I was waiting for something like this to come out. I agree, especially after the last few games. They just brought Ingram up here, had him play 10 games and said he’s better. But, he at one point had a .914 and has slowly gone down to a .897. Jarry can stay as our starter because that makes sense. And sure, Picks has has a bad start. But, lots of times his numbers went down was after he had to go in in relief of Skinner and there are so many reasons Picks needs to stay over Ingram. First of all, Jarry knows him from Oil Kings and they have a good goaltending relationship, he is so valuable in the locker room, of course his playoff success, and he has the exact same career SV% as Ingram, except has years more experience.
Side am I on?…Reality Side..If the playoffs started tomorrow and you ask "what goalie gives you the BEST chance?"…RIGHT NOW??…Easily Pickard Number 1, Ingram 2, Jarry 3..Unless magically changes by trade deadline?
Winter needs to get Calvin out of edm a graveyard for goalies.he is deserving of an opportunity elsewhere and get Calvin a generational contract with a good team
At the end of the day Stan bowman is ruining our back to back Stanly Cup finals team we need better players in front of our goalie that's that our bottom 6 is not cutting it d fence is questionable not all but some
The Oilers have a track record, and it's not good! They did the same thing with Jack Campbell who had a better record than Stewart Skinner. The team was not playing well, and management used Jack to shake the guys up. Good for Pickard's agent! 'Hope the Oilers pay the price with this decision.

Holy glazing
Calvin was okay. But never improved. He and Stu were two of the worst goalies statistically.
Love picks but his agent is smoking crack.

Pickard is ok, the Oiler have a defensive issue and there trying to fix it. Easiest just to blame the golie
Too much of a distraction for his level of play. Cut him.
Pickard’s side for multiple reasons
Pickard was given so many chances. He just isnt good enough
I'd send Jarry down tbh. He's not working out and injury prone. But they won't do that. I like Ingram more atm though.

He's probably correct. Bowman has assembled a Goaltending trio of Slightly above average capabilities… 3 very mediocre Goalies.. Good job GM

If all it take is being a good guy to make the NHL, I still wouldn’t have made it but lots of other guys would have.
All I’ll say is idk if I’m a jarry fan
Pickards a backup, he didn't do anything more than that.. no one hates in him, but giving other guys a chance
I like Pickard more then Jarry who imo is sloppy and shows the same lack of awareness that Skinner had when it comes to sliding out of the crease.
