[@vonlarano1824]

Skinner did amazing

[@Hello-sw3en]

Yup. He's probably the most to get shit on if he does bad. But half the goals on him were cuz he was screen or our own defencemen passed it to the opponent via a deflection. I remember when Silvos got scored on because of a screen everyone praised him saying he did all he could and it wasn't his fault. When that happens to Skinner everyone trashes him. Skinner gonna win the cup for the Oilers.

[@LARGO125]

​@@Shantel430true, but remember, Skinner was a Calder candidate last year. This is only his 2nd full season as well.

Congrats Edmonton. From a Flames fan who’s a big McDavid fan. He’s gotta win a couple cups. He’s to good not to. If it’s gotta be with the Oilers then so be it. Hopefully Calgary is competitive in 7-9 years and that’s when Connor will be on his downtrend and maybe Calgary will take the torch then. I don’t see any team remaining in the playoffs beating the Oilers. Congrats on being the first Canadian team in 31 years to hoist Lord Stanley.

​@alfredallenspach84 same guy to bailed on the hyman goal 😂 could of picked that puck up no problem.

[@francischabot1412]

Doesn't really matter it's mostly on Tanev. He had a back up right behind RNH and was against a relatively weak player physically in RNH and he was not able to cleanly clear the zone. It should have been an easy zone exit in control.

[@lilpigboy]

@@francischabot1412 Tanev didn't look like he played that hard enough but credit to RNH. His puck retrieval and play on the boards is very good, plus RNH is 6'1" 195 lbs, Tanev is 6'2" 195 lbs, pretty even

[@wc1957]

Let's hope the calls go the Oilers way one of these games.

[@marcelstanford430]

When McDavid got that bogus 4 minute penalty in the third I knew right then he had a fire lit under him to win this game.

[@bluethunder1951]

That was an incidental high stick caused by holding the stick that should’ve been called the refs arm, but Duchene sold it by calling 911 at the bench.

[@joshuagraham1823]

Maybe he should keep his stick down. Third high stick from him in the playoffs, and two drew blood. 💯 deserved 4 minutes. I'm Not a fan of either team. He's still a phenomenal player, but that's a penalty all day everyday.

[@bluethunder1951]

@@joshuagraham1823 maybe the other team should stop clutching and grabbing his stick if they can’t play against him fairly, what is he supposed to do if the refs don’t call that, just stop and let the puck go to the other team, you obviously don’t have much hockey sense.

So many Stars fans after the series coming out and saying we got beat by the better team and saying they now want the Oilers to win the cup ,those are real hockey fans who get it! Stars are a world class excellent hockey team with wicked fans who deserve to win the cup and they will in the near future imo.

[@Polentaccio]

I gotta say, that first OT was some of the best hockey I have seen in a while. Back to back, speed, chances, back check, fore check, goaltending. What a sport.

[@mattlau]

3 straight wins now with Skinner. What a smart play by the coach. Like I said, they needed to instill confidence in their starting goalie if they want to have a chance to go far. All due respect to Pickard, but you need to rely on your starter in these games.

[@matthewbarry7026]

Skinner has the higher ceiling, but Pickard has done everything and more you'd want from a back up this season. He may be back at some point...

[@DustyPayne]

You said 3? I think you mean 2. Pickard played game 6. Skinner has the lowest save percentage in 20 years in the playoffs. I'm an Oilers fan but do not praise Skinner for one good performance. Even his shutout was on only 13 saves. Oilers are leading the league in points in the playoffs which is the only thing saving them at the moment cause the goaltending is horrendous.

[@shawnc0858]

​@DustyPayne That's not really true now. Skinner currently has a higher save percentage than 3 other goaltenders in these playoffs, including Hellebuyck

[@DustyPayne]

@@shawnc0858 lol okay so teams that lost in first round had a worse save percentage. It's why they aren't in the playoffs anymore. Skinner is in the finals and can barely stop a shot that he hasn't been screened on. What I'm saying is that Skinner is not a great goalie. He's barely average

Edmontonians are used to these heart attack scares from the Oilers

[@Traumatree]

The goals from Dallas were pure lucky ones. The refs helped over that with +10 PP min and Dallas couldn't even score. Refs also 'forgot' to call stick hit on Skinner's head-mask and stop 4 puck-drop that Oilers won fairly. If that is not biased to help Dallas, I don't know what this is. Dallas do not belong in the WFC at all.
