– Edmonton sports talk – very critical, too old, lots of criticisms that weren’t said after 4 games. 

– Oilers injuries – Hyman, Ekholm, too much

– Oilers SV% in playoffs – .888  – Pickard .886 / Skinner .889  7 wins each – who is the starter? 

– Reg season  Pickard .900 / Skinner .896 – they got exact same goaltending in playoffs.  Why expect something different? 

– Florida – .914 – Bob played every minute.

Among goalies that played 5 games or more in playoffs, Skinner was 10th of 17, Pickard 13th.  

– Seravalli reporting that league investigating Kane on LTIR – of course they are.
