This will make or break his Oilers career.
Looking forward to watching this, will be a great show on hockey night
Only one way for him to improve his save percentage from the worst playoff starter ever, and that's to start. Good move here.
Oilers don't wave towels, they wave orange pom poms.

It is just unorthodox to switch goalies after the playing goalie did nothing noticeable wrong.

He’s had a couple games to refocus. Sure he could be feeling more pressure, but he may rise to the occasion. He has good games and bad ones. I think this is a very uneasy game for the Canucks despite whoever is in net. Oilers are going to take that extra inch, take that extra stride, finish every check, and throw the kitchen sink. Canucks may be facing a low volume shot affair again.

4 of them will go in on 15 shots so it won't even matter.
Oil will outwork, outplay and outshoot the Canucks something like 43-18 and lose 4-2. Can already feel it

Have both sides started doing background and credit checks on the refs yet?
Folks,
Game is still 6 hours away let’s try and be nice to each other, thanks.

The PDO frauds can't keep getting away with it.
However, you can say outshoot, but outwork and outplay cannot be represented by shot count.

They’ve yet to do that combined in a single game yet this series, don’t think they do in this one. Canucks are just too physically strong for them
I picked Oilers in 6, then after few minutes I realised that I rate more players on Canucks and wanted to change my pick to Canucks in 6 but it was not a possible to change vote. So I have to stick with Oilers. They will win tonight and somehow will win Game 7

The Oilers could win game 6, but this is a super risky move because if the Canucks score early, the team in front of Skinner could go into panic mode and put them on their heals thinking about Skinner letting in another weak one. The psychology of the team changes when the players don't trust the goalie. Even the Oilers players must be wondering why Skinner is going back in.

Why did the NHL schedule for a 6PM MT start? Should’ve been 7PM

I still think Edmonton takes this in 7, but they need to figure out Zadorov, guys just completely worn down their entire team

Canucks in 6 was my choice and sticking to it. Zadorov has been a force indeed in these playoffs !!

I anticipated canucks to win in 6 with full rosters. Then demko got hurt, and pettersson just seemed off.... so I switched to Edmonton in 6 before the series started.
Either way, these were pretty nice conditions presented to the oilers.
My prediction won't come true anymore for this series but I wish I had bet on the Boston/Florida series. I predicted Florida in 6 and I predicted Boston to win game 1.
No east coast game scheduled due to Rangers winning and the league already giving both East series an extra day off.
No matter how much we hate it, the population is skewd to the east coast and the TV networks thinks that some how it might add audience members.

Why are people acting like it's over? If the Oilers can get their PP back to snuff it should at the very least be an even game.
I'm hoping for a game 7.

While the powerplay is an important part of the game you really shouldn't rely on it for scoring. Last night both Avs and Stars had 1 powerplay each in a game went went into double OT and its not because both teams played so cleanly lol . Best not to expect to get any powerplays at all . If you get one you better score on it but you don't want to build your scoring around it .
