I would absolutely take the chance with the rookies/young goalies in the playoffs.

Just go back and look at Skinner's PO record: he has been removed as starter, repeatedly, after blowing PO games. I know he has been pretty good this season since the trade, but I'd have to go with the kids without the choke history.

I've watched more Oiler PO games than any other, and this guy was always the worst goalie on the ice. Every game. You might steal a game or two like that, but it’s really hard to win a series against top teams when your guy gives up a couple softies each game. It's heartbreaking.

Skinner and Silovs both suck at stopping breakaways too. Give the kid a chance!

Definitely give the kids a go
 
We were asleep for the first few minutes, then tilted that ice
 
This is a fun team to watch. Every line can score. Which means a lot in the playoffs.


I hope they can secure the playoffs this evening with a win. The devils are not laying down.

Just tuned into the radio feed and listened to the last two goal calls. 👍🐧

Hope to be able to watch the third

Really glad Skinner is ok. The guy could have lost his sight and his livelihood. He's damned lucky

Most likely, yes. But, the devils outplayed us most of that period.

Watching the video feed now. Grateful to be listening to the ol 29er call the game. He's agreeing with you that they're playing a little lax at times. He calls it like it is and I really appreciate that

Well that was a great closeout of the game. I can't say enough good things about Erik Karlsson. He's being the guy i thought he would be when they signed him. Damn impressive.

The whole team is impressive.
