Add in Frederic-Kane-Ekholm=Glory.

Stat muse says Oilers have an 87.1% PK last 10 games. Along with a 33% PP. Good arrows

hunter1909

Oilers played very well.

Can see why they’re third favorites to win the cup.

Funny enough I’d expect Ekholm to return and make a massive difference to this team. He’s Lidstrom light as far as I’m concerned and the healthier he is the better.

Litke 94

Skinner, Bouchard, and Nuge. When those three play well, this team looks so much better.

Really good game from Skinner, and man, Bouchard is starting to look like the real Bouchard again. That would be lovely!

Boil-in-the-Oil

THAT was the Stu that justifies referring to him as a value player… tonight we got FULL value. Consistency has been an issue for him this season, let’s see if he can maintain this level… he did it a ton last season, his growth continues, time for repeat Skinner v.2025.

BTW . . . LT, he heard you, he heard you good… Nuge was performing like his old self, great positioning, great stick. He was real good.

Todd Macallan

Massive W against a desperate home team whilst missing arguably their top d man and winger.

SKOilerFan

Wow, 2 1 again – great goaltending again – Now can they get that consistently?
Some emotion from 97 that we haven’t seen for a long time – Need more of that

Scungilli Slushy

Stu is a wildcard. If in position great. Moving an adventure. Glove never know

Ancient Oilers Fan

Absolutely, you sure as hell wouldn’t want to give him any credit.

Scungilli Slushy

I give Stu credit. Just pointing out what is well known

hunter1909

Oilers were down Ekholm, their defensive rock.

Lummer

With the game on the line, Shesterkin let in a couple of soft ones, and Skinner stood tall. Well done Stu!

Gaz Gazzersson

Forged in the crucible! #PlayLaBambaBaby!

Todd Macallan

Drai and empty net goals, name a less iconic duo.

hunter1909

Draisaitl’s getting 500+ goals in his stellar career.

He’s also a paragon of sportsmen being near perfect role models.

Paulie

Skinner having good fame in goal

Todd Macallan

He definitely is.

SKOilerFan

Missed slufoot on Brown. More situational officiating.

hunter1909

Brown is the player you want to take one for the team.

KnightRain

BOOM!!! Connor finally shoots!!! What a shot!

hunter1909

If I were a betting man…

I’d stick whatever I can afford for McDavid to either equal or beat the playoff goal record.

BornInAGretzkyJersey

Prime time McDavid with a goal scorer’s goal, going up main street on Broadway.

LMHF#1

Connor shot the puck. Alert the media.

Gaz Gazzersson

McDavid with the New York bo-dagger!

fistycuff

Why doesnt this Mcdavid guy shoot more? He could get 60 plus with a shot like that…

SKOilerFan

Passes up shots so he can surprise the G when he finally does?

Reja

He’s passed up at least 3 shots in the slot.

Paulie

Vintage McD!!!!

OriginalPouzar

D-men need to stop throwing prayers to the middle on the rush – those are the plays that head for fast breaks the other way.

SKOilerFan

What I’m the actual F is that call about? If anything it’s a cross check on Skinner.

fistycuff

The term is “game management”. Anything to keep the game close.

OriginalPouzar

3 forwards low plus Nurse – leads to a fast break the other way and a PK.

With a lead in the third.

SKOilerFan

Thers been a notable increase in D up in the play last 3 games. End result has been an increase in 2 on 1s against

Mato

Extended O-Zone time for the Rangers because of a careless giveaway by Bouch.

OriginalPouzar

Egregious soft non-clear by Walman led to that sequence of pain.

KnightRain

It’s like the Oilers teach that, eh? Smh…

Paulie

Arvi’s got a hard shot, may have deflected up off D man’s stick too.

KnightRain

BOOM!!! Arvi Rocket!!! Where has that been all year!!!

fistycuff

wow. Decent shot by Arvy, but not sure what Suresterschkin was doing there.

SKOilerFan

Deflected up by D stick.
Need to shoot the puck more often

OriginalPouzar

Terrible goal by Sheshterkin!

KnightRain

If it was against Stu, I would agree with you. But it was Shersh so clearly it was a fabulous shot.

Reja

It went off the defenders stick.

Ancient Oilers Fan

Interestingly, that’s what happened on the SCW goal last June. How many people vilify Skinner for that goal.

It’s tough to be a goalie in good old Edmonton because all goals are your fault for some people. You could have done something.

Reja

The bar was set high by Moog-Fuhr-Ranford-Joseph in a 17 year glorious era for the good guys.

Brown and Nuge wont ever score again…

Todd Macallan

What a fantastic play by Podz to get him that puck. I know Nuge has struggled mightily but still cannot believe he missed that finish.

OriginalPouzar

Great play by Arvi, great play by Nuge (on the pass retrieval), great play by Podz – Nuge can’t finish.

OriginalPouzar

I will say, as much as Connor Brown can’t finish, it seems when he is with Drai he is all over the scoring chances….

KnightRain

Looks like the rangers have upper their effort but we haven’t. Gotta tighten those workboots and start winning some battles, fellas.

LMHF#1

Bouchard has to cut that garbage out.

Mato

Can he, though??

LMHF#1

Double missed assignment from Connor Brown there. But he’s Knoblauch’s boy so Leon’s got to carry him.

big-oil

On his knees, stick off the ice…

BornInAGretzkyJersey

It’s a little thing, but I really liked that forearm shiver Max Jones doled out while gaining some room to split the two NYR defenders in the offensive zone there. It buys time, and possibly buys some time on subsequent plays.

OriginalPouzar

Stecher hurt himself on that hit on Rempe.

LMHF#1

Knoblauch right back to the previous lines. Clown stuff.

KnightRain

Loved how our superstar just launched the puck to the crowded area and let the guys muck it up. That’ll open up for cross seam passes later if they gotta think about net front, which they haven’t had to much.
J Skinner gettin some love. He’s earned it. McD with Skinner and Arvi has some serious bite if they’re all playing hard, like that shift that drew the penalty.
Other Skinner guy is doing his job. Keep steady, Stu. We need ya, buddy.

Yukon Jerk

The Worm worming

SKOilerFan

Wormy goal

KnightRain

BOOM!!! Perry gets dirty!!!

fistycuff

Wouldnt it be weird if Perry gets 20 this year? He is having a very good season. Especially getting mostly 4th line minutes. Perry is the definition of a player you hate unless he is on your team.

KnightRain

I sure friggin hated him, too! lol But he knows where the goals are scored and isn’t afraid to get dirty. I know he’s the type to tell players to get dirty and he’s proving it.

fistycuff

hell of an effort by Perry! good goal off his knees!

BornInAGretzkyJersey

Perry’s skill from his knees is downright scary.

J Skinner dippsy doodles on display today!

fistycuff

J Skinner having a nice period. Please coach give him some Connor time…

OriginalPouzar

The only think less crisp that the Oilers right now are the Rangers in their own zone.

OriginalPouzar

McDavid STRUGGLING with the puck early.

KnightRain

The reason Connor doesn’t get many calls like that is cuz he rarely goes down. It could be called every other shift, really.

SKOilerFan

Been saying he needs to sell more calls for a long time. Skinner did a good job of it this period

KnightRain

J Skinner with another backcheck and steal…come on, coach…

OriginalPouzar

McDavid must not be able to feel he can beat a goalie from the mid-slot.
