's minds...and made everyone forget the Vancouver series before it. I have zero confidence in another playoffs if Skinner is at the helm.

IMO he had a very solid night as well.
Someone should warn Skinner about a potential stalker...

Nurse had a hell of a game and the Walman - Bouchard pair was great.
Arvidsson's game has really picked up in the last 4-5 weeks. Great to see him get more consistent close to the playoffs.
Whenever I compliment goalies, it goes the other way so no comment.
Stauffer also said he expects us to announce some signings out of Europe in the next 48-72 hours

They looked solid after a very shaky first ten minutes.
I don't care if they finish 3rd. They are a bit neurotic and often lose the first game of the series. Its best to lose the first game in L.A. and not in Edmonton.

Pretty mixed bag that stat. lol
We get a lot of our pts from D, and a lot of the better producers on the club are D.
For clarity Brown isn't even topten in team in pts and he has only 8 goals and 25pts. Thats .333pts/game. That ain't swell.
In Pts/Game or G/G Brown is way down the lineup. In the latter better than only Janmark who couldn't score in Vegas.

This is the Walman we saw in the Dallas game. Hope he sticks around. And it's OK, you can praise Skinner here, there's only one Stu Stan left in this thread and he's pretty much tonight's jester.

You obviously haven’t read many of my posts this season. That or you have me confused with somebody else.
I was probably the first one here sounding the alarm on McDavids poor play since January and if you actually did read my posts you’d know that my personal Oilers whipping boy this season it’s Bouchard - because he raised his game to such a high level last year that my expectations for him are much greater.
Should Skinner turn his game around - and I hope that he does - I will be appropriately enthusiastic.

Walman has had a few average games. But, in majority of them, he's been close to our best Dman

I just got a 10,000 maniacs award but no idea how the system knows all my friends.

Kapanen brings the same pk, is playing very well defensively and took away the tying goal 5mins into third. Kap offers better speed and still think he might something. He's playing with some zip and even telecast saying he had a strong game. Got a nice assist on Arvid goal. Made some other plays. But some really good defensive plays.
This was another weak game from J Skinner. Really think he has some trouble against the bigger clubs.
I'd love to see how many points Knob left on the table by healthy scratching Jeff Skinner so much, barely giving him over 10 minutes a game for a stretch, and now putting him with Janmark...who may never score another goal.

People are on him so much and yet he still is really bringing it offensively. He's also has several passes of the year highlights. For a guy constantly critiqued here he sure spots some home runs.
