Vasi played unreal… We’re still 8-2-0 (7-2-1 is a playoff lock) Man it’d be nice to have a solid defensive RHD With Nurse/Brown/Campbell making a combined $18,000,000 we wont be getting a pivotal player.
It's not so much that we were goalied it's the fact that our goalie let in 2 of the first 4 shots and let in 3 goals on 8 shots in the 3rd, not including the 2 empty neters He let in 3 goals he should of saved.
They got goalied…8–0 they can't win them all. Take it out on Florida….BUT……Food for thought. when was the last time the Oilers "goalied" another team? It has happened to Edmonton more than a few time's this year. When is it our turn?
Rotten way to have the win streak end, especially after a solid 40 or so minutes starting at the halfway point of the first. But like Ray Ferraro said on the NHL games, "when you go on a long winning streak, eventually you're gonna lose one". Same goes for teams on a long losing streak. Eventually they're going to win one like Seattle did the other night. We'll have a chance to start a new win streak on Saturday against the Florida Panthers, who have had a really hard time even scoring a goal lately. 5 consecutive periods they have gone without a goal, maybe longer before their last game in Seattle, and with over 5 minutes left in the 3rd in Vancouver, it looks like at least 6 straight periods without a goal for the Panthers.
I talked during the second intermission about how Dangerous Stamkos is in the dying mins of a game. As he ages, he reminds me of Brett Hull in his last 5 years. The ability to be invisible in a 3rd period and then BANG! Nail one in the dying mins and win the game with one quick touch of the puck. As for Skinner, he's not a starter. During that streak, he played some good games, but he was also saved from the day by the Oilers firepower, rather then saved the day. Get Pickard some starts already!! Find out what he is and what he's got before Management way overpays for another God only knows who. I don't pretend to be a good hockey mind, but I'd hope that would be common sense at this point!)
Tough too loose and especially in this fashion, very winnable game but that comeback was abysmal, skinner was absolute garbage this game. I had a very good feeling they were going to loose, but I’m just upset it was like this. Hopefully a bounce back vs Florida

Tough one. 50+ shots usually wins a game. Skinner had a bad game. Let’s hope they get over it and move on to start winning again
We’ll get the next 8
More than 40 shots… that’s not a good sign😬😬😬
It's not as ugly as ugly can be. Basically a 5 to 4 loss. Skinner sucked needed one more save.

Agreed! Just ran into a hot goalie. The effort was great and that’s what will carry on to the next game.
Vasilevsky with a .950 and Skinner with another game in the .700s
Vasi stole that one. Not a good game for Skinner.
Drai MIA for a couple games. Need better from him.
got goalied! but I'm confident that they will bounce back.
Skinner's 77% save percentage wasn't good enough for a win? I don't think that qualifies him for a backup either

So whats the latest in oiler goalie trade talk they will not win when it matters with ol skinner pretty damn simple!

The last 13+ minutes of the third period are the epitome of the expression "life comes at you fast".
One team has a great goalie
The other one not so much
Skinner lost this single handedly. Cost us our streak.
Just need to get the shots down to 10 agsinst and keep ours at 50. Then Skinner can help us.
Skinner
Back to reality
Love this team so much but every game exemplifies how much we need a goalie.
I blame the loss on Vassi. He took away at least 4 goals during that game
