Perhaps, but Picard starts next game without question and only way Skinner comes back is if Picard lets in 5 two games in a row and if he does we already lost the series
I suspect this is the last game Skinner will play for the Oilers
My hope is that we get a split in LA and if that happens, LA will have incredible pressure as good as they are at home, they are by a long shot the worst team on the road out of all the teams in the playoffs
I trust that Skinner (Stew) will take that challenge and rise to it, especially on the PK, if he steps up, we win even with Ekholm out, if Skinner struggles, and no Ekholm, we might be in trouble. To me it all comes down to the sv% on the PK, we can get a draw at 5x5 and get 40% on the PP
Perhaps, but playing a man short missing your top 6 guys, is manageable, till your down, and as soon as you get down the "belief" goes away very quickly. Their underlying numbers are still good, they were great, but have 97 & 29 on the PP is like a Chance Card
I personally don't see the "poor results" they are 7-3-0 in their last ten, and 6 of those games they started a man short and one of those games, they ended short 2
I have: #1 Dostal; #2 Hill; #3 Demko; #4 Gibson; #5 Lankinen; #6 Wolf; #7 Skinner; #8 Kuemper; #9 Vanecek; #10 Picard; #11 Daccord; #12 Grubauer; #13 Rittich; #14 Vladar; #15 Georgiev; #16 Samsonov
Would love to hear people's rankings here: There are 16 goalies in the Pacific Division: Kuemper; Hill; Lankinen; Demko; Wolf; Daccord; Rittich; Pickard; Gibson; Skinner; Dostal; Samsonov; Vladar; Georgiev; Vanecek; Grubauer;
I don't think Marner has touched the puck more than 3 times the whole game and each time he did he instantly gave it away
2nd NHL crazy stat of the day, there are 21 d-men in the NHL with a cap hit of $8M or higher and only 7 have more than 5 goals and only 2 have more than 9, they say goalies are voodoo, #1 paid defensemen as well I guess.
NHL Stat of the day, only two players in the top 9 scoring have a cap hit less than $9M...Draisaitl & Kyle Conner and Conner still has 1 more year left after this one at $7.14M Wow what a bargain Kyle Conner is
crazy NHL stat of the day...6 of the top 7 P% teams are in the West and 3 of the top 7 are in the Pacific
I will sum up by stating that this idea of holding all sides to account applies even more so to the Oilers, Nurse is a good defenseman, not perfect and certainly overpaid, but he does amazing things for this team and sometimes does some bad things for this team.
What troubles me the most in these troubling times is the "entrenchment" in your "team" or "side". I implore each and everyone of us to hold our "side" to the same standard we hold the other side. Pierre has numerous and almost uncountable faults; however Trudeau is not far behind, lets do this
I am someone, who never posts anything on Social Media as I find it holds little value; however, on Bluesky, I want/need to have a place for current events, breaking news and Oilers chatter. What I would really like to see is a bunch of like minded people discussing and relaying current events
