Leon Draisaitl Breaks Silence: What He Really Thinks About the Edmonton Oilers’ Struggles Will Shock You
Goaltending was a part of the problem, but it wasn’t the sole reason why the Edmonton Oilers lost to the Panthers twice in the Stanley Cup Final. Yes, they needed their goalie to stop some pucks, but the breakdowns that led to timely goals for the Panthers did them in. It carried over into this season as well.
They are just giving up too many goals. Whether it was Stuart Skinner (now with the Pittsburgh Penguins), Calvin Pickard, Connor Ingram, or Tristan Jarry, the goaltending has been leaking goals all season. Stuart Skinner wasn’t the problem. The trade for Jarry was just a lateral move. It didn’t make the Oilers better.
