  1. Skinner needs to be better. He literally lets in one or two super soft goals every game so far in the playoffs. Lets get Soup going.

  2. Imagine if literally anyone else on the team scored besides drai after his 4th we would have been right back in it, Leon is next level but can’t do it all himself , let’s get going boys!!!!

  3. I really think Vinny needs a break. Bring in some veteran experience who isn't subject to panic.

  4. Vinny needs to be benched for the rest of the playoffs, he's too green to be put into the playoffs. The team sat back and watched Drai do all the work last night. RNH has been completely invisible for the entire playoffs.

  5. I notice the oilers have a sloppy first period but after every intermission they step it up and adapt.

  6. NHL isn’t the training grounds, either put up or shut up. Results are the only thing that matters, win or lose the fans have the final say.

  7. Lavoie could be a great addition on right-wing providing size, strength, toughness and a lethal shot! Holloway could also add a huge boost of enthusiasm, great speed, size and Talent!!! Let's go Oilers!!!✌😊

  8. overall, he did a good job pushing a narative… he had a little hicup when he tried to define "defense"…. but all-in-all i'd give his performance 9/10

  9. Pattern pattern….at half the game you could already see is happening and you gotta do something about it ..

  10. Jay said they'd close off the LA series in game six – and they did. When he says they'll be better in the next game I believe him. Also, please let Desharnais ride the pine for awhile. He's becoming a real liability. GO OILERS!!!

  11. These media scrums with teams after they lose are kind of a waste of time, especially for the players and coaches. Pro sports athletes and coaches need every minute possible to rest and prep physically and mentally for the next game and the last thing they need is to have answer silly questions that don't really benefit the fans. That's what spokespeople and analysts are for. Sports can swing one way or another on any given day due to so many factors that beyond control. As a fan and former athlete, I say drop the media scrums and let the pros do their thing. We can be armchair quarterbacks all we want, but if we could do it better, we would be in the league.

  12. I appreciate Jay's honesty and ability to self-assess in a constructive way. I think Nuge needs to step up in a major way.

  13. I love how they’re all starting to give Spector and Mattheson (I think that’s the other ones last name) just shorter quicker answers. Those two are toxic & always looking for a storyline instead of asking the important questions. Someone suggested fans should be able to ask the questions and I love that 😂 that would be real entertainment. But besides that confidence is a huge part of the play and some of these reporters try to bring them down & only talk about the negatives.

  14. Did the game get changed again I thought they played Friday now it’s Saturday what’s going on with the schedule

  15. Seemed like they were at 50% yesterday except for Draisatl.
    Hopefully they can adjust and find the back of the net throughout the lineup.
