Sure. But again tonight being the worst player on your line, and he was with different people tonight, it isn't a good look. Skinner was an offside machine tonight on the rush and everytime because he wants to go peripheral instead of taking a hit to gain line. he's not great in heavy hockey, and he's never really had to play through it. Still not sold on him.

If it didn't happen in the 80's, it didn't happen
Eat shit, Vegas.
Seriously, after that atrocious first, managing to steal a RW is massive.
Pickard should get more leash going forward.

Ludicrous speed, GO!
Much like Lucic years ago, most of his production came in before the new year before falling of a cliff.
He has 2-5-7 in 2025 (38 games) vs, 6-10-16 in 2024 (37games)

Yeah. Offensively he's a big black hole and has been that his whole time here. He's more like Belanger Triangle. Him and Janmark.

Still bugs me that all these Knights, guys like Eichel got a SC. Look at him tonight and he botched almost everything. Eichel -2 Zero boxcars, at least had a couple shots Stone was worse. STone -2 Zero boxcars, zero plays all night and zero shots. Stone wasn't invisible tonight, he was awful.
Guy like Drai plays huge in almost every game and still no cups.

I'd love to see him start but the Oilers being the Oilers will likely start Pickard again and I guess I can't blame them as the Oilers don't want to admit it but Pickard has outplayed Skinner this year and deserves all the starts he's getting while Skinner is out !!
I'm not a goalie, and I dont play one on TV, but Stu has no lateral movement whatsoever and he is constantly getting beat on glove hand. I just cant see him getting better. Oilernation cringes when he is in netsI'd love to see him start but the Oilers being the Oilers will likely start Pickard again and I guess I can't blame them as the Oilers don't want to admit it but Pickard has outplayed Skinner this year and deserves all the starts he's getting while Skinner is out !!
That goalie I mentioned earlier is Matt Davis.

Sportsnet showed a clip of Knob speaking about Pickard after the game. He started it off saying “what Pickard lacks in technical ability he more than makes up for in effort” (paraphrased). I thought it was an odd statement to make considering his chosen goalie Skinner has no technical ability whatsoever, can’t move around and his entire game is reliant on hoping the puck just hits him and his teammates can clear the rebound before someone puts it in the net. Whatever faint hope I had that Pickard would finish the season as starter over Skinner evaporated after that.

I truly believe that Drai would have two right now with a better goalie than Skinner in the last two playoffs.
frustrating to say the least. I find the big thing is he just cant make that big save when it matters and he is always gonna let in 1 weak oneYup, this year you just don't know which Stu you're gonna get hey?

When Draisaitl was out as well, the Oilers would have had almost $40MM on the IR.

Poor bugger was stapled to Janmark and Brown. McDrai would have a hard time producing with those 2.

I hope we get him, we need a lot of new goalies so that hopefully some amount to something worthwhile.
He has been awful for awhile now. Janmark and Brown are such nothing players. Skate around, don’t hit, don’t generate offence, don’t forecheck, don’t score
McDrai have had issues producing with those 2

Won the goaltender battle (finally). Pickard was excellent with some goal post help. His better hockey sense was on display with anticipating the late game low to wide open, high danger shot which he reads and came out to challenge.
Saw the best of Podkolzen tonight with fast, heavy forecheck and first to pucks in all zones tonight. Nurse was excellent with a huge late game shot block. Walman broke the ice for a sleeping team that was able to hang around. Important W to beat a playoff nemesis.
