blaming calvin pickard is a wild move. hes a more than capable backup but that requires there be a true starter in front of him. u can move forward with either goalie as the backup, but u need to find a legit number one to carry the load if u want to get to the next level

how will upgrading on the backup position make skinner any better suited to carry the oilers as a legit starter? explain it to me like im 5

Goaltending? Never heard of her Let's Go Oilers

Looks like my Wednesday night just opened up. No point in watching this bullshit anymore #LetsGoOilers

Gotta respect Bouchards ability to consistently give up on trying to play defence. Remarkable lack of determination

Skinner gets beat high with his blocker 10 inches off the ice. Takes elite skill to hit that small 2ft x 3ft opening

That’s a horse shit instigator call. Absolute joke

U have to stop and bury that chance. Thats bush league

This loss is going to be a dagger for the oilers.

Fuck off with the Stanley cup highlights already. Everyone remembers.

Trying to find individual fault in a 1-0 loss, against a goaltender that doesn’t know what a goal against looks like, is a fools errand. The oilers are trending in the right direction but they still lack the confidence needed to take the brakes fully off on offence.

Good on stu for keeping them in it but at some point they need to realize that this oiler team can’t defend their way to success. Thoroughbreds aren’t meant to pull wagons and plough fields. Let the boys run.

Imagine having a roster with Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid and being sad that you can’t out defend the Minnesota wild and their freakshow goaltender? Go put the fucking puck in the net. Defence doesn’t win championships

When Bouchard doesn’t want to compete, it really shows.

Impressive game from the oilers

Cmon Bouchard. U can’t possibly be this bad

That has to be at least the fifth retaliation penalty draisaitl has taken this season. Time to grow up, Leon

The oilers are not a defence first team. It’s about time the organization figured that the fuck out

Anyone know how to watch the battle of Alberta on an iPhone in the Caribbean? Free is best but not necessary

Draisaitl has to be hurt, right?
