Should have called a time out after the first goal, to clear the heads and get them playing again. Whilst the players aren't playing, the coaching team should have done something as well to try and help and failed. This is as much on them as the players.

Skinner hasn't been his best this period but its not all on him. The defensive structure and weak plays put the team in this bind.
Goal number 1 McDavid was slow to react. RNH weak chip out attempt is stopped
Goal number 2 McDavid with a low IQ defensive play. Bouchard controller disconnect. Skinner makes 3, or 4 saves before it gets knocked in. Ekholm has a chance to get it out, but it's weak. Possibly all he could get, so possibly not on him for the failure to get it out.
Goal 3 just a defensive breakdown. Maybe Skinner shouldn't have been out that far, but the team in front of him shouldn't be that daft defensively.

You’re right - he hasn’t looked amazing, but it was mostly tongue in cheek. If anything it would be to give the boys a boost - they seemed to play better in front of him.
But anyway - Skinner made a couple of nice saves there. Or at least he was hit by the puck.

Maybe don't give up a breakaway, hey? These guys need someone that can help them not break like this.

Another crazy weak play by Nuge leading to that breakaway. Put Henrique on the first line if he has the energy for it.

I'm going to head off and enjoy the rest of my long weekend.
Hope they figure things out, because that last 3 minutes might have cost them a chance at the Cup.

Same. I hope they find some willpower and manage to fight back in this one, but this second period has been beyond terrible.

Is Zach interested in hitting anyone? That O zone fly by just before Dallas flipped it out of the zone was so deflating. No contact. Nothing.
Get your head in the game!

A brand new hockey game in the third. It's like none of the prior stuff happened.
Smell all the smelling salts and get yourselves ready for one hell of a third. Play like you want the Cup. The team that wants it the most will win this game.

Another issue with the Oilers this period was the amount of times they lost and edge and fell to the ice. I lost count of how many times, and on the second goal at least 2 went down.

At least we started skating again. Super close game could go either way. If only Vinny's shot was 1" closer...lets go boys!
What the...how?

Ceci on the ice. Go figure. Every damned shift he’s out there it’s a fire drill.

Yeah, NO WAY should that go in from there. He's been decent this game, but that CANNOT go in.

Horrible defense from Ceci just running around like a goof. 2 times.on the same shift he leaves Nurse with a 2 on 1 against.
And Skinner backbreaker

Word is out on Nurse.. weak link.. they had a guy sitting at the blue line and just flipped it knowing it would result in automatic zone time..
Defense is weak sauce.. Deharnais, Nurse, Ceci

The classic "the Oilers can't play a full 60 minutes" reputation that this team has, comes back to haunt them again.
One huge period followed by one terrible period and another one decided by a broken goalie and a porous defense.
Awful game by the Oil.
The D has to be lightyears better than they were this evening in G4, and Picks HAS to start.

Bollocks!!! The Oilers are going to get reverse swept. The first game was more Dallas losing than Edmonton winning. They won't win another game this bloody series.
