The same poster would defend Dustin Schwartz 20X in a thread saying that theres not enough info yet to determine if he's bad at all. I mean actually said that repeatedly. Except in 3 page long posts. just ignore like half the board is. Note hardly anybody responds to him.He has to be trolling, right? He's one of three guys on here right now who are vomiting post after post of word salad to deflect any blame from Skinner...
It’s pretty telling that Foegele is getting off easy around these parts.If Foegele had been in net and Skinner at forward the result wouldn’t have been much worse tonight.
That’s how bad it was from those two.
This game no skinner did not stop any breakaways. This game skinner stopped next to nothing. And world renowned playoff scrub Leon Draisaitl was stopped as expected on multiple breakaways.So last game SKinner didnt stop breakaways?
I know right. Perry and Ryan are world renowned snipers
Yeah it's a big difference with a week of Columbus Arizona jersey Ottawa teams to give fools gold. Always cracks under pressure.
Is he?It’s pretty telling that Foegele is getting off easy around these parts.
Didn’t the post stop one of those breakaways?This game no skinner did not stop any breakaways. This game skinner stopped next to nothing. And world renowned playoff scrub Leon Draisaitl was stopped as expected on multiple breakaways.
The mental gymnastics to write off silovs and his 45 shot performance and defend skinner and his half dozen saves.
Everyone’s just focused on Skinner. The bottom nine did nothing again. Enough stacking the top line. It doesn’t work.Is he?
He’s getting roasted pretty badly here.
He appears to be fine in the regular season. Not so much in the playoffs.But I thought Skinner is a bonafide #1?
Skinner playoff record in save %:Lol I wish we had .900 Goaltending.
If we had .882 we'd be up 3-0.

I mean its rich I knew who you were even talking to while I've had him ignore for the 16thtime.
Nice.How closely are you related to Skinner? Cousin? Best friend? ...stalker?
Yes silovs doesn't immediately drop on his knees he will actually do this crazy thing and cut your angles so you have little to shoot at if you get off a shot.Didn’t the post stop one of those breakaways?
More of these Skinner apologists are popping up in here! Skinner should start a cult when he retires from hockey!
Thanks for the heads up! I should know better than to engage with them. I love the Oilers but man we have a lot of embarrassing fans.
Nuge is a career passenger who's never been able to carry a line. I think we need to go back to Nuge-McD-Hyman next game.Well last time I called out skinner for his terribad playoff stats he had two decent games. Here's hoping the same thing happens again IF he gets another start.
Also I'll call out nuge for being a ghost once again in the playoffs. Maybe the same type of magic can happen with him.
Yes, I meant to say "under .900 goaltending"....Lol I wish we had .900 Goaltending.
If we had .882 we'd be up 3-0.
Skinner being the starter this season alone precludes whether the org was really serious about going all the way this season. How could they think he would be enough?Plenty of posters here were calling for Skinner to be given the reigns this year
They get what you deserve. Unfortunately to the detriment of the fans that were skeptical
The Campbell ruining everything is an excuse. This isn’t the first and won’t be the last team to overpay for a UFA “starter” that turns into a pumpkin. Skinner’s regular season success tricked the entire org into giving him the reigns and a chance at redemption. It’s 100% his fault for shitting the bed and breaking that trust.
That's all reasonable. Perhaps Stecher for Ceci. Since our PK is struggling again, the bottom six guys who couldn't come out of the lineup before due to it being great can now be scratched, as we need some energy injected into the lineup.I would start Pickard in part to wake Skinner up. He is capable of better. I would also not hesitate to start Skinner in Gm5 unless Pickard and the team play great in Gm4.
It would also hopefully shake up the rest of the team. I am going:
Brown out for Gagner
Carrick in for Ryan
Foegele to 4th line
Broberg in for Ceci
Kulak to RD with Nurse
Broberg with Vinny 3rd pair
Draisaitl and McDavid separated
Kane McDavid Hyman
Draisaitl RNH Holloway
Janmark McLeod Perry
Foegele Carrick Gagner
I actually think Pickard could be our saviour if they’re willing to start him.He appears to be fine in the regular season. Not so much in the playoffs.
Direct your annoyance at Holland.
Just look at the options he provided for this team...Campbell...Skinner and Pickard.
there’s no defending that zadorov cross check into soucy nasty cross check to mcdavid face. hope he is okay. that was really messed up. embarrassed of canucks fans supporting this.
I dont think that Pickard is really the answer but I think that Knoblauch pretty much has to try him at this point.I actually think Pickard could be our saviour if they’re willing to start him.
He’s a reflex goaltender and the Oilers style of defense works better with a reflex goalie.
