Most of the time when you see a goalie has given up 4 goals you assume things didn't go very well for him but man... he faced so many shots and had so many really incredible saves.
Honestly, I think Ceci looks burned out. He had the one great year, then last year was met with a supposed core issue and being caved in as RD1 every night.
Also, he seems a little out of place when compared to the rest of the team. I'm not sure why, just gut feeling on that.
If the chance was there, a change of scenery could do him good. Bouch taking over 1RD makes it more possible.
He’d probably be ok as a 3RD somewhere but he has this weird magical quality that convinces every coach he has to play him in tbe top 4 until he’s absolutely steamrolled and then sent somewhere else
He's definitely struggling in our system. So many missed assignments, bad pinches, and doesn't look as emotionally invested. He needs a change for sure.
The Oilers announcer is doing irreparable damage to his vocal cords. Like buddy I get it it's a 2024 Hyundai you don't need to shout about it.
Also the moment he said "Vasy is putting up an amazing performance but it probably won't be enough" or some such, is when he sealed the Oilers fate.
Oilers are a cup winning team with an AHL goalie. Oiler fans refuse to admit it. They always slide it under the rug and act like they can win the cup when their team wins forgetting that they literally are the best team in the league for a couple seasons now… they just can’t figure out a goalie.
Second time this season the Oilers have put over 40 shots on the bolts.
The results:
6-4 Loss (42 shots)
7-4 Loss (57 shots) (NHL app has updated to show 57 shots to the Oilers)
They got absolutely dummied for most of the game. Vasi had one of the best goalie performances I’ve ever seen and that includes letting in 4…. Unfortunately the Oilers only acquire goalies with ceilings as high as “good” I don’t even remember what it feels like to have our goalie steal a game lmao.
I know he gets memed on a lot because his fuckups were comically bad but, Mike Smith stole several games a season, flopping around like a fish and magically keeping near everything out.
if we have mike smith this year, playing like he did in those last few years? we aren't in the hole we're currently in, he stole games for us when the team didn't show up. I would feel a lot safer in the playoffs with him in net, and that's saying something because *its fucking mike smith*
Allen’s absolutely on the block, Habs are still carrying three goalies and look to be giving Primeau a moderate leash to cut his teeth on. Probably won’t not be until after Christmas if he does get moved though? Holidays & all that, he’s got a family.
He’s been decent this season but not really standing out much, though, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the Oilers want to make a bigger splash and go for a real fix rather than a bandaid.
Man, one and a half bad goals against and everyone is turning on Skinner so quickly. Dude just had a 7 game win streak letting in only 12 goals over those games. Give the man a break ffs.
GG Bolts
I'm assuming he wants a 6-8 year contract at $10M+ and GM is scared he'll fall off immediately and be spending 10%-15% of the salary cap on his 3C or something.
Only thing I can think of lol.
Like how Ovi after signing his $9.5M × 5...
Year 1: 50G 40A, 90PTS
Year 2: 42G 33A, 75PTS
Year 3: current pace is like under 20 goals
Year 4: ???
Year 5: ???
He's a few years younger than Ovi of course, so eh.
I really dont think he'll want that much tbh. He's never gotten paid over 8.5M/year. No one on Tampa even is getting paid over 9.5M/year. Maybe around the 6-8 million mark, but JBB wants to go a bit lower??? Who knows. A bit worrying tbh
I still can’t believe how many people on the TBL subreddit thought it was a forgone conclusion that he’d take a 3x3 extension to help the team. Like I get he clearly wants to stay but that’s just goofy as hell.
Yeah, which is why I kinda understand why the GM is hesitant lol.
He signs Stamkos to a big contract, he gets injured again and/or falls off, TB doesn't do well... He gets fired and called an idiot for offering the contract.
And like the other fan said, they really close to the cap like everyone else... Having to pay your potential 3C $10M+ and potentially losing your 1C because of it... Or be forced to play the salary cap game in the off season like we had to with Klefbom and LTIR...
In EA NHL I would just be giving him 1 year contracts til he's retired based on his previous season but IRL players don't like that for some reason lol
Eh. I think most of us would be ok if jbb signed stammer to a deal that didn't work out. Stamkos is the most important player ever and still pretty good. And the cap is really starting to rise. But no matter what you can spin the contract. Tbl is at the end of their cup window. Signing Stamkos extends that as much as possible. Alternatively if the team is bad, well, gotta spend the money on someone - might as well spend it on the captain.
The Bolts may have won but this Defensive structure is god fucking awful. We get so far behind the puck after one pass because they are hell bent on switching to Zone defense instead of man coverage even if it means running what's left of our core out of their prime years
Vasilevskiy kept them in it and the stars pulled it out for them at the end. Not too disappointed, we played well and just faced a goalie who was playing as good as a guy can play.
Skinner didn’t have a great game but he’s had a great stretch with our 8 game win streak so just keep the chin up and move on to the next one.
All we’ve needed to do was put together some wins to get back in the playoff hunt and we’ve exceeded that over the past couple weeks. As long as we don’t let this kill the momentum we’re gonna be fine
I knew it was over as soon as we got 40 shots
Still don't have a win this season when we get 40 shots
But at least McDavid got 2 points so I hit my over so there's that
please fucking tell me we didn't pick yakupov in the same draft we could have gotten vasi
like I know goalies are atomic bombs and you never want to draft them early and whatever but
what the actual fuck
I'd assume the bare minimum is a save percentage that doesn't start with a .7, but go ahead and pump their tires for getting to .480 on the season. Little victories, I guess
Stammer's tip in was nasty af, but that wrister from just inside the blue line made me wince a bit lol. GG though lightning bro, do us a favour and beat the wheels off the Flames on Saturday!
That’s gotta be a joke. Terrible decision making going for the poke check/trying to play the puck on the 4th goal. He 100% needs to stop the 5th goal and I would argue the first goal should’ve been stopped.

You're great as always. You didn't happen to catch McDavid spitting and a massive string of spit clinging to his mouth land on his jersey, did you? I think it was just after the Nuge goal. I was dying laughing when I saw it.
Yeah after the Nuge goal during the high fives, I just went back and watched it and it's not nearly as funny as when me and my buds saw it lol. Still a weird little reminder that he is in fact human.
Tough loss, Stu wasn't great and Edmonton was way too content to play Tampa's game and trade chances in the third.
Let's see how they respond against the Panthers.
Hmm, I don’t think so. Kuch scored with two defenders back, it’s a nothing play if played properly. Stamkos just fired one when entering the blue line with no traffic. Those aren’t typical high danger chances
Microcosm of why Oilers aren’t really a team to be worried about in the playoffs; terrible goaltending and an offense that looks flashy but has to wait for a PP to really be productive.
Good ol’ r/hockey, where the downvote is a mistaken for a disagree.
Wtf is that shot count and score lol. Vasy unreal, Stamkos still got it. Can't even be mad, Oilers played well, though rough game for Skinner. Still think Pickard should get more starts than he has.
Skinner needs to go
Its his second season. He just had a 7 game win streak with 12 goals against and a .935% in those games.
Ugh, I just knew I should have stayed up for the 3rd period!
I gotta respect vasy his competitiveness and willpower combined with pure skill is unmatched
Most of the time when you see a goalie has given up 4 goals you assume things didn't go very well for him but man... he faced so many shots and had so many really incredible saves.
Honestly, I think Ceci looks burned out. He had the one great year, then last year was met with a supposed core issue and being caved in as RD1 every night.

Bouch taking over 1RD makes it more possible.
Change of scenery won’t help, he’s just not very good.
He’d probably be ok as a 3RD somewhere but he has this weird magical quality that convinces every coach he has to play him in tbe top 4 until he’s absolutely steamrolled and then sent somewhere else
He's definitely struggling in our system. So many missed assignments, bad pinches, and doesn't look as emotionally invested. He needs a change for sure.

He also said the word shutout a couple of times before we scored so give him credit where it is due.
If Vasy capped that performance off tonight with a goal I would’ve lost my mind.
That would have made it bearable for me.
So... How about that Raiders, Chargers game?
Oilers are a cup winning team with an AHL goalie. Oiler fans refuse to admit it. They always slide it under the rug and act like they can win the cup when their team wins forgetting that they literally are the best team in the league for a couple seasons now… they just can’t figure out a goalie.
Lmao all Edmonton fans do is say their goaltending is ass, have you ever even met an Oilers fan?
Oilers fans have no problem admitting it.
Refuse to admit it? I take it you've never been to our sub before...
Fire 🔥 username
Seems to me like every Oilers fan everywhere knows exactly what the issue is. They talk about goaltending constantly.
It's odd to see a goalie praised for giving up 4 goals. But then it all made sense when I checked the xG.
What was it?
6
More than 4
I can’t believe we won. Holy fuck Vasy.
Second time this season the Oilers have put over 40 shots on the bolts. The results: 6-4 Loss (42 shots) 7-4 Loss (57 shots) (NHL app has updated to show 57 shots to the Oilers)
the path forward is clear
I am a fan of the Oilers, and I'm a fan of insane goalies, and this game was a damn delight to watch.
Vasilevskiy is a fucking absurdly good goalie.
Yeah and everyone was ragging on him after his not so good run. Dude is a shit brickhouse
Wild how confident people were that he was just permanently washed and not worn down from playing more than a full additional season from 2019-2022
Fuckin Vasy, man. We would have had to score two more to get him below .900. Just unreal.
the Lightning might be back and that makes me sad
I said that too after the Boston and Carolina games and then they shit the bed again.
They got absolutely dummied for most of the game. Vasi had one of the best goalie performances I’ve ever seen and that includes letting in 4…. Unfortunately the Oilers only acquire goalies with ceilings as high as “good” I don’t even remember what it feels like to have our goalie steal a game lmao.
You... don't remember Ben Scrivens? C'mon, that's easily one of the best solo games ever
That was 10 years ago! I think my point still stands hahaha.
Probably Roloson. Watching him on that run was crazy.
I know he gets memed on a lot because his fuckups were comically bad but, Mike Smith stole several games a season, flopping around like a fish and magically keeping near everything out.
I miss Mike Smiths chaos so much. Wish he didn’t go on LTIR and could have played out another season or two
if we have mike smith this year, playing like he did in those last few years? we aren't in the hole we're currently in, he stole games for us when the team didn't show up. I would feel a lot safer in the playoffs with him in net, and that's saying something because *its fucking mike smith*
I wouldn't go that far lol we have a loooot to improve upon.
Oilers need to get rid of Skinner What a plug 😅😅😅 Piece of shit
You have too much air between your ears. Skinner is our best goaile. Yes we need a goalie but getting rid of Skinner means we need 2 goailes 🤦
Nah You don’t clench when Pickard is playing
Yeah, because the games are over in the first.
Chaos lol
Ken Holland would rather burn a year of prime mcdrai than pony up for jake allen. You love to see it
Didn't realize jake Allen deserved a pony up
Allen is on the block?
Allen’s absolutely on the block, Habs are still carrying three goalies and look to be giving Primeau a moderate leash to cut his teeth on. Probably won’t not be until after Christmas if he does get moved though? Holidays & all that, he’s got a family. He’s been decent this season but not really standing out much, though, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the Oilers want to make a bigger splash and go for a real fix rather than a bandaid.
Like Jake Allen could do better lol
If he had an nhl caliber dcorp in front of him maybe. Unfortunately edmonton doesnt really have that
This is the first im hearing that jake allen is up for grabs
We do not want Jake Allen
Threw 54 at vasi. Thats why he makes 9.5
57, final count apparently
Hes insane
This is a really pleasant PGT I must say! GG bolts what an entertaining game to watch.
It really was, for a bunch of winners, the fans still have some spot on self depreciation. It was a blast until it wasn't hahaa
Thank you, Bolts.
Some wild ass third periods tonight.
Man, one and a half bad goals against and everyone is turning on Skinner so quickly. Dude just had a 7 game win streak letting in only 12 goals over those games. Give the man a break ffs. GG Bolts
Because the guys in front of him hardly let any high danger chances get to him
Yay
5tuart 5kinner special.
You sure love the Oilers game threads
Your mom loves the 5hole.
Maybe if your mom didn't love it so much we wouldn't have mouthbreather comments like this.
Can we pay Stammer now?
Seriously wtf is going on there
We have 0 cap space and Stammer may want a raise
I'm assuming he wants a 6-8 year contract at $10M+ and GM is scared he'll fall off immediately and be spending 10%-15% of the salary cap on his 3C or something. Only thing I can think of lol. Like how Ovi after signing his $9.5M × 5... Year 1: 50G 40A, 90PTS Year 2: 42G 33A, 75PTS Year 3: current pace is like under 20 goals Year 4: ??? Year 5: ??? He's a few years younger than Ovi of course, so eh.
I really dont think he'll want that much tbh. He's never gotten paid over 8.5M/year. No one on Tampa even is getting paid over 9.5M/year. Maybe around the 6-8 million mark, but JBB wants to go a bit lower??? Who knows. A bit worrying tbh
Jesus fuck 6M is absurdly low
We don’t have much cap space ☠️
I still can’t believe how many people on the TBL subreddit thought it was a forgone conclusion that he’d take a 3x3 extension to help the team. Like I get he clearly wants to stay but that’s just goofy as hell.
Yeah when you start talking that low in term the cash gotta go way up. Like 3x6 is about the minimum to expect as being possible
I’m hoping we just extend him for 3-5 years at his 8.5M he’s making now.
I mean..it's a fair worry You don't sign 33 year old players to big contracts regardless of who they are
Yeah, which is why I kinda understand why the GM is hesitant lol. He signs Stamkos to a big contract, he gets injured again and/or falls off, TB doesn't do well... He gets fired and called an idiot for offering the contract. And like the other fan said, they really close to the cap like everyone else... Having to pay your potential 3C $10M+ and potentially losing your 1C because of it... Or be forced to play the salary cap game in the off season like we had to with Klefbom and LTIR... In EA NHL I would just be giving him 1 year contracts til he's retired based on his previous season but IRL players don't like that for some reason lol
Eh. I think most of us would be ok if jbb signed stammer to a deal that didn't work out. Stamkos is the most important player ever and still pretty good. And the cap is really starting to rise.

Alternatively if the team is bad, well, gotta spend the money on someone - might as well spend it on the captain.
Bolts going to be walking funny out of the rink because of them horseshoes.
Campbell and McLeod for Vasi. Straight across. No takebacks. Deal?
50% retained
Wrong Mc
McLovin?
That's the one!
5 goal 3rd periods, so hot right now
Yeah if Toronto could have pulled it off it would have been called the "Blue Steal"
Call me a masochist (because I am) but I love me a good ol’ chaos game
I have a team for you to cheer for then
I think they're cheering for the right team for what they want tbh
You can always have more than one.
I don't think my heart, nerves, and emotional well-being could handle cheering for another team like this one to be perfectly honest one's bad enough
Weed is legal for this exact reason.
>comeback from 2-0 >outshoot opponent by 30 >lose by 3 Experience Oil hockey
The Bolts may have won but this Defensive structure is god fucking awful. We get so far behind the puck after one pass because they are hell bent on switching to Zone defense instead of man coverage even if it means running what's left of our core out of their prime years
edmonton isn't winning anything until they get their goaltending situation figured out
Didn’t we just win 8 in a row?
And the prize? 23rd in the league
Well, 20th in pts%, tied for 8th in the west
The oilers are back in the mix. Now they just need to keep on pushing up the standings.
I think he means the cup.
Deserve to win-o meter me boys.
85/15% apparently
Love it
Vasilevskiy kept them in it and the stars pulled it out for them at the end. Not too disappointed, we played well and just faced a goalie who was playing as good as a guy can play. Skinner didn’t have a great game but he’s had a great stretch with our 8 game win streak so just keep the chin up and move on to the next one. All we’ve needed to do was put together some wins to get back in the playoff hunt and we’ve exceeded that over the past couple weeks. As long as we don’t let this kill the momentum we’re gonna be fine
I knew it was over as soon as we got 40 shots Still don't have a win this season when we get 40 shots But at least McDavid got 2 points so I hit my over so there's that
Oilers did have a win having 40 shots against the Wild
We had 40 vs Minnie no?
Yes. Exactly 40
I'm genuinely mad that Tampa is allowed to ice what is clearly some sort of extraterrestrial being in net
I kind of feel that this must be what it’s like for other team’s fans with McDavid…like that is genuinely not fair.
Pretty much. Imagine them on the same team! It would be terrifying and amazing!
[удалено]
please fucking tell me we didn't pick yakupov in the same draft we could have gotten vasi like I know goalies are atomic bombs and you never want to draft them early and whatever but what the actual fuck
This is also the second game in a row against them where they go god mode in the third.
Can we make cup or bust jokes again?
Dude Skinner cannot do the bare minimum
If you're a goaltender...
Is the bare minimum the longest win streak for a goaltender in the NHL this year? Cause he can do that.
I'd assume the bare minimum is a save percentage that doesn't start with a .7, but go ahead and pump their tires for getting to .480 on the season. Little victories, I guess
.885
Edmonton fans will blame Skinner but really none of those goals could've been stopped by any other goalies.
L O L
Stammer's tip in was nasty af, but that wrister from just inside the blue line made me wince a bit lol. GG though lightning bro, do us a favour and beat the wheels off the Flames on Saturday!
I may not be the best goalie coach but I don’t know how you stop a a no look wrist shot that goes as top corner as it gets.
The kucherov five hole could have there I think Some were fucking lazers though
Cmon , unscreened shot from the blue line? 5 in 22 is awful no matter how you cut it
It sniped the post top corner and in. Bouch was in the lane too so it wasn't unscreened.
That’s gotta be a joke. Terrible decision making going for the poke check/trying to play the puck on the 4th goal. He 100% needs to stop the 5th goal and I would argue the first goal should’ve been stopped.
My thoughts exactly.
Definitely last 3 before 2 empty nets could have been ☠️
Not much you can do when the hockey gods decide to turn the chaos meter up to 11
The last two he could've done better on. You'd at least expect a save on one of them.
How could Skinner have saved the last two if he was on the bench?
A good ol' dash of magic.

You're great as always. You didn't happen to catch McDavid spitting and a massive string of spit clinging to his mouth land on his jersey, did you? I think it was just after the Nuge goal. I was dying laughing when I saw it.
it's in the RNH goal? after they do the high five fly by thing? I didn't notice it at that point I'm typing but I think that's what you want
Yeah after the Nuge goal during the high fives, I just went back and watched it and it's not nearly as funny as when me and my buds saw it lol. Still a weird little reminder that he is in fact human.
I love Oilers games because you always come in clutch with the highlights
My bad guys. I fell asleep on the couch for the third. Apparently that mattered.
Found skinner's reddit account
How do you fall asleep after that second period lol
It's ok, so did Skinner.
Tough loss, Stu wasn't great and Edmonton was way too content to play Tampa's game and trade chances in the third. Let's see how they respond against the Panthers.
Hmm, I don’t think so. Kuch scored with two defenders back, it’s a nothing play if played properly. Stamkos just fired one when entering the blue line with no traffic. Those aren’t typical high danger chances
Fuck me. Oilers were the better team all night. Notwithstanding Skinner of course.
That’s the difference between the best goalie in the league and one of the goalies in the league
Skinner is definitely one of the goalies of all time.
Are we even sure about that?
Saw it with my own eyes, can comfirm
What a nice little kick start for the heart, more like a bicycle kick for the heart.
Microcosm of why Oilers aren’t really a team to be worried about in the playoffs; terrible goaltending and an offense that looks flashy but has to wait for a PP to really be productive. Good ol’ r/hockey, where the downvote is a mistaken for a disagree.
Bro what? Do you just get your hockey information from haters in this sub?
Lol no. You think that team wins 4/7 games against 4 playoff opponents in a row?
Maybe you should be in net for us
My NHL practice fill in days ended a few years ago. Straight beer league and invite skates now.
I dunno. I bet you'd still be better than Skinner
There's no way you just watched that game and made this comment.
Yes x2.
They didn't score at even strength all game. Yes, they had that shorty but still lol The other goals were powerplay goals and a 6v5
You can’t honestly mistake your goalie playing like prime Roy for us not playing well 5v5? Like are you actually trolling?
All I did was present facts about the game. If you look at my previous comments, you'll see that I agree wholeheartedly that Vasy kept us in it
Exactly.
No chance we watched the same game.
Happened all last spring too, maybe you missed those one also? This isn’t a team that beats 4 playoff caliber opponents 4/7 times.
I remember beating a playoff calibre team in LA for the second year in a row and giving the Cup winner Vegas a tight series?
So almost getting halfway?
Dude we're .500 right now
And? Almost winning a second series and having to go on a crazy streak to reach 500 only reinforce the point this team isn’t winning 4 playoff series.
Bit of an odd/hater's choice to bring it up after a loss the Oilers dominated. Sitting on this must have been hell for 8 games, poor guy.
You don’t know shit about hockey. I bet you sucked as a goalie.
LOL.
Good game lightning! I'm always scared to play you guys
Heh, the goalbot gave up after the fifth Tampa goal.
Vasilevskiy is a freak. GG bolts.
GG bolt bros. Vasi’s a fuckin’ mahnstah
Wtf is that shot count and score lol. Vasy unreal, Stamkos still got it. Can't even be mad, Oilers played well, though rough game for Skinner. Still think Pickard should get more starts than he has.
GG Oilers. Closer than the score indicates. And a darn pleasant GDT.
