EDMONTON OILERS face goaltending dilemma as dissatisfaction grows around Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard tandem.

The discussion covers the value of elite net minders, the impact of team environment on goalie performance, and whether reducing SKINNER’s workload could improve results. Zararis explores how the OILERS’ goaltending situation affects their championship aspirations during the prime years of CONNOR MCDAVID and LEON DRAISAITL.

Tune in for an in-depth look at the OILERS’ goaltending options and their implications for the team’s future. Will Holland make a move, or stick with the current tandem?

    I’ve heard it said 13-14% of games Skinner lets the first or second shot in. During playoffs it jumps to 20%. One in 5 games they’re playing from behind. Hope the new goalie coach helps!🎉

    The question about a new goalie coach for Skinner isn't just about whether or not it can improve his play, it's also about how long it will take to improve his play. Luongo, in an interview, said that after his devastating Cup loss with Vancouver, he worked with new coaches and it took him a good solid season to improve his game – and that's one of the best goalies of all time and a veteran, too. With Skinner, he's young, less experienced, less mature. How long will it take to see a lasting improvement in his game? It seems like a full season isn't unreasonable. So what? Next season in 26/27 is when the Oilers will see improvement in his game? That doesn't help them right now. It doesn't generate that pathway to winning multiple Cups that McDavid is looking for. It also assumes that the new goalie coach is any good and that Skinner will improve at all. There are goalie coaches on every team and a lot of crappy goalie situations. A new goalie coach isn't a magic panacea.
