Which Goalie Starts Next Game? - Oilers Lack Physicality 

I honestly don’t think Edmonton can beat Vancouver. Yes, they have the skill. But their defence, goaltending and physical capabilities are is really inferior. And if their only plan is to play 5 guys 30 minutes a night… better luck next year.

Canucks are 6-1 vs Edmonton all year and they are still sleeping on the Canucks 😂

Liked Ryan's take on this.

The Oilers need to look in the mirror and realize Vancouver is running their show in just about every area especially checking.

Biggest mystery in history after the question "How were the pyramids built?" is "where is the Respect for Vancouver canucks who are beating everyones expectations and insults with 0 Lottery picks from draft?"

Knob was foolish imo to not have given Pickard more starts all along through the season, because this was very easy to foresee. Now he has to come in "Cold" and take the pressure and try to save the run. Or will knob, like woody, ride one guy who isn't close to getting it done to defeat. Wow, WTH would any coach think you can just ride one inexperienced unproven average goaltender to a cup?? Come on Knob...

“We learned from our mistakes last year” and here we are..they’re still making the same mistakes. Too many passengers, no grit.

Hymen also crossed checked to zadorav face as well

Edmonton is a lot like Toronto both have top tier 3 to 4 forwards no depth in the bottom 8 mediocre defense awful goaltending. If Edmonton gets past Vancouver they won't advance after that. Also the vast majority of the Oilers shots are from the outside. Plus Vancouver is breaking down the Oilers

can u imagine if gretzky got crosschecked in the face and none your team mates did anything

it's gonna be Pickard. 4 goals on 18 shots!

We need physicality......Bench Perry n Brown...Perry, too slow! . Insert Ernie and Carrick....Vinny needs to have a chat with Zadorov and Soucy on his first shift..... And put Kane on McDs line.

Tocc is out coaching naubgobbler by a landslide

ryan is 1000000000% right

In reality.. , if they had a brawl, Im sure Vinny can occupy Zadorov, while everyone else beats up the rest....Kane on Miller would be a good one ...👊😎

Hard to get involved in the game when you are playing less than 10 minutes...

Like Wine ?

Do you think Skinner really cares who starts the hockey game no. The players want to win a cup so throw Picks in try him out I’m sure Skinner will be all for it if it wins the team a game.

Oilers are one dimensional, they have a terrible defensive core, mediocre goalie and no physical presence. You cant outscore your lack of depth.

Skinner just can't do it and the physicality has been pathetic.

Too many oilers not getting enough minutes.

Knoblauch getting dummied by tochet its pathetic

How is goaltending not the reason they lost man. 4 goals in 15 shots thats unacceptable its the goalies job to male saves always has been! So which one is it his fault not his fault hes brutal cannot handle the heat never has been able to. Backup for life

This series will probably go seven games. Regardless of who wins, I believe Oilers are the 7th best playoff team right now, and the Canuckleheads are 8th. The Oilers goaltending will be better for the rest of this series. It couldn't get any worse. They will also begin getting more bounces. Having said this, I can't help feel that the Oilers will lose this series. I hope I am wrong, but it is hard to shake off the feeling. What an unlucky franchise. On the flip side, the Canucks have been very lucky this season. On paper, they should be a bubble to a wildcard team at best. I believe they have severely overachieved this season and will return to their bumbling selves next season after Tocchet's shine as coach wanes into the night. Go Oilers go! Message to the NHL: Protect your star players. There absolutely has to be favoritism towards the talented players in this league, just like there is in the NBA. The fact that McDavid and Draisaitl have not won a cup in Edmonton yet is a travesty. The reffing in these playoffs needs to be better. Canucks fans will remember 2011 and how the NHL made sure that Vancouver did not beat Boston by allowing the lowly Bruins to clutch and grab their way to a Stanley Cup. Although I didn't have a horse in that finals matchup, I remember how hurt everyone who was a Canucks fan was at how they've been robbed of a championship. The NHL does not want a Canadian franchise to win the cup. The fix is always there. Just look at how the oh hum boring LA Kings won two cups in the past. That team was the antidote for people suffering from insomnia. Anyways, enough said.

At least Gagner will play his heart out. Sit Mcfly and scared little Foegele for Carrick and Gagner.

Lets get Grant Fuhr out of retirement.....he could stop pucks better with his golf club.

Stutter much?

Canucks fan here. My thoughts. 1. Mcdavid Drai potent.. rest of the forwards are not able to do much. 2. Canucks way more physical... 3. Canucks better D overall. 4. Canucks winning face offs 5. I Of course...Silov outplaying oilers goalie. But still... games have been close... simply cause Drai and Mcdavid.

“I don’t care” “I don’t cheer” 🤨
