I have to say this, it felt really good his play in net. I don't know, his play in goal, it's like he fit and was comfortable. When there were scrambles, I thought, oh no, here we go. But they didn't score on him
This man is the 3rd Goalie we need. Good thing to give him some NHL Reps while Campbell re-sets to get him acclimated to the Oilers processes…we need Campbell and Skinner and Picard all ready and running. I like Picards steady mature style. He has done his job well @ the NHL level in the toughest position of all with limited opportunities so all arrows are pointing up.
I've been saying all along, that the Oilers should give Pickard more of a chance. Technically, he still leads all Oilers AND Condors goalies in save percentage and GAA (small sample size I know). He's proven to be a decent back-up level goalie plus he earned this start. I thought that the team was going to give him the next start against Chicago as well as the first of the back-to-back on the road against NJ. I'm glad that Knoblauch started him a game earlier. Nice logical move. Do NOT bring back Campbell until he earns it by being consistently good. Campbell seems like a great guy, but as a pro-athlete at the highest level, you need to be consistently good.
Great game Pickard, and another stupid question from Spector. Can we fire him or move him before he ruins the confidence of another player. Gosh i cant stand him
Calvin to me is a NHL goalie. Plays very calm, relaxed and positions well. I'm no goalie expert whatsoever but I feel calm and relaxed as a fan watching him play. I say give this guy more starts and get a bigger sample size. Guys love him in the dressing room as well. Why mess with that and sell the farm to bring some new goalie in.
he needs to stay, the most confident looking goaltender oil have had in a long time. no disrespect to skinner hes playing awesome lately also this could b an awesome tandem.

He needs to play more.

They should ban Mark Spector from Oilers interviews, seriously

Pickard will take thestarting job
Tomorrow’s headlines Pickard signs a 5 million per year for 5 years contract
Watched you and your bro when I was coming up. Great work!
Atta boy Picks!
keep him and skinner . try to trade campbell…
I think the goalie coach in Bakersfield deserves a lot of credit…Olivier Rodrigues has great numbers also!
Campbell’s replacement
I want to see this guy play his way onto this team full time.
I’m cheering for Pickard. I hope he plays more and challenge Skinner. Have the mindset to be #1 and not just a backup or #3 goalie.
Making the Maritimes proud!
Trade him for a real goalie

🤦♂️ Spector and his stupid questions
Great last question spec about savouring games at his age – make him feel good why don't ya….
You're playing well. Please stay away from the Schwartz kool aid. Game plan for your next start…ignore Schwartz, stop pucks.
It was so nice not having to listen to spectors dumb questions for a bit there, needs to be banned from the league lol, get outta here ya bum!
I feel very comfortable watching the game when he is the goalie! Hope to see him play more!
Keep Pickard up with Skinner. He has earned it.
he needs to stay, the most confident looking goaltender oil have had in a long time. no disrespect to skinner hes playing awesome lately also this could b an awesome tandem.
