Tippett crapping on Koskinen and basically saying the difference was goaltending. Yeah, Chicago was tipping pucks around Crawford for us too, and leaving our guys wide open 8 ft from the net to snipe shots top corner. Everything was even but the goaltending. We did have our chances, but we had a lot of fun trying to hit Crawford in the crest and everything low and along the ice into his pads. And jerk Blackhawks defenders just refused to tip anything up for us.
Think he's just mad that there was so much pressure on him to not play Smith and now he has to throw Koskinen under the bus for his boy. He doesn't seem to want to mention Smith just tossing Chicago a free goal in game 1. That game was all the skaters fault.

Where are these quotes?
Tippett should be throwing himself on his sword here. That would be real leadership. Say that you didn't make the right adjustments and that you feel you can be better. Try to save the players from the heat as much as possible.
Wait until behind closed doors with Holland to say goaltending was an issue. This guy is signed for years with the team yet, so not ideal if he feels that his coach scapegoated him (even if he does deserve some of the blame).

Hear a clip on the radio this morning.
Think quote I heard is around 2min in here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh1z1yWiiB8
Complains about 2GA in game 3 in the 3rd. Both were tips, not sure what exactly you expect there.
Game 4, Russell starts it off tipping a puck over Koskinen's pad as he's about to save the wrap around. Then wide open top corner shot from in close for the winner after a sad puck battle loss. I mean, I guess Koskinen could have been standing up, but then that leaves the far side and lots of other places for Kubalik to shoot. Don't let people like that take 1-timers completely uncontested 10 feet away on lost puck battle pass from behind the net maybe. Just to note, Toews had his stick in the middle Bear's hands to make that steal to pass to Kubalik. Ref looking right at it of course.

Yeah, I really didn't like the Oilers approach to point shots the whole series. The 'Hawks killed us with them and we just let it happen. Defencemen trying to also play goalie is just stupid, and it repeatedly burned us.
I think Koskinen wasn't good enough, but three own goals from Russell and at least one more from Bear, and none of them were just random deflections off the side of the leg, but rather all ones where they tried to stop the puck and deflected it over the netminder instead. In most of those cases, Koskinen makes the save if they didn't throw their leg or stick out at the last second.
The way we defended point shots all series makes it seem much more likely a system-based issue rather than simply missed assignments. I think Tippett wants his forwards deeper to help the defence, rather than forcing the blueliners. The theory clearly is that they should be able to stop the long shots and out-man the attackers down low, but it wasn't working and we didn't change up at all despite that so Slater Koekkoek and others end up looking like stars...
It does create an interesting situation if he's throwing the only goalie under contract under the bus...It would be interesting if they were able to cut loose Koskinen and could then focus on upgrading the position across the board. I'd love to see us try to get one of the young Rangers goalies...Hopefully Lundqvist wants one more year in New York...he's got one more year on his deal. Georgiev or Shersterkin would be a good fit and both wouldn't be expensive yet - so we could afford them even if we do have to keep Koskinen's deal on our books.
By the way, came across this email from Matheson while trying to find the Tippett quotes:
https://edmontonsun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/edmonton-oilers/ed monton-oilers-head-coach-dave-tippett-has-two-solid-options- in-goal
Ugh...that didn't age well.
