If you told people before game 7 that Skinner would hold Florida to 2 goals they would’ve been happy.

If you told them McDrai would have 0 points they’d say “we’re f***ed”.

The Oilers are built to win through our offence. Ask anyone around the league and they’ll tell you the same. Skinner’s job is to keep us in games, not to steal them. Anyone who thinks otherwise should look at our pay structure.

Skinner did his job by holding one of the league’s best offences to only two goals. Our offence unfortunately didn’t show up and that’s what cost us. You can’t win a championship game by scoring one goal.

Pay structure should not dictate how you perform, as I said previously.

Some players are underpaid.

Just a garbage trash excuse.

This guy makes almost 4 mill CDN and we are propping this sh** goalie up. My god.

Media. Everybody. They just like low standards.

I don't think Skinner is the answer, but let's be honest here, Binnington had one good game out of four. That doesn't cut it in the playoffs. Doesn't matter how great you are every 4th game. He is not a significant enough upgrade, based on his general play, contract and cost to acquire.

He was playing All-Star teams every night in that tournament, that's a bit different from Skinner who is sheltered hard here and poops the bed anytime he sees a MacKinnon or Eichel or Marner come near him.

Canada's D was not very good honestly either. You can tell there's a lack of chemistry as they basically had two practices and then got thrown into the deep end right away.
 
Ok, enough of this f***ing nonsense. Jack Campbell was trash his entire time in Edmonton. He had a good few minutes against the Kings that one time, he failed utterly and completely otherwise.

So re-inventing f***ing nonsense. His contract held the Oilers from getting over the top last year and keeps holding the Oilers back. f*** Holland for that, f*** Jack Campbell for just failing, and stop pretending otherwise.

Canpbell had zero leash here. He outplayed Skinner during the 23 playoffs and also the start of last season before they sent him to the minors.

Campbell was beyond awful

The Oilers got to game 7 of the final. They did not do that because the Oilers bottom 6 outplayed the bottom six of LA, Vancouver and Dallas. They did it in good part because their top players outplayed the top players of those teams. This is why the Oilers have won more playoff games over the last three years than every other team except Florida. Now as I said it is not absolute. Even if your best players are great you do still need the rest of the team to at least hold their own. Depth does matter. But in general it is the top players that make the most difference.

Lot of contributing factors to the run. A huge, likely non repeatable one was a 94% penalty kill that was also outscoring opposition. Without question your top guys need to be scoring. But goal suppression work in all its forms is also vital to deep playoff runs.

I'll just add this...The last three years the two teams that have won the most playoff games are Florida and Edmonton.

Edmonton with either McDavid or Draisaitl on the ice 5 vs 5

GF 90 GA 73

Edmonton with neither McDavid or Draisaitl on the ice 5 vs 5

GF 33 GA 48

Florida with either Barkov or Tkachuk on the ice

GF 69 GA 45

Florida with neither Barkov or Tkachuk on the ice

GF 37 GA 52

Last year:

Edmonton with either McDavid or Draisaitl on the ice 5 vs 5

GF 41 GA 35

Edmonton with neither McDavid or Draisaitl on the ice 5 vs 5

GF 12 GA 21

Florida with either Barkov or Tkachuk on the ice

GF 30 GA 24

Florida with neither Barkov or Tkachuk on the ice

GF 15 GA 14

So you're saying have depth win their match up is a path to success, I like it.

For those saying Campbell had a good run with the OIlers. He had only one full season here and in 36 games he tossed a .888 save % and a GAA of 3.41. In 5 games in 23/24 GAA was 4.50 save % was .873. HE had a few good games that first year but he could not put things together for good stretches.

Edmonton has become a goalie wasteland

Haha, did some homework I see, too bad it only involves 2 players for each team.
Look, obviously your best players need to produce and ours did, McD, Drai, Hyman and Nuge all had fantastic numbers. That’s 4 above average contributions but it still didn’t result in a Cup win. All I’m saying is some more contribution from the bottom 6 and we probably win a Cup. Skinner be damned.

Whether he is back by the deadline isn't really the issue, it's if he will be back before the end of the season.

He won't be. A casual skate at 60% pace (I dont know how Gregor assessed it at 60% lol) is a far way from being game ready. His whole upper core was rebuilt. Has hasn't done any strength training. He won't be back. I bet the Oilers will also explore trading him if there is a hint that he will return.

Look- .873 is the same save % as Stu in the first period and .888 is pretty close to Stu's .900 this year

The point is that he is put up similar numbers as Stu has this year. Stu's playoff numbers are worse than Campbell's regular season numbers- and yet- Skinner is being defended here
