Kris is all Knob and no Balls if he starts Skinner in the 2nd.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

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

The Oilers aren’t testing him.

 

[LTIR]

Time to see if Knob is a better coach than Tocchet

 

[Drivesaitl]

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

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.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Team scoring next wins.

 

[DrDrai]

I’d say this period will tell us if the team is going to roll over and die or fight.

 

[rec28]

They scored first then went to sleep for half a period.

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.

 

[iCanada]

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.

View attachment 869568

But it's not like they're dominating us either.

That was an even period and we got eviscerated on every half chance.

 

[DaGap]

Oilers could try shooting the puck

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Nurse flubs the first pass to begin the period.

*chef's piss*

 

[McDrailers]

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

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.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Campbell 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.

 

[North Cole]

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.

Half our team doesn't belong.

Ryan is old and his claim to fame is faceoffs?
Brown is a black hole of suck
Nurse is brain dead at the best of times
Ceci is Desharnais but smaller
Foegele is absolutely garbage with the puck and can basically only forecheck.
Perry is old and slow
McLeod and fast and does...nothing.

Like the majority of the team is just there. We have at least 7 players who's best attributes are existing, and who's worst attributes actively lose us games.

Mcdrai isn't going to save us this series. They need to be split up.

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.

You don’t tend to win hockey games when you go to sleep for long stretches of time.

 

[Gnome17]

Unreal Skinners still in net. Reeks of a young softspoken rookie coach thats too afraid.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

We aren’t coming back anyway.

not with Skinner in net

 

[BlackDogg]

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

He's only 3 out of 4 reasons

 

[Broberg Speed]

Campbell 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.

Campbell is the best goaltender in the organization

 

[Drivesaitl]

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

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.

Did Skinner make any big stops? No.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Must be nice to get a save

 

[Oilhawks]

Sportsnet- "Can canadian fans join Canucks bandwagon"

Sportsnet is putrid shit

"Cheer for the team that has the least Canadians on the roster, they're truly Canada's team"

 

[Vagabond]

Looks like we need 10 to win with Skins in net and if you pro-rate the GA.

 

[Drivesaitl]

We aren’t coming back anyway.

Don't need posts like this here.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Oil had two posts this period. Have to tilt the ice to pressure their suspect goaltending. Oil have to asset their game of high offensive zone time and push more shots on net. Lots of time. But less than zero room for mistakes. Have to be hard on Canuck forwards and get their asses out to block shots and be physically hard in the home plate own zone.

Skinner is a fine regular season backup goalie. That's his ceiling.
