[Heavy Dee]

The logic they are using is that Skinner plays well after a rest, completely f***ing ignoring he had week off before this series started. Unbelievable.

 

[MoontoScott]

Sigh

Well if this summary is true then lets hope Henrique fires a hat trick because we might need one.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Hopefully they boys play in front of Skinner like they did in front of Pickard in game 4. Ie.treat him like a rookie playing his first playoffs game and focus extra on defense.


Just one bad collapse thanks to thr goalie in oe game and just the last game. We have been good otherwise..
Last game was no very Oilers like..no excuses but that was hopefully a one off game.

They did play like that and Skinner still let in goals.

 

[BlackDogg]

Skinner put Skinner in tonight.

 

[GMofOilers]

I guess its confirmed ugh

 

[Kerberos]

Skinner is a joke. Waving the white flag starting the sieve masquerading as a goaltender.

Pickard is the only player who actually looked like they wanted to win game 5 and this is the decision you make? Incredible.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

If Skinner was some star starting goalie who is having a bad playoffs I would understand but he’s not. He’s at best barely better than Pickard. I don’t understand this move at all.

 

[Stealth1616]

Man this seems like a poor idea when it’s clear Skinner struggles with pressure.

Solution? Put him in the most high pressure situation and expect some miracle ?

I have a feeling that this is some more of Ken Holland's "my buddy stuff" but perhaps there is some other logic here that mere mortals can't understand.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

What an absolute waste of a first round on Henrique.

 

[frag2]

I'm 100% on the Pickard train but you have to play Skinner tonight, he is your starter. If he blows it and costs us the game hes forever a backup going forward (in theory). This is managements fault from the start

Someone tell Vegas how that turned out for them when they went from Thompson to Brossoit to Hill

Idgaf he’s our “starter”. He sucked and still sucks in the playoffs. Guy can’t handle pressure and is as agile as my car driving with the parking brake on

 

[NeverForget06]

Pickard was the only reason last game was close and we start Skinner.

So disappointing- Skinner has not proven to be anything but fragile and a failure in the
playoffs

 

[Dynamic]

Ballsy move to go with Skinner, like it or not. In knob we trust? I dint know anymore whatever happens happens!

 

[Duke74]

I guess its confirmed ugh

Ugh, why? This makes no sense. I hope Knob explains his reasoning.

 

[Mez]

Yep, TDL rentals are always a gamble, especially when they are in their mid 30's...

 

[frag2]

Ugh, why? This makes no sense. I hope Knob explains his reasoning.

It makes as much sense as keeping Ceci in the roster

I guess we’re back to how many shots till we see Skinner let in the first one…I say 3

 

[McIce Whole]

Starting Skinner truly feels like waving the white flag on our season. Mentally fragile goalie when our season is on the line, yikes.

 

[GMofOilers]

I say shot 2

 

[frag2]

To think that the McDrai era rests on a goalie that’s gone .793 this series…

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

REDEMPTION IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD

 

[McDrailers]

It’s May right? I’m trying to figure out why our head coach is making unfunny April Fools Day pranks.

Game 6 against Vegas. 20 seconds into the game Skinner plays the puck up the boards from behind his net. It’s picked off, passed in front and seconds later is in the back of the net. It’ll take some doing for the first one to be quicker than that but with this guys 5 cent head anything is possible.

Guy thinks he’s better than he really is. Goes to play the puck, then have no f***ing clue what to do.

God this team is stupid
