Dont count your Chickens before they hatch, NEVER CELEBRATE BEFORE THE GAME IS WON. I was really frustrated in this game man, I was absolutely devastated for Stu. He played his heart out.
Skinner was a gem! What the hell was with this team hanging him out to dry. Just watch how easy they let Carolina just skate into our zone, and they squeezed us in their zone. We are needing some defense so badly.
Feel bad for Skinner? If you look at the game in a vacuum then of course but he was sub .860 save percentage coming into the game after several starts. It’s not good enough and it’s never been good enough. Not saying the oilers can’t win the cup with him as their goalie but it’ll be in spite of him but 9/10 he’s the second best goalie on the ice. No one wants to hear it but it’s the Alberta nepotism with players like him and Kulak who are both good but can be improved and with terrible contracts like Nurse and RNH the club are going to have to figure a way out to get the most out of 97’s tenure. Knoblauch might be in jeopardy if he can’t get results in the next dozen games
I totally agree with you about Janmark. Skinner makes that amazing save then Janmark shoots the puck around the boards which was easily picked up by the Carolina defence and then boom in it goes!!
McDavid showed that he can basically score on demand when he just shoots it himself. Why bother passing to his lesser lights? I know…I know. He’s being a good teammate and trying to jumpstart his wingers, but come on. Win the game first. Agree re: scratch Nurse. Let him ponder his future from the press box.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss ken holland already. While he did make mistakes, they are nowhere near as bad as bowmans so far. How do you take a cup contending team and completely purge it? This is absolutely nuts. I have no words for this anymore....
I'm gonna be honest... I can't watch the Oilers right now... I watch hockey to get away from my worldly stresses, and all they do right now is add to my stresses... I know it's just a game, and I shouldn't be so emotionally invested, but I just can't do that... If I don't want to be stressed about the Oilers, I just simply can't pay attention to them.
@@homielander5924 I hate giving up on them.. I’ve never been a fair weather fan when I can help it… but I just can’t handle watching them choke right now.. especially after last year.
+1 for nixing the wave.. not only is it annoying and shows people aren't paying attention, but it's distracting and disruptive for those that are watching the game... I'm an old man though.. maybe it's just my knees XD
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! I was concerned already at 2-1 goal and see no reason whatsoever for a wave, unless it is 8-1 as you said. Also, despite not trusting Stu, he was a rock in this game, agreed. However the problem you mention with the 'wave', is bigger in general in the North-American Sports-Culture, including unfortunately in the NHL and in Edmonton/Rogers Place. I do not see it as appropriate not even to have loud music DURING THE GAME and when the ref is stopping the game, IT TAKES AWAY FROM THE SPORT event, from the real-fan concentration on the game, to start with. Even much worse, the 'yelling young lady' in the Rogers Place in Edmonton, doing all sorts of funny/happy games when it is say 4-0 for the Jets, or even after they just scored she comes and yells about some happy game as if that is my happiest day of my life??? The show 'takes precedence' over the (real) FANs and PLAYERs who may be down, thinking, trying to get out of a pit in their thoughts and you bombard them with hard-rock and some happy 'game' in the 'stands'???
I would LOVE if you could post the audio of these videos as podcasts to Spotify, apple podcast, ect. Makes it a lot easier to listen, and I really like hearing your insights :)
as soon as i seen 97 29 2 on that last faceoff i knew it was over. they already played 3:30 of that OT ok ya lets put em out again and hope they dont breakdown defensively......oh crap. reality we didnt deserve the game it should have been 4/5 goals for carolina, how many wide open nets did they just miss like 3? Skinner sliding all over the ice out of position huge rebounds, he didnt lose it alone either not a single player played 60 minutes. This team has zero hitting or grind to them teams just walk around them and nobody fears board play, all show no grit.
Oilers Defence was easy Pickens for elite Hurricanes group. Oilers might have to trade Jeff Skinner for a defenceman. Losing Holloway and Broberg and Ceci is proving costly.
Ban the wave while also waiving Dermott, that tying goal was such a disgrace to hockey. Also we’re wasting 6.25 million dollars on this team with Nuge Oilers gotta learn get rid of your assets before they turn into a complete negative and all he’s done is refuse to move his feet so if he’s still struggling move him at the deadline. Sign Shattenkirk to a minimum.
Love your post game reactions🤣🤣 I always have so many things I get frustrated about and I'm basically the opposite of biased towards the team but anyway keep it up! Also, I don't get what McDavid did before the OT goal but it is what it is...
The entire hockey world outside of the oilers office (and some fans I guess) saw the need to bolster the defensive side of the game. What do they do? Well what they always do of course. Sign more forwards lol. Why can’t this team all play well at the same time? Skinner gets hot and the team lets him down.
Aside from "the wave," the crowd taunting the goalie's name slowly is kinda bad luck. Unless the home team is up by 5 😁. Skinner surely silenced all the haters tonight.
This was the most electric and also the most frustrating game all season. WHY can’t these guys just WIN? Something always seems to go wrong. It’s so hard to be a fan of this franchise.
Putting inappropriate 'show' when Oilers are not doing well aside, I am starting to believe that the Oilers (Players) given last 2+ games where they can't show good hockey for more than ~30 minutes, shows that A) many are physically not top fit after last long season (despite declarations otherwise) and B) some are hurt, and the Oilers are hiding it still, such as Draisaitl, possibly McDavid, etc. We've been outskated heavily by the rest teams, most of them. Not talking about speed, overall physical combat.

Skinner played above his weight class, you can't put this on him at all. His team needs to help him out.
💯 everybody rags on him when he lets in a questionable goal. He was outstanding today. Deserved better!
I feel bad for skinner man, hung out to dry on all 3 goals imo and stood on his head.
💀💀💀

You feel the same way about the wave as I do when the fans start getting on the other goalie. It always seems to make them play amazing and I hate it.
McDavid showed that he can basically score on demand when he just shoots it himself. Why bother passing to his lesser lights? I know…I know. He’s being a good teammate and trying to jumpstart his wingers, but come on. Win the game first.

stu played amazing all things considered, we didnt want to reward him :(
Hahah ban the wave. Im already the joker. Thats what happens with Edmonton. Then my habs get 7-2 and Barron gets headshot. Why so Serious?
Probbably not the best idea to give away all the youngsters. No speed and/or grit left at all.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss ken holland already.

This is absolutely nuts. I have no words for this anymore....
I dont like him as a person, but his moves were good. The team underperforming is not his fault.
It totally is his fault. We had a fully functional team that was ready for round 2 and he gave away all our assests for nothing.@@Paroseni.
I'm gonna be honest... I can't watch the Oilers right now... I watch hockey to get away from my worldly stresses, and all they do right now is add to my stresses... I know it's just a game, and I shouldn't be so emotionally invested, but I just can't do that... If I don't want to be stressed about the Oilers, I just simply can't pay attention to them.
Yep, its time to give up hope so you won’t be as upset when they keep losing. Back to regular oilers
@@homielander5924 I hate giving up on them.. I’ve never been a fair weather fan when I can help it… but I just can’t handle watching them choke right now.. especially after last year.
I feel you bro! That's totally fine! Relax a little, and when things eventually get better, you'll be more than welcome here :)
Skinner was insane tonight I remain a fanatic Skinnerbro
+1 for nixing the wave.. not only is it annoying and shows people aren't paying attention, but it's distracting and disruptive for those that are watching the game...
I'm an old man though.. maybe it's just my knees XD
Keep the faith! This was an excellent game, one of the best if seen so far this season... the victories will come!
If it weren’t for skinner this game could have gotten ugly

@@christianb3093 Definitely working on that! Been on my “to do” list for a while haha appreciate the feedback and kind words!

The Canes are great at cycling the puck for those wide open net opportunities and then flub them. They really need to work on their shooting.

Dam eh 2-4-1 its not fun in Edmonton

The WAVE send a message to the players too. They know that the fans are on their side. Why Ban ??
Take Nurse out ? WOW
darnizzle in da hizzle

Skinner is the best goalie in the league. Put this loss on someone else.
