Ceci committed to just skating right beside (a bit ahead actually) a forward. That's a dumb play still. At best you've left Nurse with a 2 on 1. He had no good reason to be up there.

Ceci needs a smack. 99% of the time him jumping up is a complete waste, and usually turns into something worse coming our way. His offensive skill is crap, he should not be jumping and gambling up as much as he does. He needs to be the responsible one on his pair if that pair will have any hope. Nurse is never going to be the responsible one, it's not how he plays, and the coaches and his D partner need to be far more aware of it.

Woodcroft also (rightly) called out Foegele's decision on this play too. Yes, horrible decision by the defence to both jump up for no real good reason, but with an odd-man rush, Foegele took a bad angle shot from distance and missed the net by a country mile, starting the breakout for the Canucks.

Pretty terrible decision-making all around on that play, but over the course of the game, the Oilers badly outplayed the Canucks. Generally if you outshoot a team 40-16, you can deal with one bad breakdown in the course of the game. The Oilers didn't allow a lot of chances, never mind 5-bell chances in this game outside of this goal. Sadly, we only got 12 saves all night.

By no means am I happy about Skinners play. I think he still looks just as defeated as he did last playoffs. And I am very worried that a whole summer with Schwartz may have actually solidified more self defeating habits into his game. We could be in the process of destroying another goalie that we will trade for peanuts and watch do better somewhere else in 2-3 years, insisting he never could have done it here. Really hope that's not the case, but ugly start, including pre-season. I hope he can get some confidence back.

All hopes and dreams lie with Campbell for now. Oh boy.

Still not happy with the defensive play though. Canucks clearly are playing a defensive counterpunch style and they got us pretty good, even though we dominated possession. We should have won for sure, but everything went bad, poor finish (combo if the opposing goalie playing well and us just flubbing on good chances), some badly timed defensive breakdowns and stinky goaltending. Same stuff that ended our playoffs.
