Game 4 may be the series, and Stu's career as an Oiler. Game 4 Stu needs to show up with the rest of the gang.

This was their super embarrassing game of the series. Game 2 vs LA. Game 3 vs Vegas. Game 1 vs Dallas. We need to only have 1 per series and we used it up now.

Nice effort boys! What a game!

JC... the Oilers played right into Florida's hands. Stu played like G1 & G2 LA Kings series Stu, and everyone was a tire fire.

Even when they decided to get chippy, they still looked like they lost. Awful, awful game.

Not many positives to take away from this tire fire.

I’m really hoping they go with Pickard for game 4, but for some stupid reason, I just know they’re going to go back to Stu. He’s looked shaky for 3 games in a row now. Give Pickard a chance again. He’d still be there if he had not gotten hurt.

You're forgetting - he's Mr. Game Four. Two day break to reset, and then we take over.

Frustrating game, but almost better to get blown out. It's a wake up call.

I like the chippiness too. The team was clear that they give as good as they get. Really thought going after Bennett and Tkachuk was the right decision.

Didn't love a couple of the penalties - Kane's little slap to the face was a stupid decision. Cheap, but did no damage to the opponent, and could have been much worse for him. Kapanen's crosscheck - I wish he'd hit him harder, since he was going to get a penalty anyhow.

Just saw the “cross check” penalty to Kane. It was even more of a joke than I remembered. That doesn’t get called in pre-season.

Enjoyed the clip of Knoblauch saying that he was appreciative that these refs got the too many men penalty correct...

It should have been completely predictable, but it's still crazy we are now heading into a make or break game of the series all hoping for Stu to be non-garbage again after 3 pretty mediocre to abysmal games in the finals, just because it's a game 4.

Made it to the finals in spite of weaknesses in the lineup we have complained about for years. All the same weak spots from years past have rushed back punched us in the gut for a couple games now. Looking for a miracle here, like the magic of Game 4 Stu.

Almost everyone is writing the Oilers off now after that embarrassing game. Need that to be a launch pad again to a great game.

Hoping that Stecher draws in for Klingberg.
He's the one guy on the team that helps make Nurse look somewhat competent. That Kulak / Nurse pairing got completely dominated.

I said after Game 1 that Klingberg should have a seat. He's been really good in prior rounds, but getting exposed here. He's now -4 in the Finals. Stecher played really well so I don't think I'd have any hesitation making that change.

I would also like the Oilers to get their players to make some really honest assessments of how hurt they are. Frederic's done nothing. Brown has been invisible since he returned. Nugent-Hopkins didn't play well last night. Are they healthy enough not just to play, but to play better than the alternatives? Because if not, then sit down for a game and let the healthy guys take those spots. Having someone who's a ghost of their usual self drifting around out there isn't helpful.

It is just one game. A bad game, to be sure, but just one game. The Oilers don't need to win 6-1 Thursday to even the series up. Just win, get the split and game 3 becomes an afterthought. Momentum doesn't transfer between games, the Oilers have been here before, game 4 Stu magic is real, dig the fugg in.

It is indeed just 1 game. Maybe the most consiquential to the McDrai era to date, and here we are hoping that Stu has magic game 4 powers that can save us after an almost entire year of sucking outside of a handful of 1-2 week windows of time :)

Don't wanna think for now what happens if game 4 Stu doesn't happen.

I don’t know. It’s obviously just a weird coincidence, but I think he is statistically the greatest game 4 goalie of all time. By quite a bit. No small part of being a goalie is mental - so if he goes in “knowing” he’s the greatest, maybe that translates to results?

But if he does go in, the leash needs to be super short. - a lot shorter than 5 goals on 15 shots.

Stu is basically Tinkerbell at this point. Believe hard enough and game 4 will happen.

Short leash though for sure. Maybe not Oettinger short, but close.

Florida doesn't have any embarrassing games in this playoffs to speak of. They really don't.

The Oilers are getting shut down and outclassed by a team that isn't quite as talented however has a better goaltender and a team concept that allows them to play any way you'd like. They'd just rather you play their way instead.

Who had Brad Marchand and Sam Bennett as the best players in this series so far?

Woeful, pathetic, crap, mindless... pass me a thesaurus please how many more words can I use to describe that performance without having to resort to words that I'm not allowed to use in this forum?

That's not what I expected to see, though I did have them down to beat us 5-2 on this one, but I had us winning the last game. I'm hoping that that is our bad game of the series, we can't get any worse. However, I suspect we'll see the NHL suspending some of our players for the third period now. Someone should have ran Bob, even at the end just go and hammer him, lets see how they deal with that.

Generally, I thought we earned our extra penalties for much of the third, and with the game out of reach, I don't have a ton of a problem with that (other than the soft little cheap plays that leave no bruises but put us short). However the craziest one for me for ending up with the Oilers short is the Frederic/Bennett one. Yes, Frederic broke his stick on Bennett, but Bennett waited until the refs were holding Frederic down and then fed him several punches. Unbelievable that that's just a two minute roughing penalty and that we still get the extra there.

...typical McCaulley(sp?) officiated game IMHO. That said, Kane didn't do anyone any favours taking those two early penalties.

PICKS showed enough, to me, to get the next net. It just seems he is faster, going post to post, than SKINS is. That PP goal should have been stopped, but prior to that PICKS was in front of a number of tough shots...

...these are now desperate times. Keep out of the box and give yourself a chance... icon_neutral

Liked Kling through the playoffs, but all 3 games so far he is showing how he is just not build to play against tough forechecking teams

Perry being your most noticeable forward is a bad sign for this group. Our amazing depth has turned into a bunch of invisible passengers.

Think you have to. He can make a first pass too. Maybe not long range snipes like Klingberg, but Florida is taking that away anyways.

That might have been the breaking point for this team, the series, the season, and especially Skinner. Oilers had got absolutely dummied on the scoreboard and on the ice.

We can’t ride the Skinner-coaster anymore. He gets our hopes up with 3/4 games and the reverts right back to dog poop the moment we need him.

Agreed with everyone saying we played right into Florida's hands. Completely went away from our game and it failed in every aspect of the game. Just an absolute train wreck

Edmonton’s Jake Walman has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for roughing Florida’s Matthew Tkachuk.

Walman has also been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for unsportsmanlike conduct for an incident involving Florida’s bench.

What he gets fined for attacking the Turtle?? Shouldn't the league be paying him for that?? As for the water incident, being fined for that is as bad a joke as the ref's.

I'm a little shocked we haven't had a player banned for the rest of the play-off though.

That is so freaking blatant. Nepotism at its finest.
Nobody has ever gotten a fine for anything close to what Walman did, let alone in the Stanley Cup final.
That entire DOPS squad needs to be fired, top to bottom.

Yeah in that context it looks even stupider.. FULL two--hand cross check in the TEETH is the same infraction as a spray of water.. the people at DOPS (Parros) providing more proof of the farce that they are.. and why the entire department needs firing and replacement.

You can't have players punching other players while they're being held.

Unless of course it's league darling Sam Bennett doing the punching and one of the officials holding the other player down on the ice. Then it's just gamesmanship.

So I didn't watch the last 59:04 of the game, but I popped in here a few times for a vibe check.

My thoughts are purely based on feelings: J SKinner & T Stetcher, come on down. Stu/Pickard - I'll have to trust Knoblauch being able to sense how the goalies hold themselves on Thursday. As a coach, I hope he's in tune with it all. That 2OT goal might have done Stu in, it may have done the team in (it did me in...)

Is there any way we could wrap Hyman's arm up in a club like a football linebacker and put him out there? Just asking.

With a club hand he'd probably have more probability to score than Janmark, Brown, Henrique, Frederick, Arvidsson.. he'd definitely be a better option on the PK.. just tape his cast to his stick!

No kidding. We are really missing him out there and his physical play. It's really showing in game two and three
