2 Vegas guys alone to watch that puck drop behind Skinner is just embarrassing. This team can't defend worth a crap. There are zero oilers wide open near the Vegas net ever

Their goalie is saving everything. The game plan right now I think is just for us to get as many shots on the goalie as possible

How perfectly that puck needs to catch his jersey to ride straight up. It was a save. I have a hard time.blamijg a goalie for a fluke of physics. Maybe goalies should oil their shoulders so it just slips off and goes flying

I can give you that, but he continues to be shaky in my opinion. That 2 on 1 at the end of the period, Theodore thankfully presented him with a simple shot and another goofy rebound. He can’t gobble up anything.

Man. FK Vegas playing defense around their net. Not fair
I want a league where the defending team can only have 1 player at a time within 20 ft of their net. We would dominate

Barring that, it would be nice to see Holland find two more guys like Ekholm to make the team competent in their own end.

Longer the series goes the more the one team you play over and over has to adjust. Vegas playing our PP a lot better. We are also buckling under the pressure a bit. Is Drai actually hurt? We seem less interested in setting up his 1-timer

The Knights just know to keep it 5-on-5 so that the Oil’s greatest strength is negated. They have a better defence corps, so the Oil have had a much harder time getting pucks on net and scoring.

Very likely. This team just does not have a good enough blue-line group to win a Cup. Out-scoring mistakes is never a good strategy for long-term success.

"Play our best game of the series"... they said....
Proceed to play an exact replica of the last game, through 40.
Nice work boys. See you next season.
Nothing like a little exclamation mark on this game by giving up a natural hat trick in the process.
Goodnight all, see you next season. This goose is cooked.

Relying on a PP to win games was never going to work in the playoffs when the refs refuse to be consistent with making calls like they do in the regular season.

One line team again too. It's just never gonna work long term. Our top 6 has been completely broken all playoffs. Only 2 guys can do anything. Need to figure out what went wrong and make moves if needed

They need to upgrade their defence before they make any changes to their forward lines. They need to find a bonafide top-pairing defenceman along with a solid defensive d-man so that Desharnais and Ceci can be pushed right out of the line-up.

I agree. The forwards have been pretty good - not sure what happened to Hyman and RNH once the playoffs rolled around, but I don’t like it. We need another to 6 winger to replace Yamamoto, and upgrades on Ceci and Vinnie. Broberg Will be a good 6. So another solid top 4 guy at least.

Think we may be stuck on D for the top 4. Good news is Bouch and ekholm can play like a legit top pair. I would like to see either last year's Ceci come back or Ceci be replaced. Got kulak long term already. Could get an upgrade to desharnais but I think woody likes him. Maybe he takes another step. Broberg is Holland's first bold move so he probably gets a push.
Honestly I think a lot of our defensive issues is systems and discipline. I personally don't think the forwards are helping enough anymore. We still have guys all looking to fly the zone asap.

This team is good... just not good enough. Still way too many passengers, and I mean on the mental side. Just don't commit enough and don't think the game well-enough.

Agreed. I’m still surprised by this. We handled Vegas in the regular season. I honestly didn’t think we would have any trouble. Ugh

Need a save now and then. I've no idea how or why Skinner has the amount of rope that he seemingly has. Same thing every game and they keep going back to him. Getting what they deserve.

Think this ended up an error too. Skinner has looked absolutely defeated multiple times these playoffs. No shame in not being ready, but the coach needs to sense it. Campbell of course can be terrible too. Gamble either way, but I think, with the benefit of seeing these 2 periods, we gave ourselves the weaker chance tonight with the pick

If the Oilers pull this off, Skinner will need to be world class to get game 7.
Edit: Did realize Jack was in.
