They never will but I think they have to go with Pickard.

His fundamentals and technical movements are actually more sound.

 

[Drivesaitl]

I'm aware. Lol.

I've been saying this for over a year now that I think he's got atrocious fundamentals, been harangued as some hater that just wants to sewer the local boys career.

Yep. Confirmed.

he's just awful fundamentals, no skills, poor skater, slow, terrible moving across. Terrible playing puck, list is so long.

 

[frag2]

It’s crazy how badly Vancouver can shut down our offense. No other team could really do that this year. This is looking like a sweep series unless if we can start to generate more

Part of it is the refs letting obstruction happen

The other part is our players just allergic to shooting

 

[Heavy Dee]

Hilarious how Knoblol has neutered Holloway after his two goal game.

 

[North Cole]

They never will but I think they have to go with Pickard.

Yeah it's kind of funny. Tochett gets praised for playing a 3rd stringer.

Montgomery gets praises for rotating goalies.

Our coaches have zero balls. See the iceberg coming and increase speed.

The table is set for a Campbell redemption arc. I mean skinner has brought this on.

They sent Campbell down at a time he was outperforming Skinner.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Lol on TNT Lundquist is just ripping Skinner's fundamentals, says they're some of the weakest he's seen at the NHL level.

I wonder if any posters here have been saying that for a long time and been flamed for it...

*raises hand

 

[Stoneman89]

I'm way biased about Fred Skinner. What do I know?

Said the guy that is convinced that Dubois is a game breaker.

 

[tardigrade81]

Here we go ugh

 

[TheNumber4]

Canucks are all over them with the forecheck and system. I'm not sure at this point that there is anything they can do about it.

They can make plays around that. Our D core has been doing that all year and getting the puck moving. We’re just not playing with our usual confidence and intensity right now. Something needs to change in our mindset imo.

 

[foshizzle]

Yep. Confirmed.

he's just awful fundamentals, no skills, poor skater, slow, terrible moving across. Terrible playing puck, list is so long.

That’s a trademark of goalies under Schwartz.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Yeah, that's tough too, but if they arent caught puck watching maybe they get a stick on it before it ever has the chance to test him y'know. Theyve been a complete disaster in their own end this game and the last, and the last, and the last...

Maybe if we never allow a shot Fred Skinner will be good.

 

[Balakay14]

I'm done with Skinner, guy just isn't it for the playoffs. Seems to be a pretty decent regular season goalie but implodes in the playoffs. Sample size is too big to handwave it all away, and loves to give up brutal goals. He's going to be what, career .875 save percentage after this game in the playoffs?

 

[tiger_80]

Hope we can score 5 or 6 goals then.

There is a certain feeling of futility in today's game. It feels like they will allow another goal after scoring. That's 100% on Skinner's shitty play in the last two games.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Skinner in the postgame:

"I was feeling really good when I was doing up my skates, im almost sure that Zadorov goal was cause the post moved out of the way, I thought I did good."

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Skinner is a player most people will completely forget ever played couple years after he retires.

 

[FlameChampion]

Yeah it's kind of funny. Tochett gets praised for playing a 3rd stringer.

Montgomery gets praises for rotating goalies.

Our coaches have zero balls. See the iceberg coming and increase speed.

Its always the same regardless of who the coach is

 

[Zguy370]

To make matters worse, Skinner is getting out goalied by an AHL goalie

Thing is , on most teams Skinner would be in their ECHL affiliate

 

[McClelland]

Nucks tactic, throw muffins from everywhere on Stu.

Our worst nightmares before this serie came true.

But need to get those skates going!

 

[RattsSSV]

Ping

 

[TheNumber4]

Said the guy that is convinced that Dubois is a game breaker.

Lol he may be the only PLD fan left in the hockey world.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Oilers will need 7 to win tonight.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I’ll save you the trouble. The Oilers will butt fumble the period and not score because of overpassing and a complete lack of depth.

or Skinner lets in another softy

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

97 hit the post..see shoot the puck boys
