[Mr Positive]

2 of those goals were due to horrendous giveaways/defensive breakdowns.

You need your goalie to bail you out sometimes and make a save.

Both are true here

Basically if he was a good goalie it would be 2-1, a great goalie if it were tied, and Hasek if we were winning

 

[DaGap]

Dude Keep Riding 29

Heres last games bet

 

[MessierThanThou]

Come on man, Stu got us here? Nope, Mcdavid Drai Hyman Bouch Ekholm and the list goes on. Stu mostly benefited from good D and perimeter shots. Stu did not get them here, you say that about a goalie that stands on his head night in and night out, not Stuart Skinner.

Your logical response is wasted on that person.

 

[Yablo21]

So a tip and 2 wide open chances, Skinner has been poor but that period is not on him

Let's complain about something other than Skinner. He's not the only reason we are down.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Sportsnet- "Can canadian fans join Canucks bandwagon"

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

You grabbed the concept like Canucks grab sticks lol.

Skinner wouldn't have grabbed it at all. Would have went right past him.

 

[belair]

This kind of puck management isn't gonna fly. McDavid will bounce back from a missed assignment many times over. Foegele will be lucky to make up for that gaffe at any point during this series the way things have gone.

 

[scotchtapejr]

Thanks for the .727 save percentage performance, Stuart.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

when Skinner lets in the next one, put Pickard in for mop up duty

 

[foshizzle]

Basically if he was a good goalie it would be 2-1, a great goalie if it were tied, and Hasek if we were winning

This is a good assessment.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Silovs in net is basically gift wrapping the best chance possible to beat this Canucks team... he's nothing special but this Oilers team is finding ways to lose games despite what should be a clear advantage.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

when Skinner lets in the next one, put Pickard in for mop up duty

We aren’t coming back anyway.

 

[McFlyingV]

If McDavid had the chances Boeser did the game would be tied.

Probably, but good goalies make those saves for their teams more often than not. Silovs isn't a good goalie .

 

[TheNumber4]

And your reply is how homerism works.

Realizing what is and isn’t a defensive break down isn’t homerism.

 

[CupofOil]

The Oilers have to clean things up with their puck management.
Play smarter hockey.

And get some big saves

 

[McTedi]

I think all of goals scored on Skinner were on good chances. But he needs to stop at least one of those. Nucks scored on almost all of their grade A chances

 

[RandomGuy79]

Let's complain about something other than Skinner. He's not the only reason we are down.

It's frustrating isn't it? No one thinks Skinner is doing good, but for f*** sakes it's not like we are dominating out there.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Oilers left Boeser alone with the goalie on one and Foegele, who shouldn’t even be on this team, gave them a lay up on another. Skinner always gets better as the game goes on.

the second Foegele thinks he has skill he is a detriment to the team

I've said it a hundred times if he passes the puck near either blue line he needs to be sat

and that's the honest truth

If he isn't gaining center ice then dumping and chasing, it doesn't matter what line he's on, the player shouldn't be playing at all

Foegele never learns and neither does the coaching staff... that was strike 200

 

[Echodek]

It would be nice to have a goalie that you have confidence in making a save on a shot against. I just automatically assume every shot is going in at this point.

 

[elmeroil]

Your logical response is wasted on that person.

Agreed, I just had to spit a bit if vomit out after reading Stu got us here

 

[bobbythebrain]

Sure bobby

What series are you watching bud? You realize when Drai was set up in almost the exact same spot this series he buried 2 of those also but when Drai does you jump for German joy

Simple logic....stop allowing Boeser to shoot from there, and let pluggers like Desharnais, Blueger the same shots, you likely get a save

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Sometimes goalies make high danger saves…. Oil are getting zero

Skinner is actually elite again high danger shot, well usually, that all the medium and low danger chances and the uneventful mistakes that sunk him.

On night where his best asset doesn't work, then you left with echl call up material.

 

[alphahelix]

Maybe we should go to a strat of going with Pickard in the 1st period and Skinner for the rest of the night.

Pickard is definitely more consistent. He has the odd bad game but on your average night he can usually get you over .900. That’s not great but it’s better than we’re getting. I’m still holding the line with Skinner, but he does need to start delivering better or we’ll have to look elsewhere.

 

[dssource]

Take the game to them, Oilers.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Boys have looked not 100 committed last 4 games or so. It’s the playoffs wake up
