Back to sub par goaltending, otherwise they played well enough to win this.

Same old story: the team couldn’t outscore its mistakes. Yes, they need a goalie, but they also need a bonafide top-pairing D-man.

Yeah, they need a Pionk or a Holl to shut down other teams top players

Shots 45-24. Lose 6-5. Not good enough. We need the routine saves to be made, but we also need a big stop now and then. We’re just not getting it.
That said, result notwithstanding, what a fun game to watch.

Koskinen with the L.
Doesn’t seem fair.
He has less stink on him than the other guy.

...goaltending. And MCD has got to be more selfish. or 13 has to convert more.
...this time, it's for real (isn't it?).

Of course, 11/13 isn't great either and I would have liked him to have that last one. But yeah - Smith stunk tonight.

There’s no middle ground with Smith night to night.
He’s either stink or stellar.

I would like to think the OIL can take away the 4th playoff spot from the FLAMES. But then I compare goalies...

It was way more than goal tending, guys could not for the life of them get the puck out of their own zone, starting with the D, and magnified by the forwards. Kahun was especially brutal, Tippet agreed.
Missed Lagesson's steadiness. Hope he's not hurt bad, he's a good partner with Larsson.
Played really dopey, looked like they thought they were a top tier team, forgetting they have go out and actually play like one, lots of lackadaisical efforts. Jets forecheck totally overwhelmed them, Oil D were scrambling all night.
Bad game.

The shots were 45-23. We had control of the puck for a huge portion of the night. This was NOT a terrible game top to bottom. Agreed that Kahun wasn't great, but the team overall was pretty good...but didn't get any saves, and Winnipeg got a lot more of them.

Tippett has said he likes doing the two games thing he was doing last year...which would make it Smith again. That said, maybe he wants to split all these games one each?
It's pretty must win. You can't make the playoffs only beating Ottawa.

No, not top to bottom, but the usual suspects nullified the efforts of the guys that actually came to play. Lot of spectators, weak efforts, in the D zone.

Looks like Tuesday is guaranteed win night!
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.

Maybe. Or maybe we're mixing it up. 3 game win streak...3 game losing streak?

Sadly I think it's us or the Jets. We need a tender and we're a contender.
Imagine us with Markstrom...why didn't Holland get that one done again? Weren't they $500k apart? So close.

Nope. A goalie would fix that. Jets got walked. Hellybuck lets in 5 and was still the winner.

We have a goalie and we are B- Cup threat. Without? Best bet is we sneak into the playoffs in the weakest division.

It was term. Calgary was offering 7 years, Holland only 6. Wouldn’t budge on that, apparently.

Darn straight it’s a Must Win.
I go back to Smith. 3 of those 4 goals, the pylons in front of him were horrible defensively. I think Smith also has better, bounce back appeal than Koskinen.
Smith and Kosk are splitting Calgary later this week. That’ll be fun. *nervously holding in a fart*

Given Tippett's stated preference for a 2 & 2 system and Smith completely crapping the bed last night, I think we see Koskinen for the next two and Smith the two after that.

So you’re thinking, based on his comment, we see Kosk Wednesday and Friday then Smith Saturday?
I looked at the schedule to see if there was a ‘good’ time to be with just Smith or Koskinen for there to be the least impact to a single goalie system while we wait for a Gibson to get through quarantine but then thought to myself that it was a waste of time because Holland won’t do anything to bring in a goalie in season

Back-to-backs against Calgary this weekend isn't it? He may want to split the starts which would mean Koski tomorrow and Friday, and then Mike "Mr. Saturday Night" Smith on the anchor leg.
