The Oilers aren’t testing him.Probably, but good goalies make those saves for their teams more often than not. Silovs isn't a good goalie .
He's the reason we lost game 1. No other. He's the reason Nucks are in this series. We should be 2 games up with any kind of goaltending whatsoever.Let's complain about something other than Skinner. He's not the only reason we are down.
I genuinely hate it when the Oilers score first. It’s like they take that as a sign that the universe is unfolding as it should so they no longer need to work their asses off. I feel much more comfortable when their opponent scores first. This first period has been a clown show, though.They scored first then went to sleep for half a period.
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.

Skinner is a fine regular season goalie. His play drops in the postseason. It’s not really even his fault. He wasn’t supposed to be THE guy. Unfortunate for all of us our pro scouting team decided a guy who sucks for 95 percent of his career just magically wasn’t going to suck for 5 years.Every goalie. Team could lose 1-0 and the goal be a crazy deflection and all the blame would be on the goalie by some here.
Hopefully they put in Pickard and he stands on his head and then start him the rest of the way. He can be our Roloson
Half our team doesn't belong.Yet Desharnais every game is making the worst passes of any D. A good pass by Vinny is one that gets out and sails down the ice for icing. About the best you can hope for from him. Vinny and Skinner don't belong on a contender club. Turn it into pretenders. Just awful players.

not with Skinner in netWe aren’t coming back anyway.
He's only 3 out of 4 reasonsLet's complain about something other than Skinner. He's not the only reason we are down.
Campbell is the best goaltender in the organizationCampbell or Pickard wouldn't be worse than a 88.17% goalie. You could basically throw darts and pick up any NHL goalie and they would put up better numbers than that.
Obviously we shouldn't be leaving Boeser alone in the slot. I get it. But other teams actually get a great save once in awhile. You know, like even Silovs is making. We're the Oilers bad in that period? Sure.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

Don't need posts like this here.We aren’t coming back anyway.
