At the beginning you compare a 2.5 mil a year goalie vs a 10 mil a year all star goalie. I blame the team. Defense has been lacking, scoring hasn’t happened. They had time to replace skinner. They chose not to. It’s a team failure. Not skinner.
Gregor - look at the high danger chances for and against! The top 6 has had plenty of chances, how many missed tap ins, how many posts, how many 5 alarm saves by Bob? We've outchanced the Panthers in 2 of the 3 games, but have been outscored 11-4. Expected goals say we should be at least even, if not ahead. GOALTENDING IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Some people like to defend Skinner and put the blame on anyone else who made a mistake. Ask yourself this... When the Oilers get a grade A chance and doesn't score, did the other team play it perfectly with no mistakes or did their goalie bail them out? Skinner is likely THE worst Oiler starter in the teams history. He at the very best is an NHL backup. With his absolutely brutal lateral movement I'd argue he's lucky to be in the AHL. Goaltending needs to be addressed asap if this team wants to win a cup. Once they have a reliable goaltender everything else falls into place
Wow Frank Oilers really looked like a team ready to go home and out of gas 😂😂 I hope they look just as bad in game 5 and bring it back to Edmonton. Tough game on the road where the greatest player on the planet will get a chance to match up vs Mcdavid.
Habs need to acquire a star (5$tar) player particularly forward hopefully center! Ole Ole Ole is getting cobwebs on it due to lack of wins and success....
Since the 80s, 10 teams have been swept in the finals. If Oilers lose tomorrow they become the only team to get swept twice. With the cup and the broom in attendance, Oilers oil drop becomes a tear.
Well that didn’t happen! Sorry to burst your bubble, I was at one of those games! Sat behind Billy smith for two periods and he got a shutout ! islanders had one of the best teams ever and went on to win there fourth cup in a row, we took them down the next year for our first cup, Great memory’s! I have lots of them! I’m betting your a leaf’s fan and unless your 90 you don’t have any!
Buyout Candidates. Absolutely Brutal. The GMs that signed these contracts should be banned from ice hockey in the western hemisphere. Starting with Blake for the PL D-Bag 8x8.5. 💩🤬🤬🤬🤬🚮
Does Gregor actually listen to the words coming out of his mouth? The Oilers offence isn't the issue. Bob is stealing the series and the Panthers D has been vastly superior to the Oilers D. It's like watching an NHL team's D against versus an AHL team's D.

Frank got his predictions wrong
Shocking
Last game Oilers started shooting more...for the first 2 games they held on to the puck too much looking for the best shot. They need to shoot more.

One of Ottawa’s best defenders?
Brannstrom +5
Zub +5
Sanderson +8
JBD -7
Chabot -3
Chychrun -30!!!!!
Hey Frank, did you watch any hockey this year? ;)
Frank's take follows which way the wind is blowing on the day ... click hound

The tune has changed.
I wonder if Ottawa would tale JG Pageau for Chychrun?
Dubois is poison. But if they buy him out he'll wake up, sign for cheap with Florida, and win the cup. Oops! Sorry, that was OEL!

What about Mitch Marner for who gets the most calls?
what about playing pickard and sam gagne

dubois for Laine
Goaltending is the difference. Change goalies and the series is 3-0 Edmonton

Dangerous Scoring chances aren’t even close… Florida finished theirs, Edmonton isn’t getting many

Columbus destroys careers
The Edmonton Oilers haven't looked good in any of the games. Changes may be necessary.

Frank is the worst.
