Effort was there. To bad the one goal was a strange and stinky one, but the chance again was deserved after a pretty bad play in the offensive zone.
Better figure out whatever mind power Hill has over these guys before playoffs. Would be hilarious if Hill plays like trash again right after this game.
Hope Stecher is OK.

...so was SKINNER the difference? I'll answer that... YES. 
...this time, it's for real (isn't it?).

Good game. Entertaining game, but the Knights own the Oilers.

All they need is Hill is seems. And Barbashev.

They used to be fine against the knights - but everything changed after game 4 of WCSF game 4. When the league gave the thumbs up to Vegas lumberjacking the Oilers best player and swerved way out of their lane to ensure their lane to ensure that the Oilers were punished for pushing back.
And petrangelo smirking his way through his presser after that game and flat out admitting that he was attempting to injure in response to Oiler players being mean to him.
Yep Vegas owns Edmonton. Of course they do - everyone on the ice knows that if the Knights are frustrated they have carte blanche to do whatever they want. I guess in a way it's understandable that no one has laid a finger on Petrangelo since then.
I wonder if we'll ever get the real story on this Vegas team.

That’s the first time since 1944 that an NHL game has been played without a penalty and one goal or less.
Couldn't even get the game management late with some big trips, hooks and grabs. Just total night off for the refs.

Why is Perry the 6th man?
This team will never be its best if it continues to favour vets.

As far as losses go, I can't complain about this one. Everything was firing except the puck just didn't bloody go in the net, mostly due to Hill. It was a solid game, just didn't connect.

One goalie will be on Team Canada.. the other won't.
That was a super softee goal.. bad dopey play by Leon to start off the gong show.. but .. Bouchard cut off the pass across.. and Stu ... ?? .. no idea .. 
Sean Burke is the "Director of Goaltending" for Vegas.. that's right.. DIRECTOR .. maybe Oilers should be looking at creating a goalie department.. chasing goalies drafted and developed by other teams after they have made it big.. commanding BIG cap and HIGH trade capital to acquire afterwards.. is a losing strategy.. need to draft and develop..
Vegas did it.. they got Hill for peanuts.. and turned him into an great/cheap asset.

Until Schwartz is gone... like bring in someone that's actually goaltended in the NHL. There is something legit missing from his textbook.
Maybe we need a retired NHL veteran who knows what works and doesn't on the big ice, not just in junior or college level.

Missed history. Game played out like a game 7 of a series. Rulebook out the window, do whatever you want to try to slow down the other team and try to make fans not see any skill plays (Vegas did 90% of grabbing/hooking/tripping). Just wonderful for the game of hockey at the start of December in a zero stakes game.

What I notice about Skinner is once his pads are down he moves across the crease real s l o w .. very "deliberate" movements.. his pads seem clumsy..

Great game. 1-0 did not represent the entertainment value.
Skinner, when on his knees has horrendously slow lateral movements between the posts. Elite in a beef league. Good in the AHL. Below average in the NHL.
Otherwise a decent goalie, but he tends to get exploited when the puck is down low.
