Other than Bouchard and ekholm, the rest of the defense aren’t hard enough defending in front of skinner and they cannot ever shoot the puck from the blue line
don't give a fcuk if these players are professionals, as the coach if your not going to sit down the team and tell them individually straight up how garbage they playing then we lost the series. nurse Skinner and a few others need a reality check
So many turnovers in our own zone the last two games! We could have been up 3-0 or down 0-3. So many avoidable mistakes. And the players say “it happens in the playoffs”. From Skinner and Nurse.
I think with Roope back, oilers are doomed. Robo was playing below average until Roopes returned. Three solid lines that can just score and always a threat. I thought only Mcdavid, Bouchard and Brown stood out to me today. Nurse, Ekholm, Ceci, Vinny all had troubles today and need to put up a full 60 minute effort
Edmonton loves to point fingers, every team has a bad loss, and their job is to bounce back asap and fix those mistakes….Kris Knoblauch is the best head coach Edmonton has had since Craig McTavish.
Why no time out after tied goal? Why no time out with goalie pulled? Why not start pickard in the third, he would have saved that fourth goal. Why put Nurse with Cece, sit Nurse add Broberg😂. Sorry knob 4th goal was very bad
First year coach coaching like the 1st year coach… no fault here but clearly he does not possess any playoff smarts and know-how. I dont know how you would make this team wanting to win the cup.they clearly did not look like they wanted. I am confident oilers will not win another champisonshop during my lifetime. Its so sad
Desharnais , MCLOUD out put defense line pairings like game 1 PERIOD DEFENSE STAY OUT OF GOALIES CREASE AND LINE OF SIGHT CHECK THEM AT BLUE LINE TIME FOR PICKARD PERIOD GIVE NURSE NIGHT OFF PUT KANE DRAI AND MCDAVID WITH ECKHOLM AND BOUSHARD EVERY 8 MINS INCREASES GOAL POTENTIAL .
DIDNT KRIS WATCH ANY OF WOODIES SUCCESSFUL LINE PAIRINGS FROM LAST YEAR .THEY WORKED OILERS NEED IT NOW MORE THEN EVER
Sit nurse – how many goals have gone off his body/skate/screening our goalie etc. also the penalty he took late in 3rd period. Unacceptable. Trade that guy and free up our 9+million for better defenders.

This guy is the beneficiary of a solid roster. He is an average coach.

Start Pickard.
Not entirely Skinners fault but he has looked shaky in the net and that 4th goal was bad which lost the game.
skinner needs a break poor goals need Calvin in the nets please play him
Skinner has shown us his true colours numerous times. He’s a solid first rate BACKUP. Start and stick with Pickard until he needs relief.
I think McD just needs to dive and highstick a bit more and the Oilers could bounce back

Its so sad
Awful coaching throughout the playoffs
Skinner should be benched for that squaker he let in on the side of net against Robertson
Desharnais , MCLOUD out
put defense line pairings like game 1 PERIOD
DEFENSE STAY OUT OF GOALIES CREASE AND LINE OF SIGHT
CHECK THEM AT BLUE LINE
TIME FOR PICKARD PERIOD
GIVE NURSE NIGHT OFF
PUT KANE DRAI AND MCDAVID WITH ECKHOLM AND BOUSHARD EVERY 8 MINS INCREASES GOAL POTENTIAL .
DIDNT KRIS WATCH ANY OF WOODIES SUCCESSFUL LINE PAIRINGS FROM LAST YEAR .THEY WORKED OILERS NEED IT NOW MORE THEN EVER
Dallas has isolated the mcdavid, drai, hyman line.
you need to rotate kane , holloway, Foegele,
Is it Jack Campbell time?
– Defense – stay out of the GOAL crease – stop all incoming rush plays at the blue line – forcheck your man – Let goalie do his job , you do yours
Sit nurse – how many goals have gone off his body/skate/screening our goalie etc. also the penalty he took late in 3rd period. Unacceptable. Trade that guy and free up our 9+million for better defenders.
was knoblauch a porn star in quebec previously?
