Post-Game Talk: Gonna Stu on this loss for a while

[McFlyingV]

Get this fraud off my team. Absolute trash can goalie.

 

[Drivesaitl]

The thing about Skinner is that it is crystal clear when he's having a howler night. And yet every coach waits until the 4th or 5th goal to pull him.

Knoblauch pulls him after the 3rd goal Game 1 Oilers would win. Knoblauch pulls him after the first period tonight Oilers win.

This is what I thought too. The one credit I'll give Woody is he pulled shitshow Skinner after one period in the LA game last playoffs and it gave the team two periods to get it back, they still needed OT. Its a lot to ask to play this fool two periods and have the team have to score 3 straight goals to get a result.

 

[DrDrai]

My concern right now is Mcdavid. I hope he's alright from that BS at the end. Someone from the team needs to give Zadorov a message next game if the league won't.

That will just end up being a 5min major against us anyways.

Beat them on the score sheet.

Yep the coach needs to realize when a goalie is not feeling it and yank them

Sit some guys and bring in some fresh blood. Lavoie, Gagner and Erne in. Ceci out, Stetcher or even Broberg in. Skinner out, Pickard and Campbell are your 2 goalies next game.

Lavoie in for Foegele.

When 3/4 of the roster can’t piss a drop you’re going to have problems. You’ve seen this exact scenario play out year after year.

The Oilers have scored enough to be up 3-0 in this series. I don’t care if it’s all McDavid and Draisaitl or not. You can’t ask a team to score 4 or 5 every single night in order to get a win.

A .888sv% would have gotten the Oilers a win tonight for gods sake.

Its literally not even average goaltending this team needs.

My brother in Christ, it's over. Skinner is done and possibly single handedly cost the team another series. It was him all along.

Series is far from over. We finish on half the 4 posts and it’s tied. We don’t leave Nucks wide open in the slot 3 times and we tie it. If reffing was fair who knows how this game turns out.

That said Skinner needed to be better. But there’s more to this game story than just that.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Ya thats it. Just quit right now why dont they. Erne wasnt wven a difference maker in Bako. Gagner cant stand up....smh

Erne can at least play physical unlike Foegele who cost us a GA tonight and has been shit the entire playoffs. Lavoie gives us a one shot scorer and some added size to lean on their D and Gagner will play with heart and may chip in a little much needed depth offense.

 

[Zerotonine]

As frustrating as this is there isn't any reason to panic. Wev have been the better team easily 2 of the 3 games. Sub par goaltending and we are up 3-0

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

I’ve already started suppressing parts of this game from my memory.

One post at a time.

 

[oilers4life5]

That better be a f***ing suspension. Also hate that nobody stood up for him.

 

[booyakasha]

This is hollands team, the forwards that can’t score, the defense that can’t defend, the goalies that can’t get it done.

mcdavids legacy in Edmonton.

 

[scotchtapejr]

Why protect him when he didn't protect you

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Series isn't over but if we lose game 4 it probably is.

Please play Pickard until he has a stinker

 

[FlameChampion]

His response would just make people more mad lol

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Defense will have lapses. It’s inevitable
But it’s up to the goalie to prevent some of those from being GA. Skinner can’t stop anything

Yeah sometimes your players just throw up pizzas to opposing players as your second pairing gets caught napping while the most dangerous player on the ice tonight gets behind them.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Don't make Skinner available for the media and don't start him next game.

 

[scotchtapejr]

Go into the locker room and drag Skinner out to Jasper Ave and make him answer

 

[dustrock]

Henrique being hurt is a bigger deal than people realize I think. Utility player who can play 1-4, PP2, PK, faceoffs.

But yeah, remember when the Athletic gave the Oilers 75% chance of winning and much of that was because of the Oilers better depth than Vancouver?

Jesus wept, why not just blindfold me and set me on fire at this point.

3 games of 3 entire lines doing jack shit.

 

[CupofOil]

Get this fraud off my team. Absolute trash can goalie.

Pathetic that he's not facing the music, again, and/or that the team won't allow him to. I was a fan of him not too long ago and was defending him left, right and center and now I feel like a fraud.

You can’t win the Cup or even a series with one line, period. It didn’t work that way especially when said line had an off game like they did today.

 

[Spawn]

You’re right, Skinner is literally the only problem with the Oilers.

Every single loss in these playoffs is squarely on Skinners shoulders.

 

[Stoneman89]

Goaltending aside, the Oiler mistakes tend to be incredibly bad timing as well. Foegele gives the puck away, but of course, it's not to Blueger or Lafferty etc, but the Canucks best scorer and hottest player against us.

Did Carrick fall out of favor or is he injured? Seems like he could add some bite to the lineup in this type of series.
