i'm not sure if you guys read this but here is my take. i was done with skinner by the end of the 2nd in game 2. i'm not saying skinner is crap.. but van has his number. my thinking was for skin ti get a look from the bench. a new goalie a lot of the time brings new energy. i know the team in front of him is letting him down but that's what a good goalie doe... bails his team out.. and there was non of it... picard is great positionally and looked good in the games he played. i don't want to look to far forward but entertain me this. if the oil play dallas. with the nice performances picard put in during the regular season... who do you play.. i play picard until he shows me not to...
I watched 97 in the final minutes and he tentatively poked at the puck in the corner but did not come up with it. I would not use him in that tight must-win defensive situation. We need someone who will dig in, get roughed up and then hurl the puck across the rink into an empty net.
Next game sit perry put henrique or Carrick. Sit ceci is brutal put sketcher .Nurse is 9 years nhl veteran making the same mistake again and again .Is getting worse not better and that contract is a killer.
I get why everyone is high on Pickard, but he didnt really have a challenge. Skinner could have done 0.900 in front of that team tonight. Yes the goaltending is a huge issue but when the Oilers prove time and time again they can shutdown like that, why cant that just cover up the shortcomings? Doesn't overly help that every random no name goalie plays like prime Hasek against Edmonton. Thats been going on for years
I would have agreed with you if Game 1 didn't happen nor if Game 3 didn't happen. If Skinner had been 0.900 in any of those games the series could look very differently in EDM's favor. The issue is no one is too confident in tonight's do or die game that Skinner would have played 0.900 either, if he did then Pickard wouldn't be in net for this game. If EDM wins this series with Pickard in net they should start Skinner back in Game 1 of that new series and give the #1 goalie a chance to redeem himself, but now it's too risky.

Browny is the perfect addition to this podcast! Keeping it fun!
I am 100% with Strudwick in putting out Janmark defending the lead at the end of the game. Janmark is a beast.
I was happy to see 13 to close it out. PK guys are doing so well this series
I agree that the 3rd line needs to be better. I would put Brown on the 3rd line and Perry on the 4th line.
Great Pod!! I believed 10000000
I dont understand why they dont put the penalty kill unit in the final minutes when your trying to hold the lead

Not just Ekholm missing with goalie pull, why was Conner on ice. Put in January or something else I that moment
Dont do anything great if you can withstand the congratulations
We need Sam Gagner, bench perry

Nope. He bailed the team out in the 2nd period. Skinner hasn't done that this series
