  1. Pickard moves better laterally and it’s a better fit against Florida. He battles to see pucks and shooters. A complete different style than Skinner. We are lucky to have both. Skinner played great against Vegas and Dallas because his style suited the way they play.

  3. I don’t like what that coach just said when you’re not playing well, they scored three goals and two out of the three of them was on a power-play which one of them I might add was a two-man penalty against Oilers.

  4. you have 1 consistent goalie Calvin.the reason woodcroft is gone is because of skinner.why bench Troy then bring him back in game 5 again that just distroy a guys confidence.

  5. I imagine this game will be sloppy for both teams. It’s gonna be who can handle the travel from Florida to Edmonton the best & which team is tired. Oil should have a leg up as they got to sleep in their own beds.

  6. lol he could of easily gone down the pete dobour route, but he didn't. props on knobby for backing up stu.

  7. Man, Knoblauch has to be the best coach in the league for reading the pulse of his team, knowing what moves to make (and when) both in-game and in between games. Moreover, he's brilliant at motivating guys through various tactics without messing with their heads. For instance, he's taken guys out when they haven't been at their absolute best (e.g. Arvidsson), and then gives them the chance to immediately use that disappointment as motivation and fire to prove their value instead of sitting for days on end losing confidence and getting frustrated. Stecher sat for most of the game after a costly error, and he gets the chance to get right back in there and prove himself. What I read from that was that his sitting wasn't punishment or due to a lack of trust, it was educational. He was part of the action without being in it. He got to see and feel (i.e. study) what was happening on the ice,—how the Panthers work, what the defence did when they handled the pressure well, and what they did that got them into trouble, and to be a part of the energy of the moment—to get accustomed and comfortable to be able to play his normal game. There are a lot of things you can only absorb by being right there, yet not amongst the fray.

  8. I think it has to be stated that this is his second season with the Oiler's and hes already made the cup finals TWICE. Kris' first year he came into a team who had gotten off to the worst start they have ever had, and people thought they were done for the season. This is the great thing about being a fan , is that you see the greatness from where it started to where it is now, and it just shows how much everyone deserves to lift the Stanley Cup!

  9. Why does media sound more misinformed than my 10 year old.

    🤔

    Do we even need media coverage anymore. What is media’s purpose anymore? No one cares what questions they have.

  10. I owe you responsible of this 2025 Stanley cup!
    Why? Your team is exceptional but lack of you guidance playing most of the time shooting long thr wall??? Hoping to get the puck at the ends
    Not enough strategy and passes and this is not a ballet dancing on ice pal!!!!!!😮😮

  11. Every player was so off, Leon cause so many issues, eckholm was horrific, it was the worst passing I have seen all season……..wtf
