Whoever wins G7 will beat Dallas.

Dallas lol gimme a break

Skinner isn't winning a Cup. JMHO but I'd be willing to wager any amount on that prognatication.

Great win by EDM. G7 anything can happen. But I trust Skinner as much as Freddie A, Campbell and Samsonov.

I don’t really think any sane or sober oilers fan would try to tell you that Stuart Skinner is a cup calibre goalie.

Calder cup, yeah probably.

 

[winnipegger]

Edmonton allowed 15 shots tonight. When you do this it massively takes the pressure off of weak goaltending. They haven't put together two really good games in a row yet so we will see if they can.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Game looked like it was gonna be like most game where Oilers can’t hold on to momentum after scoring and let game slip away. They didn’t know. If they adjusted then Van might be in trouble

Skinner wasn’t really tested but it’s still massive confidence booster for him which has looked shot since that game 1 meltdown.

Who would bet on Kuemper though?

 

[Some Other Flame]

Canucks gonna choke this series away. Sad.

Chris Osgood won a cup when he was letting in bad goals from center ice lol
It’s been proven you can win by masking your goalies faults by boosting up another ways to win. Not saying it’s a good way to win but it’s been proven a lot you don’t need an elite goaltender to win. Skinner just has to stop letting in bad goals and they have a chance.

If Alexandar Georgiyevich Georgiev can win with Mackinnon Skinner can with McDavid and Draisatl

do you know who Georgiev is or….

 

[Regal]

If Alexandar Georgiyevich Georgiev can win with Mackinnon Skinner can with McDavid and Draisatl

Georgiev didn’t win though

 

[Stealth1616]

I feel like both teams have been very Jekyl and Hyde.

Hard to predict who is gonna show up for game 7

I tend to agree since he won enough in the regular season, but the Wings were also a much better team relative to the league than the Oilers. LA and Van haven’t really tested Skinner enough. Will be interesting if the Oilers move on if Dallas actually sends decent rubber at him.

Avs traded for Georgiev after they won the Cup .

Knob seemed to change up how the Oilers were forechecking in the second and they completely killed the Canucks breakouts. Will be interesting if we see further adjustments from Vancouver because this one wasn’t pretty

 

[Lawzy]

You had to edit / Colorado from your mindless posts?

?

I'm going to laugh if the winner just unexpectedly sweeps Dallas. Since all we've heard about from anyone since this series started was how much they were going to get destroyed.

Mostly tongue in cheek. I do think Dallas has looked better than both these teams but certainly not to the extent posters are claiming. It'll be a good battle either way.

 

[Regal]

that blocker save on (Hughes?) was unreal. if that was glove side it would have been highlight of the night. shame its not going to get the love it deserves

It looked like a nothing shot live but when they showed the replay from the other angle I was like damn, that was a nice one

 

[Regal]

Is Hughes following in the footsteps of previous Canuck captains Sedin, Luongo, Naslund, Messier in disappointing in the biggest games? Can he break the trend?

We have no recollection of this person

 

[Jason316]

Georgiev didn’t win though

Darcy Kuemper

point stands though

Yeah brain freeze

He was a good backup for New York Rangers

 

[petterdaddy]

Darcy Kuemper

point stands though

I think Kuemper is better than Skinner and it’s not really close

 

[serp]

I think Kuemper is better than Skinner and it’s not really close

Was better. Since his eye injury Kuemper has looked mostly terrible and lost his starting job in Washington to journeyman Charlie Lindgren

 

[Osakahaus]

Im excited to see how this game 7 goes

Should be really fun.

Oh I had no idea he had an injury. My bad, thanks for the info.

Yeah poor Kuemper. He was awesome for the Avalanche as well but man, that type of injury just ruins careers. You know it absolutely sucks that Okposo had a similar injury and he's never been the same.
