Goaltending was one of many major issues for the Oilers out of the gate this season, but it doesn’t seem to be much of an issue anymore. What has Stuart Skinner done to turn things around? And while they’re playing well enough to take leads, it was another blown opportunity by Toronto. What’s the feeling around the Maple Leafs after another loss? TSN’s Mark Masters and Ryan Rishaug join Jay Onrait to discuss the game between the Oilers and Maple Leafs on Tuesday night.

Av’s fan. Hate the Oilers. But I certainly don’t want them to suck because I want to see them in the playoffs. 11 wins in a row is crazy.
Mark masters a fruit cup looking guy I like it

Great stuff guys!
Is it a strength if Skinner gets hurt?
Oilers need a better backup for Skinner still
Drai's goal was on point. I don't know if Jones or anyone would have played that differently. It seems all the modern goalies are the same style. Turn back the clock 10-15 years, you'd have almost 100% of goalies pushing out and challenging and that goal would have never been scored. Fine, the right side of the net is exposed but a functioning D-core would have their men covered and negate that threat.

So many salty Leafs fans in the comments, RIP to your season
Dont kid yourselves…the Oiler goalies are sieves when push comes to shove.
No. The Oilers are a fantastic team with average goaltending. Just like my team, the Avalanche. If the team plays more to its potential, they win. When they don't, the goalies look bad.
The Oilers are going into Mcdavids most important year of his Prime to date…charging to the Playoffs without a Starting NHL Goaltender behind him…. Smith/Koskinnen…mismanaged(result playoff destruction)….Campbell/Skinner….mismanaged(result playoff destruction)….Campbell, Pickard,Skinner mismanaged as a trio….. incoming result (likely playoff destruction)….are you joking that the Oilers Goaltending is a strength?
As an oilrs fan stubhas been going off but we need goaloe depth for the playoffs.
But what does this have to do with the Leafs?
Your reporting is hot garbage.
Tune in next week when they need to trade for a goalie.

Better team defense has a strange way of making the goalie look good.
Let's see how the next 10 games go. Bad streaks tend to bite big time with momentum
No!
Maybe focus less on your "diversity" hires, and hire someone who knows how to properly mix audio. Your channel is the absolute worst for any audio consistency.
YES!!…..Skinner was at the All-Star Game last year, a Calder Candidate and took the team to the second round….IN HIS FIRST REAL SEASON!!!….He is 25, an Edmontonian, signed to a very reasonable contract, is loved by fan's and team….AND WANTS TO BE HERE…..Most Teams would gladly take that.
Pickard is 4–1, looks like an NHL goalie, is 31 and has BOTH NHL regular season AND PLAYOFF experience….Rodrigue has insane AHL numbers, is young and is knocking at the NHL door.
BOTH Skinner and Rodrigue rave about what a great team mate and how supportive Jack Campbell is…
Maybe, in a weird way, Soupy's time here has not been wasted after all?
Hopefully Skinner can maintain this consistency in the playoffs if we make them, which I believe we will
