[tv14]

Solid bounce back game for Skinner after making all those waves after game 4 - he really stepped up. Will be curious to see which Skinner comes to play in game 6 in Lethbridge - this series has been a terrific one to watch, I wouldn't mind a 7th game!

On Saturday, Stuart Skinner (W 11-8) made 27 saves, as the Broncos kicked up more dust than the Hurricanes 4-3 to take a 3-2 series lead.

Canes absolutely dominated the 1st period and lead 1-0 but have a 20-2 shot advantage. Skinner playing really well and has made a few huge saves to keep Broncos in it.

Meanwhile, 2018 eligible dman Calen Addison continues his stellar play with his 7th goal of the playoffs and has drawn two penalties.

 

[Del Preston]

3-1 Broncos midway through the second. They're being outshot 22-7.

 

[MoneyGuy]

Wow, how did that happen? I go away when we're down 1-0 and check and it's 3-1 for us.

By us I mean Swift, lol.

Broncos came storming back with 3 quick goals in like 2 minutes, they could have had even more. They have to skill to score in bunches like this, thats for sure. Perfect storm of them dictating the play and the Canes sitting back.

Skinner's play in the first is a huge reason the Broncos find themselves in the lead.

 

[MoneyGuy]

Saw some highlights and it looks like the 'Canes star goalie let them down, whereas Skinner has played great. Maybe the beating he took from their fans motivated him..

 

[EDMOILERS9729]

Omg Stuart Skinner is good. Like, seriously, future Oilers star starter good.

 

[Del Preston]

5-1 win and a trip to the Ed Chynoweth Cup vs either Everett or Tri-City.

33 saves for Skinner.

All three stars were Lethbridge players.

I've noticed a lot of CHL teams name starts from their teams when their teams get eliminated. Seems kinda lame.

I doubt Skinner cares. He got what he came for.

Oh, the stars were their three overage players. That's why.

 

[oilers'72]

Teams will do that for the final game for the overagers. Even some teams will do that for the opposing team if it's their last game.

 

[oilers'72]

Tri-City took the lead at 6:30 of the second period and was up 5-2 at one point. Everett's tied in up with 5:31 left in the third.

 

[Oilers in NS]

3-1 Broncos midway through the second. They're being outshot 22-7.

How does Swift Current stack up in WHL finals?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Hart vs Skinner. Best goalies in the west face off.

Hart is touted as one of the if not the best goalie prospect no in a pro league. Let's see how Skinner measures up.

Skinner is winning the matchup so far in the playoffs. I think the Broncos have faced the harder competition so far going through Regina, Moose Jaw and Lethbridge.

Is skinner still junior eligible next year or AHL ?

He's AHL eligible but could also return to junior as an overage player.

 

[CycloneSweep]

He's AHL eligible but could also return to junior as an overage player.

I think what we do with him depends on how it ends. If he wins the WHL this season he has nothing left to prove there.

I think one of Wells or Skinner will end up starting in Wichita(ECHL) and the other ends up back for their overage year in junior. Wanna get both of them the most playing time possible, doesn't make sense to have them splitting time in the ECHL.

Skinner will be AHL if he goes pro 100% he is our best goalie prospect hands down

I agree he's he best goalie prospect but it's not out of the norm for guys to spend a year in the ECHL. The Flames did it with Tyler Parsons this year. The Condors will have Shane Starett for sure next year, and then probably one of Brossoit, Montoya or Nick Ellis.
