The Edmonton Oilers have some roster needs at the NHL trade deadline. But perhaps, the biggest change of all might be the easiest to make! #EdmontonOilers #Oilers #NHL
If there was to be another quality playoff experienced goalie added, Skinner would have to keep his game at a top level consistently. As of now he knows he's the main attraction. Bring another guy in who will bring alot of competition and force him to provide the goaltending we need. I'm nervous anytime the opposition gets inside the blue line and gets even remotely set up in our end. He drops and flops like a fish out of water, Pickard is way smoother and fluent to watch
Just don't forget that skinner arguably won the rookie of the year and went to game 7 of the cup final. Not too many goalies with that many seasons under there belt can say that
It ALL starts with goaltending and works its way out. If a team has a hot/great goalie, the team plays great. But a leaky goalie resonates throughout the lineup no matter how many superstars you have on your team
Agreed. Hard Skinner fans need to recall the last series with the Canucks and Panthers. Pickard saved us and then the Oilers outshot the Panthers 32-18 in Game 1, but lost 3-0. That's one goalie letting in 1 out of 6 shots and the other stopping 32 straight. In so many games we get double the shots on the net but lose. So many times I dread hearing the words, "There goes Skinner to the bench." It's a lot of weight to put on a goalie but that's just how it is. Look at shots on net and do the math people.
I'm still not sold on John Gibson, but you're right about Schwartz. I'm no Skinner apologist but he should get a better shake with a better coach before looking for any sort of replacement.
Well Donny , you could be very well right, I don't like Skinners drop style, he is beat upstairs a lot and we'll never know because Oilers probably won't get a new goalie coach, so we are doomed for a cup. 😁
John Gibson is exactly what this team needs. I've been saying it since the beginning of the year. One D man and a Forward aren't going to get you the Stanley cup this year. Swing for the home run! Gibson will win you games
Size yes the boiz are getting banked around to much. 3rd goalie absolutely maybe one thst could become the goalie coach. Another 2 solid defensive minded defenseman you know like Ekholm. What they need is a shooting coach, the shot percentages are wsy down. They have forgotten how to shoot or when not to pass
It’s honestly just pathetic this is why other fans outside bases hate us because the vast majority of our “fans” whine like a god damn baby. I honestly kinda hate the majority of our fan base because of this shit.
@ like I know look at Skinners stats last month he played very well both him and Picks. Both these goalies got us to game 7 of the freaking Stanley Cup finals has everyone forgotten that. I hate being a fan of this team sometimes just hearing everyone freakout.
Oilers fans seem to forget that skinner almost won rookie of the year. And then he took us to game 7 of the cup final... I'm not saying he's a superstar but he isn't that bad. If the defense plays the way they should he does make the necessary saves
If Oilers ( Skinner / defense ) allow 3 goals in own net every first period, they can’t come back every game. I😂MHO first period: 3 shots - 1 goal, 6 shots - 2 goals, 10 shots - 3 goals )) Stuuuuuuu)) 😝In how many games does an opposition goalkeeper outperform a mediocre Stuuu?🤪and the Oilers' inconsistent defense isn't top-notch. McDavid - ZERO points😂 but lost puck several times , Knob is a mediocre coach who shuffles players like cards with very questionable results.
Defence, grit, goaltending……in that order……a defence upgrade will definitely help, the Oil are weak as American Beer….and goalie that’s consistent would be nice. This Jekyll and Hyde crap is getting old.
5. bowman/jackson massacre gave the speed away. 4. Toughness, too late for that, gave them all away too. 3. Goalie - never happen, we're stuck with goalie coach and skinner 2. Got Kling on sale, no cap for dman 1. New goalie coach Yes, but will never happen. ***Somebody in Oil management wants it this way*** Unless Katz steps in, nothing changes
@@modeisin7 I could disagree, but I've come to realize that we are stuck with what bowman/jackson do. So I support the Oilers, it gets hard to watch the games when skinner is in net, but man I feel sorry for this team with all the mistakes of management. They deserve better.
I would love to see them look for a #1 goalie! I see Skinner as being a 1B goalie!! He is not a number 1!!! Either that or get a goalie coach! Pickard plays better than Skinner on many nights! Look at Pickards record!!!
this is the last of your vids i’m gonna watch yr channel is to much rated PG for me like a channel for kids i prefer other channels like spittin chiclets, oilersnation or edmonton sports talk cuz those fellas curse now thats the type of channels u can sit and watch while sipping or casual drinking beer those r cool ok i’ve been following and watching yr stuff for a long time its been a good run with u guys good luck with yr channel wish u the best
What they really need is a coaching upgrade. Teach them how to run a set play. Winger heads to the net. Point man sends the puck to the net. Winger taps it in. This is the goal that Las Vegas/Washington/Toronto scores once every other game. Why haven't we figured it out yet? How about this one - send a puck behind the net. Two men go in to dig it out, and throw it into the slot. Third man, trailing, one-times it into a mostly-empty net as the goalie is trying to track the puck. Most top teams can do this. Or even just score on an odd-man rush. Oilers cannot seem to do it despite (or is it because??) having so much offensive skill.
We don’t need a coaching upgrade we are set and solid in coaching except our goalie coach is complete shit. If you obviously know so much why aren’t you a coach in the NHL?
Get rid of Skinner, he clearly gets outgoalied in a lot of games. He lets in 3 goals on 13 shots or less, why the hell wasn't he pulled after the first 2? Stubborn coaching is partly to blame too, never mind your ego knoblauc, don't let it cost the Oilers Ws.
Mike Smith brought in his own goalie coach because he knew Dustin Schwartz was an idiot.
If there was to be another quality playoff experienced goalie added, Skinner would have to keep his game at a top level consistently. As of now he knows he's the main attraction. Bring another guy in who will bring alot of competition and force him to provide the goaltending we need. I'm nervous anytime the opposition gets inside the blue line and gets even remotely set up in our end. He drops and flops like a fish out of water, Pickard is way smoother and fluent to watch
I share the same sentiment…
I really like Pickard but he is not more fluent in net he makes arguably worse plays and flops just as much you accuse Skinner of doing.
Just don't forget that skinner arguably won the rookie of the year and went to game 7 of the cup final. Not too many goalies with that many seasons under there belt can say that
100%. Get rid of Schwartz. IMO, I would like to see Mike Smith take a shot at that position.
It ALL starts with goaltending and works its way out. If a team has a hot/great goalie, the team plays great. But a leaky goalie resonates throughout the lineup no matter how many superstars you have on your team

I would think the mechanics for a goalie dropping, is quicker than being down trying to get up.
If the Oilers sign Evan Bouchard to a 10 million dollar contract………another decade of darkness will be upon us!
I agree. I like Bouchard but we just can't afford to give him that much money.
And if we get rid of him it the same damn thing you know that right?
@@modeisin7 If we get rid of him we can spend that money he is demanding on Rantanen instead. Or sign a goalie.
@ ……would you rather sign him over a guy like Mattias? Opportunity cost.
I'm still not sold on John Gibson, but you're right about Schwartz. I'm no Skinner apologist but he should get a better shake with a better coach before looking for any sort of replacement.
the cat thinks you're talking to it.. lol
Well Donny , you could be very well right, I don't like Skinners drop style, he is beat upstairs a lot and we'll never know because Oilers probably won't get a new goalie coach, so we are doomed for a cup. 😁
Firing the goalie coach is about a decade late already
John Gibson is exactly what this team needs. I've been saying it since the beginning of the year. One D man and a Forward aren't going to get you the Stanley cup this year. Swing for the home run! Gibson will win you games
Schwartz got to go brother😮
Logan Thompson traded for 2 third round draft picks, What a steal!
Size yes the boiz are getting banked around to much. 3rd goalie absolutely maybe one thst could become the goalie coach. Another 2 solid defensive minded defenseman you know like Ekholm. What they need is a shooting coach, the shot percentages are wsy down. They have forgotten how to shoot or when not to pass
No goalie has gotten better...
LOL "actually he really sucks and costs us a lot of money every single game but he's funny we like that guy he's funny that's why we keep him" LMFAO
God everyone’s overreacting again. What is Skinner suppose to do have shutouts every game god you people are ridiculous calm the hell down.
It’s honestly just pathetic this is why other fans outside bases hate us because the vast majority of our “fans” whine like a god damn baby. I honestly kinda hate the majority of our fan base because of this shit.

I like your touque!
If the goaltending coach is a problem and has been for years and he's still there, that's on management.
I watch for the cat!!😅
Cat doesn’t like him either😂
A 3 goalie playoff tandem is not what we need. It's a consistent proven #1. Problem there is not a lot of availability
Vegas won a cup with three goalies less than two years ago.
Make Mike Smith the coach

Like the comments on Dusty.

You do realize we are a better team after all the trades and signing we made right?

Sure we don’t have elite goaltending but we could spend the money better elsewhere.
I would love to see them look for a #1 goalie! I see Skinner as being a 1B goalie!! He is not a number 1!!! Either that or get a goalie coach!
Pickard plays better than Skinner on many nights! Look at Pickards record!!!
Need a goalie like tried with Skinner last year weak goals not good enuff
this is the last of your vids i’m gonna watch yr channel is to much rated PG for me like a channel for kids i prefer other channels like spittin chiclets, oilersnation or edmonton sports talk cuz those fellas curse now thats the type of channels u can sit and watch while sipping or casual drinking beer those r cool ok i’ve been following and watching yr stuff for a long time its been a good run with u guys good luck with yr channel wish u the best

@ The goalie coach is a coach. So…
Move both skinners.
Skinner is a sub-par .900 goaltender. He's not near good enough. The Oilers defensively are ranked top 5 statistically. Skinner is bottom 5.
Get rid of Skinner, he clearly gets outgoalied in a lot of games. He lets in 3 goals on 13 shots or less, why the hell wasn't he pulled after the first 2? Stubborn coaching is partly to blame too, never mind your ego knoblauc, don't let it cost the Oilers Ws.
You skinner haters are ridiculous shut up
First task. Trade Bouchard for a defensive Dman.
They let go of foggle and melod and Vinny d stupid
Yeah and we are a better team without them are you really that dumb you can’t see that?
