Who survives longer, Knoblauch or Skinner?
Skinner is horrible. His fundamentals are so obscure. His lateral movement is terrible. He lets in so many shots on the first shot of the game. Deflates the whole team. Night after night. Get rid of both of them.
I used to play goalie (those were great years), and to see my defense not play or even try, lose every board battle and just not care, I'd be pissed. Not defending Skinner, but the team has lost all aspirations and the locker room is a funeral home. "Goalie insight."
This thumbnail ☠️😂
Idk why you guys still haven’t got a goal tender I could’ve told you you needed a new one a year ago yes you did it make to 2 sc finals but you know what skinner isn’t going to play good enough to win a cup for you all. And Mcdavid is closing
The Utah game, and the ones against lightning and Panthers are good.
they are saving up for the olympics…so simple why cant you turds figure it out
No goaltender could do good on this iilers team
I've watched 5 cups, was very happy times
It is so very frustrating that its so bad , I'm thinking even the Condors could beat them. Im so glad I had the privilege to watch the Gretzky Era they were pounding teams and no joke when Gretzky was on the ice you were like holy hell what am I witnessing here.
Way to call it out as it is Austin, because it is so bad …wish Bowman never came to this Organization!
I think now it’s my opinion Connor Mcdavid is looking like he lost his faith and confidence we need a leader who is enthusiastic maybe 2 Stanley cup L affected him.. defense is a big problem too but whole team is looking clueless and A new watcher will not believe that this team appeared in Stanley cup finals
Yeah, the DAL guy in the blue paint all by himself, with two D men behind the net and Skinner like a fish out of water. Fuckin horrible. Also letting a goal in the first 5 shots every game you cannot have a winning record. The fact the Oilers are .500 is remarkable. LFG OIL COUNTRY! 20 game heater coming, wake up boys. Get fuckin hungry. Roll 4 lines, not 4 players KNOB
Pan the bench after a goal in first 5 shots……..what you see is a team that feels no matter what they do theyre going to lose because of shit giveaways, bad positioning, and a goalie that goes down before the puck is shot EVERY TIME
This is why I stopped watching thr team this year. Not gonna waste any time watching them play until they get a new goalie
Feeling hopeless. This version of the Oil just no good. No good at all
Where is a 1998 CuJo when you need one?
I hear alexander giorgiev is available 😂
Stu is ok, he's been to two Stanley Cup finals you can't do that without playing well. Our defense needs work.
STOP BLAMING THE GOALIES, it was the team fault, skinner was our best player and we should gave him the max contract for all the trouble and hes our number 1 goalies for the future. so sign him 10×10. blame 97 and 29 for falling off and no leadership
We need a new Goaltender, put Draisaitl between the post and maybe nextime less Knoblauch and more Zwiebeln!?! 🤔
Yeah all the Oilers need is a 8 by 4 sheet of plywood (Goaltender upgrade), move out Mangiapane and Frederic and pretend that Hyman is still the same as pre-injury, teach RNH to play two way hockey, convince Los Angeles and New Jersey to send back Perry and Brown at no cost, convince St. Louis to send back Holloway and Broberg and get about 3-6 bottom forwards and oh yeah FIRE THE ENTIRE OILER MANAGEMENT!!!! Oiler fans are caught up in the moment it's over. Done. I can see the same thinking on the Titanic. Maybe if we all grabbed a bucket and started bailing water we can save this ship. Nothing. Nothing is going to make the Oilers a serious contender this year. I am sure they will make the playoffs but do not be surprised if they go down in the first or second round and with the cap situation tight for the 2026-27 season you can expect a replay of this year. If McDavid doesn't leap then the 2027-28 season will be the end of the McDavid era in Edmonton. Myself, I would rather the Oilers trade him today, to Colorado as at the moment they are the front runners with Dallas right behind them. Thats right the West is heating up while the Oilers are cooling down. Hope Edmonton fans will bring the Oilers management to the point that trading McDavid to a contender is best for everyone. Oiler fans can celebrate McDavid hoisting the cup. It just will not be in Edmonton.
I understand the goalie feelings. As an AVs fan until last December the fans were begging for league average tending. Does the AVs system give a goalie bump? maybe, you can look at Grubauer and Kempure (I still really like Kempure). A guy who can stop most of the ones that get past the skaters makes a world of difference.
How do you blame a goalie when the rest of the team only scores 1 goal!
