After back to back loses this past weekend could the Oilers be losing confidence in their goaltending tandem.
Today Devan Dubnyk joined the show to break down some of the goals against this past weekend and where they could look to be upgrading come the trade deadline.
What do you think the Oilers should do with their goaltending heading into the playoffs?

Funny cuz the last time I checked….every team in the league had 2 weeks off….so why are none of the other teams having trouble with, "rust"???!
Dubnyk sucked here,he was not focused he was to involved in politics to do his job.He disrespected Nail Yakupov …..Dubnyk was brutalized by …2-3 strides over the blueline bar-down…
Great interview. Can you PLEASE ask the next NHL goalie that you have on the show how important the goaltending goalie coach is and if a change of goalie coach really makes that much of a difference? Tired of seeing the “fire Schwartz” comments from people who are obviously not NHL goalies! Let’s either confirm or debunk this common narrative.
Absolutely not a goalie issue. Team issue
5:30 Bouchards screening goalie caused the goal against .
Were second in the pacific, I am sure we will be fine.
THERE ARE 5 Other PLAYERS THE INCOMING PLAY HAS TO PASS.
TOO MANY DEFENCE MEN PUCK CHASING AND SCREENING AND CROWDING GOALIE .
+ NO MATTER WHO Is IN NET, UNTIL DEFENCE SMARTENS UP, IT WON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE PERIOD
A team that plays bad defense makes their goalie look bad. I say keep the goalies and figure out how the team played last year during the win streak when they were letting in less than 3 goals a game.
Why didn't anyone ask about Dustin Shwartz ? Dubnyk left and Hola took off under Sean Burke…
Is Mike Smith still limber?
Said b4 say it again skinner is perfect back up picard is a ahl goali sorry to say
Not going anywhere with those two sorry to say
Starts with Schwartz. They have had him for the better part of a decade with no success. This is old boys club 2.0
Could we replace Schwartz with Dubnyk?
The big thing I notice with our goalies compared to the rest of the league is they have a lack of fluidity and flexibility, and honestly, a lack of desperation, when compared to even goalies like Georgiev. And it’s not just one, but both of them. They don’t have great lateral movement, and I can’t remember the last time I saw Skinner do the splits to make a save (without making it look painful and like he was an 80 year old man). I’m not going to put this on our goalies, it’s most likely the way they’re being trained, especially since both of them are like that. Skinner is very good at making the positional save on wristlets, however, when the opposing team gets in close, swarms the crease, and when he’s facing an odd-man rush, he looks (as Devan said) uncomfortable and tight.
The bomber gets mentioned often, along with turnovers.
Honestly, how does Dustin Schwartz still have a job at this point. 10 plus years of mediocrity
I think it's only fair to mention how much better these two goaltender's numbers would be without all of Bouchard's Highlight giveaways.
How about leaving the same players on the same lines for a few game and let them develop more chemistry. All in all,they are a lazy team that doesn't take the man.
It's not hard to figure out man. Idiots ran Koskinen out to get Campbell, who had worse numbers on a team with better D. When that backfired, like I knew it would, then then NEED Skinner to be great or they look like fools for running out Koskinen. Problem is, is that Skinnner isn't close to being a starter, and those genius's are just now starting to come to terms with reality. Yes, they are very good at name calling and demanding people that are right be kicked out of their online moron circles but they sure are Grade A fools when it comes to hockey. Now it's all Shwart's fault?? OMG, some people never learn. Just admit the Truth, and get a real #1 already.
The oldest team in the league does NOT need another old guy to settle the team down. No.
Stop butterflies, just play square…..annoying when you have the angle, your 6'4 and they roof it. Embarrassing.
All hail the glorious Capitals
It's the Schwartz. He has to go.
Ladies & Gentlemen can we get a big round of applause, new and improved goaltending coach for the Edmonton Oilers Devan Dubnyk. 👏
