they still drive me nuts with the defense getting sluggish as soon as they are 3-4 goals ahead. If those 2 goals would not have been called back this would have been a much closer game. With Yamamoto's penalty they skated around like "so what if they score…" Pisses me off they should be using it as a practice to be solid defensively throughout regardless if they are that far ahead or not!
Tonight the team made it their way. They showed up. Vinny played great again. Skinner played well. Best all around effort in a while. The BJ’s need a beating as well. Get to YEG …
Great game and game-management Oilers – well, except for some defensive lapses after you were up 6-1. … So … since you destroyed a team by dumping the puck in and chasing it, why not do that against the very good teams?
FORGET Karlsson… don't waste anymore time on a trade that won't happen… Holland needs to concentrate on trades that CAN happen. Mike Grier has his mind set on Broberg and won't get off from it probably.
I agree with some of the comments…Skinner was good but not great…but for the 2 goals called back it would have been 4 goals on 22 shots for an .818 save percentage.
Why doesn’t Ken holland want Jakob chychurn he’s a top 2 defensemen and he’s has a cheap contract and he’s young. Just give 2 first’s and Evan Bouchard and it’s not like we’re going to get Conner Bedard. Great job on the videos
They need to string together more games like this. It's important to show the GM that he should add some more depth for the playoffs, but not mortgage the future.
Yeah, Shore gets way too much crap from Reid Wilkins. Every time he mentions a "13th forward that lacks skill", he says "Devon Shore". Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan or Reid's show, but in his mind, "lack of skill" = Devon Shore, and that's just not fair.
Skinner wasnt good. Although most Oilers fans hate Cambell who has put the Oilers in a great position since DEC. SKINNER HAD HOW MANY DECENT SAVES LAST NIGHT THAT WERE SCORING CHANCES? 3?

Excellent game for the Oilers!

Jarry got yanked after 40 (after giving up 6 unanswered).
McDavid was ridiculous AKA McDavid
4 Oilers with multipoint nights (Connor with 4 including both a PP and a Penalty Shot goal)
Nuge with his 600th Career Point
Shore scored for the first time since St. Patricks day LAST YEAR
Good Depth Scoring
Skinner would have been over a .950 Save %age if Yamo didn't take the penalty late in the 3rd
LA Lost in OT (so they got a point), Calgary leading Vegas in the 1st, Boston / Seattle still to come
Oilers currently in 3rd place in the Conference (2nd in the Division) pending Vegas and Seattle games
Now if they can just keep it up
Well Patrick I was wrong about Skinner 🤯 but he didn't have many shoots at him ! Good win Oilers 💯👍🏾🇨🇦

Perfect Game Tonight 😁😁

Poor Puljujarvi can’t buy a goal. I think the team really likes the kid.
Holland
“Well Jesse. I can’t move you but you’re welcome to stay for 1.25 and not a penny more”
It's to bad the oilers got gm Holland and Bob still there they need to dress kostin
I agree with some of the comments…Skinner was good but not great…but for the 2 goals called back it would have been 4 goals on 22 shots for an .818 save percentage.
of course tonight all Oiler fans now have to grit their teeth and cheer for Calgary to beat Vegas…. just feels dirty to cheer for the Flames
Outstanding effort. Need to ride 11/7.
We are a bigger family now😁🇨🇦
We still need a great deal 😁🇨🇦
Leafs Oilers image that🤣🇨🇦
I think Skinner is just Skimming the surface on his talents 😁🇨🇦
We are a progressive movement going forward 😁🇨🇦

“epiphany519” posted 91.7 goal save %. Low pressure for Skinner w lots of help from the team. 92GS% is great in my books. Indeed he was good.
