The score could be 5-0. Don’t let the foot off the gas. Seen this story far too many times.

Unforced turnover by Nuge on the PK, followed by the usual Oiler lost-boys failed D coverage in front of the net.

Oilers had a 4-2 lead against the Blues after 2 periods early this season and had to score with 0:30 left to win. Lets not repeat that.

That last goal, like the 2nd goal, was all Smith in his incompetent glory. Can't blame the D-men on it.

Smith is brutal, but the Defense has been terrible all night, contributing to all the goals.

Man, if you can’t count on your goalie to stop an unscreened weak shot right at him from outside the face off circle? I don’t know how you’re supposed to
play that. That third goal was all on Smith.

No kidding. That was freaking AWFUL. Commentators stumbling over themselves to try to make excuses for him. No. That was a shot that a peewee goalie would have saved.

The Smith praise over a routine save after the goal by Jack was laughable.

Does anyone in the org believe this tandem can take us anywhere? If we do make it in, I would say about even odds we get swept again. Still can’t believe we are still trotting this guy out there. Get Skinner up here yesterday.

It is possible Kostko/Skinner could actually be an above average group. Not cup run elite but still good. Frustrating team. Smith should be in the AHL or sitting at home right now.

His reflexes are too slow.. he played bad position and on top of it too slow to react to the shot.. same as the first goal.. too slow to react to the wrap around.
Pull him before you lose the game.

Principe: You've switched goalies before.
MacT: Once even for a shootout.
Principe: I remember, Conklin smashing his stick.
MacT: But it worked.
HEY CRAIG, YOU LOST THAT GAME, ALIENATED YOUR GOALIE AND MADE EVERYONE REALIZE EVEN MORE THAT YOU WERE A HORRIBLE COACH.
He actually thinks he was successful pulling that move, when it was mocked around the hockey world, including by Conklin - the goalie who got pulled.

Bennington can feel better about his lousy night by just remembering that he could never be as bad in net as Smith.

I remember the feeling of contempt that came over me when I read that comment. Now watch Holland sign Smith to another extension next year....

It's like there's a trend or something...I wonder if there's a common denominator?
Oh well, at least they been consistent with the goalies for the past 15 years.

I guess it's a moral victory that the tying Blues' goal was a team effort to fail on D?

No. You can't fake an injury, they won't demote him. He'll be here for the rest of this year and next year unless he gets a real injury or he retires. They may get a new starter in the summer, but he'll be the backup minimum.
