I think that is why we have no accountability from the top down. Because at the end of the day, Katz knows we are still going to games and buying merch.
That's how it rolls in hockey markets especially Canadian based. I hope we f***ing win tonight.

Season is def over with the coach and management thinking skinner is still a #1. Was a great season. Until October, guys,
We got lit up. We got our show run. Pickard made some great stops. It defies logic to go back to the guy who couldn’t get it done.game 4, they had 14 shots in the 2nd
game 5 was awful all around dont get me wrong. But they definitely have played tigther defensively in front of Pickard. Lets just not see Vancouver get wide open looks in the first again thanks to blown coverage and turn overs
A bad performance and he’s as good as gone
Wayne once called Edmonton the Church of Hockey. And with Church’s comes religion and with religion comes faith and belief. Yes we are a rational, knowledgeable fanbase and we all have our criticisms about the team. But for one game and one night, have some faith. Trust me, you can do all the complaining and being negative after, no one will take that opportunity from you.
Good luck Stu, I hate the decision and do not understand it but I hope you step up and play great. I am in no way rooting against you, just want to win. That being said if you play crap again and the season is over it’s time to say bye-bye to you and every single muppet who came to this decision
Skinner already played himself out of the starting job in the playoffs. I have zero doubt we would have won by now if we played Picard the whole series.
If we play Skinner tonight that decision will be looked back on as one of the pivotal reasons we couldn't win a cup with McDavid and Draisaitl and why they leave via free agency.
One of the worst takes I've ever seen.
Why would a fanbase that still supports this org and buys tickets deserve to lose. Still supporting an org that has expressed contempt of and critics multiple times.We quit after 1GA and this fanbase deserves to lose.
We're going back to Vancouver for game 7.

Imagine being this miserableSeason is def over with the coach and management thinking skinner is still a #1. Was a great season. Until October, guys,
The Oilers shit the bed last game with Pickard in net. The weakest defensive effort of the series and allowed the Nucks more SOG than they had all playoffs. Twice as many as they usually get. Pretty clearly the Oilers kind of relaxed with Pickard in net knowing there'd be saves and a lot of them. Indeed there were. Pickard made 32 stops while letting in 3 goals. In one game this series Skinner let in 4 goals while making only 11 saves.game 4, they had 14 shots in the 2nd
game 5 was awful all around dont get me wrong. But they definitely have played tigther defensively in front of Pickard. Lets just not see Vancouver get wide open looks in the first again thanks to blown coverage and turn overs

No doubt this fanbase supports the team financially. But ticket sales aren’t going to give the team energy on the ice when needed. Belief and noise is what’s needed tonight.Why would a fanbase that still supports this org and buys tickets deserve to lose.

Most Canadian fans of most teams have kind of earned something better than they're getting from the NHL which has shutout Canada for some 31yrs.
So that a Lord Stanley trophy that was given to Canada is never given to a Canadian team. Oh well when Bettman is gone in 50yrs it should get better.
Yup I agree. Win tonight and Game 7 Monday. Which we will win because our D&D group is playing that night so I can’t watch!
Not playing Picks/Campbell over Skinner wasn't and won't be a reason why we didn't win a cup, c'mon...
Not having a true shutdown defenceman and 3rd/4th lines, and a legit #1 goalie are the major reasons.
Keep the faith brother, without it, what’s the point of being a fan. I couldn’t imagine not watching the game tonight and just giving up.
