"Pickard can't be worse" is not a winning mindset, that's why I didn't mention it.
YOU BLEW IT AT THE TRADE DEADLINE !
Clearly Campbell can't keep giving up 2 or 3 free goals every start. Mental errors and poor preparation are no doubt factoring in along with the Oilers giving up too many good chances. Campbell is just not a good option right now. Let's hope Skinner gets on a roll like he was before the all star break. Its probably too late to try brining Pickard up. His AHL stats are not that great anyway.
Your audio level sucks, needs repair. Campbell also needs repair (maybe therapy or something). Goaltending is 70% mental, and he's just not there. No easy answers on this. Since Oilers elected to nothing about getting a reasonably legit # 3 goalie they could bring in as needed, they have to hope Skinner will be able to do the job. Campbell is harder on himself than the fans and media could ever be. He was like that in Toronto as well. I'm only half kidding about therapy.
It is a critical point … of course.. this team will last so long .. Time is running out… I would say wake up and smell the coffee.,
I love jack but a zambonie driver could do a better job
Before trading jesse should have tried him in net 😂
Pickard has NHL experience. BOTH regular and Playoff games. He is about the same age as Soupy and has been around. He apparently had a very good training camp. (…the one Soupy barely played in???)…..And has been good for the Condors. so why not give Pickard at least one start and see how he is?
Then give Campbell some consecutive starts in the AHL.
Ask yourself this….when did Campbell play his best this year?…….When he went 8–0 to start 2023.
Skinner had just became a new Dad and they were playing Campbell a lot because they had to
.
When did things start to slip again? ….AFTER the All-star break.
Maybe THAT is the problem. Campbell is not a great guy to share the net with, despite his positive attitude.
You either play the hell out of him (until he gets injured) or don't bother?
That is harder to do since Skinner has surpassed him in every category.
In which case Pickard truly might be better in a role as "backup."
Regardless, the emergence of Skinner this year and the ongoing saga of Campbell means Holland has some decision's and work to do this summer. Edmonton might not be the right place for Campbell.
Especially if they can get a more consistent and cheaper partner for Skinner.
Nothin' we can do but pray that Skinner can carry us in the playoffs.
LET'S GO OILERS !!!
Here's one more thing to think about: what can we do? I think the best thing Oilers fans can do is send out words of support and encouragement. No matter what, whether we keep him or not, we want this guy to get better. Better for us or better for trade value. Unless you have an in with his coaching staff, we should just make sure we don't rattle him further with an uproar of ill will.
Give Calvin Picard a chance to back up Skinner, send Jack Campbell to farm system , HAVE him fixed his mechanic problem, other wise oilers.. no going far into playoff ….
I think it more has to do with first year with a new team jitters and expected to more than he has this year.
Campbell is in a self-confidence crisis. I hope the Oilers will go through and play in the playoffs.
Campbell sucks…no other words…his confidence is shot…personally I'd send him down and bring up Pickard…look at a buy out this summer…what a terrible mistake.
why was kostin scratched last night?
I do not understand taking kostin out last game at all, absolutely dumb
No. The real issue is that the team has lost confidence in him. They play differently in front of Skinner. And that includes McDavid. First there was Koskinen who cost them a season. Now it's Campbell. If management can't get better in goal. McDavid will walk.
Smitty has the 12th highest playoff save percentage of all time. Fans were way to hard on him
I've said it a thousand times, and I'll say it again, the Edmonton Oilers organization is an absolute wizard at mismanging goaltenders, hence , the goaltenders are always subpar. I'm a Wichita Thunder fan, and also a beer league tender who follows the goaltending situation very closely, and I can honestly say, the goaltending has suffered because of sub-par management decisions on every level, whether it be signing over the hill tenders who now are hurting your salary cap at $2 mil a yr to playing musical tenders on every level since 2017 with the mismangment of tenders on the farm including the following: Dylan Wells, Shane Starrett, Ilya Konovalov, Nick Ellis, Al (what are you doing with my life) Montoya, Mikko (lower than a beer league level glove hand) Koskinen, Anton Forsberg, Troy Grosenick, to name a FEW. Every SINGLE tender on the farm since like 2017 has been mismanaged. How do I know this? I have watched the mis-management of them in Wichita since 2017. If you don't believe me, you should have seen the minor-midget "practices" I saw Rodrigue run when he'd stop in in Wichita to work with Starrett, Wells, and Skinner, in the 2017-2018 through 2018-2019 seasons. I was like, is this like a minor-midget, pee-wee practice/camp? It was laughable. Then there are the random, pick-ups and departures of people like Anton Forsberg, Nick Ellis, and the etc. Like what the hell are you doing trading for and paying for Troy Grosenick in 2020 and shipping him off to Boston (if my memory serves) after you wasted the money to get him here…I could go on and on with this. Edmonton: If you work for this organization, you have to have a resume of pissing money away on tenders and mismanaging them and never have the wherewithal to develop one. The one exception to this is Stuart Skinner, but he's still developing and not in the solid starter, 60 games a season, get you to the 3rd round every season kind of tender yet. Solution: Fire Rodrigue, and his sub-par protege son Olivier, get on the phone, and beg someone like Michael Dunham from Boston or Rob Tallas from FLA to come back home to his hometown of Edmonton and pay them extra to coach the shit out of the farm.
The 4-3 go ahead goal was awful
Campbell had a bad night, but the team in front of him did too. They just could not seem to clear their zone for extended periods of time. If you let the other team spend shift after shift in your end of the ice with bodies parked in front of your net, things aren't going to go well.
How about the coaching staff teaching the players how to drill the puck off the glass or off the boards and down the ice when they are stuck in the zone rather then shooting it like its an egg just to avoid icing. I can't believe how bad the Oilers are in their own end. We need Ekholm to teach our other defensemen some basic hockey skills. I agree Campbell has to be better but some of the shots he let in last night were unstoppable.
He's in likely we lose. Run with the winning horse. Skinner all the way now.

I always think that unless Oilers get a solid netminder they will never win a cup with respect to McDavid and Leon.
Why did you explain the indigenous night!! Since you were in Calgary
Jack is horrible as a goalie! As a rich goalie he is great . Stopping pucks is brutal! Find a Jr B goalie to give it a try?
Shoulda offered Arizona Jack Campbell and next years first for Vemelka.. that guy is a warrior on a shit team..
I'm still hoping he goes hot for the playoffs when we really need it.
NOTHING warms my heart MORE than too see the Oiler's DIVE….. The CURSE lives on!! BOO Sam Katz and the Oiler's. yay to NEVER winning a Stanley Cup or a Conference Title while Sam Katz is the OWNER.
saving 85% of shots may be among worst in the league, but he is a great guy. I think the fans & owner are happy to set him up for a good life $25mil, but is a shame that he will take the spot from another player like a defenseman that we may need.
Everyone (myself included) criticized the Koskinen signing, but I didn't realize when we signed Campbell he only had just over 100 career games over 7 or so years!!! That's a worse signing than Koskinen was. To be honest at this stage, I would send him down (if possible with cap stuff etc) and let him try and find his game in Bakersfield and let Pickard come up and play back to backs only.
Nobody needs to hear about your personal plans.nm news about the oilers
Campbell needs to change his profession to something that being on his knees the whole time works better.. ❤
U can't trade cambell for a wet paper bag now !. Brutal sighning
GOOD THING CAMPBELL DIDNT PLAY VS LEAFS 11-1 leafs..
Now you see why Toronto let him walk…
