Jarry was on a far worse team and had the same numbers as Skinner. Jarry will be better with the Oilers.
Imo, the Oilers can either solidify their defense ( inconsistent right now) or find a Patrick Roy or Bobrovsky to tend the net.
4 seasons in a row, they lose to the cup winner.
Oilers aren’t done looking for another goalie yet, they need a tandem that can win every game, Pickard isn’t that goalie.
The best remedy to noise is wins.
Edmonton is being hurt by a lack of a 3rd line and on most nights a 4th line. And Bouchard's play early in the season. They've been better as of late and are now winning more. That bottom 6 is ugly though especially Frederic and Mangiapane.
Sub 900 still for more than twice the cost. Trade makes no sense
Jarry is another version of Skinner 😂 so why ask if Edmonton is closer to winning the cup? ahahahaha maybe ask that question if Edmonton actually gets themselves and actual goalie that does something 😂
simpletons are saying it was "Fan Pressure" that moved Skinner, frankly I think he's a Jack Campbell waiting to happen(which Oilers are still paying)
Skinner is better with rebounds. That’s about it, maybe he’s also more durable.
The Oilers need ‘D’
Defensively brutal
why do they mention 2 cup finals like Skinner's play got the oilers to the finals. he crapped the bed on the biggest stage. it wouldnt have gone to game 7 if he played better
Colby Armstrong is one of worst 'analysts' I've ever seen or heard. An absolute clown.
Jarry has the Smith style of play, he's going to work out. 100%
Its not the goalie. Its the Defense. Douchard holds the world record for giving assists to the other team.
He has 2 wins in 2 games as an oiler. Already 100x better than Skinner ever was.
nope the oilers just need 2 great defencemen
We can’t just keep Stu forever because he is a local boy and has an outstanding moustache..
The Oilers weren't winning those playoff rounds due to Stuart Skinner. He was pulled 10 times over the course of the past two playoff runs. Do any of these goofs even watch the games?
He went to back to back stanley cups because of McDavid not him
Lmao not with human pylons like bouchard n nurse. Jarry Skinner 2.0. Need whole new def3nse core than maybe conference final again
NOPE !
Skinner stunk,but defence stinks as well.
