At this time last year Jack Campbell stats were 3.41 GA and 888 S% and we sent him back. Skinner 3.33 GA and 876 S%. We need a new goalie and goalie coach.
@ bro no, you can’t argue facts. Other than Ceci this is very close to the same defensive team we had to take us to game 7. We need a new goalie coach and goalies
People act like changing the goalie coach is going to make a huge difference. Skinner is inconsistent. I don't think a new goalie coach is going to change that.
You mean replacing the same goalie that took your team to the Stanley cup finals? - your stats that you used as and example kinda goes against your point, 2 good goalies on a similar stat line which shows that defence is an issue. Pickard has slightly better stats so maybe start with him and see where it takes them. However, defence needs a shakeup, every goalie that has played for the Oilers for the past 5 years struggled.
Campbell Over 5 million, Skinner just over 2. He has done nothing but bail this team out of a horrible Campbell signing playing as number 1 and being paid as a backup. Maybe lay off Skinner a bit
@@dannychoy6323 not saying that goaltending/defense isn't an issue but you also can't win when your forwards can't produce. We have had goaltending and defense issues for years and the fact is we should and have been able to outscore our mistakes.
If team was scoring lots of goals and were losses then I’d either defence and goalie is problem but we have some game we didn’t score so it’s we used to score lots of goals not this year yet accept Vancouver game
Please play Kasper more! He will have some defensive aches to learn through, but his passing, size and speed are what we need. He made some slick tape to tape passes under pressure that helped our zone entries and exits. Caggulia plays with an edge and I love it. He is a nuisance and a pest (in a good way) and we need to keep him in the lineup for now as we need that spark. We need Perry to be willing to get punched in the face again. (I love Perry, but we need vintage Perry now more than ever.) When Perry is fully engaged he is extremely effective and fun to watch! -- It is like we have been given a playbook. Unfortunately, the boys are focusing on different chapters. (Meaning some games we are in sync and others we look like we are battling ourselves out there) We all want to win, but Knobber is right. If we try to do to much, we end up doing nothing at all. Also, unsolicited opinion time: We have to be willing to healthily expand those roles. Kasper might be a third line guy - But given the injuries, I think he would be an excellent option on the Power Play as a net front option who can also move and protect the puck. Everyone on this team can score and play defence. We need clear minds and full hearts.
Not gonna win a cup as long as mcdavid is in Edmonton. Nothing against him but it is the mindset, the focus on him, the amount he gets frustrated because his fancy play is not rewarding him. Shoot the puck, stop the drop passes, 3’ passes that gain u nothing. Crowd their net and clean out your net. Oh ya and maybe some urgency!!
Chill man, the guy is carrying the team, who wouldn’t be frustrated at team . Get the shrink in there to talk to the guys and work on the mind games and pressure of repeating last years accomplishments.

You're blaming a goalie for bad team defense. Typical oiler fan.

Why are we talking about power play? Right now, the biggest issue is our defense and goaltending.
I think our biggest problem is lack of scoring. Corey Perry is literally 4th on our team in goals.
@OilFan702 when you let in 3 to 4 goals a game, that means you have to score 4 to 5 goals to win the game. It sounds like a big task for any teams.

Because PP is also trash
Defense
Since the 2022/2023 season Stu has faced 81 East/West chances off the rush. 38 Goals Against. Rank 118 out of 118 goalies that qualify.
I trust Stuart Skinner, he knows what to do, and I believe in him! Let's Go Oilers!!! 💙🧡💙🧡
We need to score more goals to win games
@@Babylo1972 💯
Start with a new goalie coach
We've been talking about new coach goalie coach for a long time get Mikey Smith in here this is going to ridiculous what does coach goalie coach
These days every team has studied video on the PP so there’s that.
Keep up the good work, I love the entertainment and the season is young.

I have a feeling this guy is staying up late. 🤯😵💫😵
scoring is their biggest concern?? not the defensive mistakes and terrible goaltending?
New head coach incoming soon.:
I did think I saw Quenneville at the airport this morning...
@@itjustyouraveragecanadian9604 no!!!

You exactly right. It's a gift and a curse to have him.
We have no grit to this team none
It’s all gone now
