The Oil dominated the game, yet somehow Nurse and Skinner made it a nail biter. I try to positive about those two, but dang they make it difficult. I honestly prefer Pickard over Skinner now.
Take the 2 ponts and keep building on it.

First goal against - Ekholm & Bouchard are out, 3-on-2, Isles score on a long shot. Bad goal on Skinner. I don't really think it's easy to blame the D here - Tsplakov made a nice pass, but that shot is from another area code. It's got to be stopped.
Second goal - Emberson & Kulak are out, both a little flat-footed. Forwards a little scrambly in the zone too. This is the one Knoblauch focused on in his interview saying he didn't love that. Not great rebound control from Skinner too.
Third goal - Ek & Bouch back on the ice. Tic-tac-toe passing play, and the team probably could have played it better, but credit to the Isles there. If I was going to blame someone on defence, it's probably Ekholm, who goes down on the ice, rather than engaging his man.
I've noticed Oilers fans doing the Oilers fans thing where they take legit criticism of a defenceman - this time Darnell Nurse - and turn it in to this thing where they grumble whenever he's on the ice, complain about anything bad that happens while he's on, and remember everything as his fault, notice only the mistakes and nothing else, and blame him for everything that befalls the team even when he has a game like last night where he wasn't on for a single goal against.
