I was at the game and it was pretty hard to watch for the first 2. From top to bottom, not 1 Oilers player could make a pass to save their life. They couldn't make a pass, couldn't take a pass. The amount of times they would fire a pass towards a teammate that had zero chance of being completed was maddening. They would even throw passes to areas where there was no Oilers players standing there.
Multiple guys having the puck right in the slot and instead of ripping it, they would try a dangle or hold on to it for whatever reason and wait until the Jackets guy was in front to block it. I think Bouchard alone had easily 4 times where he could have shot the puck from the slot in a premium scoring spot but decided to dandle or waited. I can think of one where the Jackets guy fired it right up the middle from behind the goal, Bouchard picked off the pass easily. Had the puck on his stick on his forehand at the top of the circle and he WAITED. Then the Jackets guy got in front and the shot didn't even get through.
Skinner was unbelievable, was the only reason they won after the first 2 periods. Then in the 3rd the Oilers decided "Ok Skins, we will try now and turned it on and it wasn't close."
It was ugly, maybe one of the sloppiest 2 periods they have played in 2 months, maybe Skinners best game but they are continuing to find ways to win!!
One question. Where are the people giving hat tips to Dustin Schwartz?
Apparently it was his fault the Oilers goalies were bad, now that the Oilers goalies are good, shouldn't the people that called for his head be giving him props now? Skinner is putting up vezina numbers and has for months. Skinner is breaking Fuhr records. Pickard was lighting it up in the minors and has come up and given the Oilers decent back up goaltending. Rodrigue is lighting it up in the minors. Even Campbell has potentially started to turn it around. The main goalie coach would have a hand in every one of those guys, especially at the NHL level. So..?
