Kulak was busy trying to get his stick free without taking a penalty and everyone else was somehow trusting him to make a play I guess... Even allowing 4 goals in 12 or 13 shots, looking at the goals it's hard to argue Skinner was the largest fault of the Oilers here.
Yea I watched that one in slow motion several times. Four Oilers in the zone with one Cane and they completely ignore the guy coming down the left wing leaving an easy seam pass. And then they finish it with those 4 guys completely boxing the front of the net and still leaving the one Cane alone and untouched in the middle. It's just completely bonkers how bad they are in their own end. Unless McJesus or Draisaitl have the puck on their sticks, it seems they have no clue what they are doing out there. McDavid -8. That's not the world's greatest playrer. At best he is good for a few highlight goals and that is the extent of his game. Skinner's numbers are looking worse than Campbells now. It's just a complete clusterfuck for Edmonton from top to bottom.
@@boneseyyl1060Fun fact, in the 13/14 season, Alex Ovechkin pulled off a 51 goal season with a -35 in the plus/minus! But the Oilers have not addressed the issues that continue to cost them year after year which is goaltending and team defence!
"We really need to figure out our goaltending. I mean, we only let their forwards hang out in front of the net and take multiple whacks at the puck, unchallenged, or give them odd man rushes and breakaways, or deflect it into our own net. I mean, it's clearly our goaltending."
The oilers have wrecked so many goaltenders. Its been a problem for a long time now and when other teams are shutting down their offence it is painfully apparent.
Can you imagine if Skinner was traded to a GOOD team and played and won 13 out of 15 games he played would be like for the Oilers :) It would not send out any message to the PLAYERS or MANAGEMENT.
I think enough is enough, the edmonton oliers need to fire and replace the hotdog vendor. I think a change like that could make a huge impact on the oilers.
We get it, the Oilers are a flawed team. They've changed coaches and goaltenders like people change underwear and nothing improves except for a few winning streaks here and there. The make up of the team has to change and they need players who understand defense. Can't hang on to McD and Drai like they're some kind of golden ticket. Trade one of them and signal a real change, not superficial ones.
So they talk about trading for another goalie, when this fails they will blame the GM. Nobody realizes that it's been 4 coaches under Mcdavid. . A fun fact Mcdavid a minus 3 tonight.
The fact the Oilers are floundering and the Flames are being decent, and the Canucks and Leafs are killing it kinda is karma for Oiler fans who had way too much hype for a team who proved nothing last year.
Connor Brown has a -5 and 0 points thus far this season and will be owned $3.25M next season (cap) on a team which he most likely won't be playing for. Sums up the current status of this team pretty well, huh?
For anyone who is still optimistic about the Oilers making the playoffs: If the Oilers were to go .500 from this point on for the rest of the season, they would finish with 75 points. That's not even close to a Wildcard spot. This team is trash.
pretty confident in saying no current Oilers line-up player reads their highlights game comments, but maybe they should start. this collapse is remarkable.
As a Kings fan I had to check to see if the Oilers season is still reeling because I am very hopeful that we don’t face the Oilers in the playoffs this year so hopefully we can advance except for the damn Golden Knights also have our number for whatever reason all the time too😵💫
I feel bad for Skinner, the stats sheet makes it look like he got fleeced, but the reality is that 3 of the four against him were the result of bad turnovers and untouched traffic in front of the net.
What would have been FANTASTIC is when the Oilers fired the coach they said to McDavid, "You and Leon are now the player coaches. Let's see what you can do?". Then we could have seen where the problem may be.
Hyman is the Oilers' best player today.😇 Draisaitl ( - 5), McDavid ( - 8 ) both very poor in defense !😝Connor Brown - completely useless player🤣 both goaltenders - AHL level at best😂😝 The Oiler defense is terrible, game after game and turnovers in the attack zone like Ekholm did are typical for the Oiler's team.🤪 Trade Foegele ( -9 ) or Brown ( - 7 ) for 1 good goaltender ASAP !! or forget about the good results this season😇
Yuppers Oiler fans, it was never the coach (Woodcroft) in the first place... too many egos, and too many high-priced players not earning their keep after a big contract, happens every time! The season's over...unfortunately!🥺😥😢😭
Brent Burns and the Carolina Hurricanes wins over Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers 🏒🔴⚫⚪🌀 Carolina Hurricanes went up to 11-7-0, while the Edmonton Oilers fall to 5-12-1
firing woodcroft was not the best decsion. Fire your goalie coach and give cal pickard some more ice time. Lastly see if you can make a move on Calgary Defence since some of them want out.
@@Randomstlhero no, that's a typical night. McDavid is a liability with his inept 2 way game and Draisaitl is slightly better. They are barely ahl worthy themselves. McDavid has no business wearing the c.
Holland said they fired Woody coz they're in a 'win now mode'. So they hire a guy with zero NHL experience. And with all due respect, he looks clueless.
They can put the pucks on net but they are atrocious defensively ,As a Canes fan I watched them last year in the playoffs and the D coverage was just yeesh! like pond hockey .
This is the Canes I've been waiting see all season. Wish they could put these kind of games together against teams that are currently playing well. Loses some of it's luster when it's against an ailing oilers team.
22% of the season is just started? Granted, they are presently only 4 of 66 games back from a wildcard spot, but they have shown 0 evidence of their ability to turn this around. Half the team looks like they've given up and the broadcasting team has taken to complaining about reffing. Calvin Picard is apparently their best goalie, and defensive players are consistently losing their coverage or falling down while turning to defend the rush. Even the very top heavy Maple Leafs have better scoring depth, and the Oilers are among the 4 worst disciplined teams in the league (thank you Kane and Nurse...).
It's fine swapping your netminders all the time but the problem is the defence. No-one is tracking skaters and there's no reaction to puck movement at all.
I hate the coach's challenge for off side. When someone upstairs is reviewing it frame by frame to see if it is off side, I feel it takes away from the game. I think they should get rid of it.
Just standing around, not moving people in front of our net, not back checking to our own end. Having Paul Coffee as the D manager is going to suck even more than with Manson. He’s telling our group to activate more when our forwards to come back to our zone! Going to be a nightmare the rest of the way.
They bring in his coach just because he's McDavid... trade both of them! we're never gonna win with these losers.we dont need these toronto guys on our team.
This is embarrassing and just simply unacceptable!!!! It's starting to become a custom this season. This team is bad in so many ways, and I really hate to say it, but I truly believe we have to many issues that need to be fixed for us to have a productive season this year. I've come to appreciate these players on this team and would hate to see anyone go, but I think we've reached our ceiling with this roster and staff.
always few players making mistake . today is the d, tmr is the goalie... . always a few playing good, but not the entire team... holland or jj betting brown to do the job but another lost bet.. they actuallY pay him more than yamo... it is pathetic . dra will want out for sure..
Good god. Send the oilers a respectable netminder that can keep his team in the game while they struggle to get their momentum going. Very disappointing
This just in...the Oilers broadcast crew has been traded to the Florida Panthers for a bag of hockey pucks. No word yet on whether they will be bought out at this time.
@@de_prest Still have no goalie, no defense and only 2 good players. Edmonton has no chance. They were cup favourites at the beginning of the year, now they will be lucky to sneak into the playoffs and get dismantled in the first round.
@@182kramer lol you clearly dont watch them 😂 handled the rangers outplayed the kings defensively besides the 1st period they have been the hottest team in the league lately and you dont need a number 1 goalie to win the cup as Vegas and Colorado have shown lately
