Teams just a bunch of lazy entitled players with a losers mentality. No amount of player or coaching change is going to fix the attitude in that locker room. 3 goals from your bottom 6, 3 separate leads and in the most predictable fashion they lose again. The fans deserve better than this disrespectful joke of a team.
Skinner is a backup playing starter and their season going down the drain with the reality that he’s NOT the answer in goal and still Holland refuses to change anything besides send Campbell down! Just play pickard for goodness sake maybe just maybe they can actually find someone better than what they have but I’m not holding my breath.
kris do the players practice bad passing and also missing the net on shots and do the coaches teach the players to hold on to the puck to long i dont see this on other teams 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😠
The type of loss that has been happening under Woody all season. This game proves Woodcroft’s coaching was never the problem. That is something we all knew from the beginning though.
Outshot the competition, again, 2 to 1 and we f’ing lose because our sloppy, piece of sh*t goaltender can’t stop one bloody grade A shot. Not one. Just unreal.
Kris is a really good coach but KEN HOLLAND NEEDS TO GET A GOALIE HERE AND A GOOD ONE. Need more defensive players and defense man .,an offensive defense man wouldn’t hurts
Skinner and only he lost this game. He's been out of shape since the start of the season. He stands in the goal with the look that everyone got him with this hockey when he has so many other things to do..Even moves behind the puck without excitement and passion. The goalkeeper in this condition should go to the farm club. Campbell stood better, he was just unlucky with the poor performance of the team at that time, and then he was just assigned the blame. The guys played well, they would have won if it hadn't been for the terrible game of the goalkeeper.
Yeah, I don't know? Seems to me Oiler goalies are not of the elite kind. These wide open soccer net, lack of instinct, type of goals. Hmm, beats me what can be done about it.
Skinner would like one back at least he didn’t look ready when the puck went off Ekholm’s skate. Should always be ready, maybe the backup needs a game in to get going. Five goals on a little over twenty not so good.
Skinner is an AHL goalie acting as an imposter in the NHL. If we want to save the season we have to get a top goalie to steal 10 games for us this year. However to get that we will have to trade a top player with the salary restraints. However Holland will do nothing as he is in his last year of his contract. He doesn’t wanna trade away a star and ruin his “legacy”. We will be lucky if we make the playoffs this year. Other teams have figured out our PP and the numbers show it. Others have figured out how to limit McD and Drai and the numbers show it. We are in deep sh!t
The correct response is to play the back up goalie during the next game, as I think it’s clear that the goaltending sank the team in this game. The way the team kept getting the lead (2-1, 3-2, 4-3) was really impressive. That should have been enough to win it.
We looked so good last year because of the play of Mcdavid & Draisaitl… they’re definitely not as dominant this year. Bouchard needs to play with more intensity.

Kris "everything but score" Knoblauch
Power play is so predictable, they need to change it up. 29 also looked very uninterested today.
Mark “dumb question incoming” Spector
Matinee and a backup goalie on the other side. This game was finished before it started.
can only do so much with inconsistent goaltending.
Welcome Chris to the Edmonton Oilers goaltending. 😆🤣😆🤣
Play Pickard next game!

I guess replacing wood with a knob doesn’t just fix multiple serious issues.
Thanks McGM
What happened to the real Edmonton Oiler power play unit? The entire unit has vanished without a trace. I suddenly believe in UFOs. 👽
.783 save % says it all.
Terrible call on Ceci!
Bouchard and Eckholm were brutal!
they stopped playing as a team
Again we need a goalie, Holland are you listening. Time and time again.

McJesus was terrible ! Draisaddle uninterested and Skinner belongs back in the WHL ❗

Jay 'could have been a different game' Woodcroft

Edmonton “play a hard 20” oilers

Fire the coach!

They need a goalie that will play solid .. not Stuart he doesn’t deserve to be
Mocked like he is our starter goalie. We cannot abuse him.
Mcdavid is a minus 2 tonight. The oilers are on their 4th coach under Mcdavid…do we see a pattern?

Get a new goalie and trade that piece of sssssss #25

I feel like this guy has 6 kids in Africa
Goaltending was not the problem. Defense was.
Also another game with too many penalties.
R.i.p. 72-9-1 😢
This coach changes nothing. Fix your mistake holland and get woodcroft back before its too late FFS
Who trusts Holland to find a goalie without being fleeced six ways to Sunday?

Bouchard needs to play with more intensity.
The "impressive" winning streak is stopped and knoblauch is confronted with Oilers true face.
Put Skinner away or loose and loose again.
Horrible Goalie.
Skinner is to inconsistent never know what your gonna get out of him!
