Skinner sucks but I don't think he is actually much worse than he's ever been
the big problem is everything else and everyone else sucks right now too !

Accountability is only a thing for some players on this team. Others are immune.
And for that reason Jeff Skinner will be benched for the next game.

I paused on that one too. Your starting goalie for your Edmonton Oilers does a FACEPLANT for real.. Sabres bench all laughing at this tool. Same guy that had trouble getting up off the ice after f***ing around with the puck in 2nd period not finding it. Looked like a Grandma getting up. What an athlete this guy.

Trade Bouch for goaltending this summer. Solves both problems

Where's the timeout coach? With the bad line combos he's passing me off.

Frustrating--always something to prove.
--Podz stapled to Drai while a 1st year pro having a great season gets reassigned to Bako after a few games.
--Nuge a fixture--can't bench him to at least send team a message.
--Stu--every shot an adventure. Like watching Blippi.

The big problem is he's somehow STILL our #1. Also Oilers didn't need to make a big splash goalie signing they didn't even try no attempt, said they weren't looking. What would be wrong with even getting another goalie in the org. You know for breaking glass situations like this.

Who wants to text Gregor and ask for his opinion lmao?
Why would he be gone? Like none of the goals were his fault- he scores a goal- idiots here want to trade him

Embarrassing loss to an embarrassing team. Its disgusting how much effort was put on that last powerplay and the last minute of the game.
Skinner was god awful. I'm glad Stauffer even got pissed off after that gross first goal

I’m sure he’ll manically rant about how it was fine tomorrow.

Another game I come away thinking Jeff Skinner should have been elevated. He was stripping pucks, making plays and was clearly feeling it. Yet it is Janmark that gets a late promotion?
Please go see Mike Kelly’s tweet. Good luck finding anyone remotely close to what Bouchard over the next 10 years

Agreed. Any random would give the team a bit of a boost. It's like last playoffs, Pickard played well, but it was more that he was just not Skinner that I think let them come back in that series
Nuge getting more minutes with McDavid while mustering up a single goal as production in the last 15 games is just pathetic. Get him tf off the PP and McDavid's line.
No f***ing shooting mentality ever from him.
No f***ing shooting mentality ever from him.
His skills are tantalizing but the defensive game has regressed to such a high level that he's become unwatchable, these low effort plays and ten bell mistakes have been happening at least 2-3 times a game seemingly every game. All that progression he made late last season has all but evaporated. He's still pretty young but I just don't know about him anymore, it's hard to watch.
This is where the advanced stats fail, they don't account for how egregious mistakes are and the critical moments when they occur.

Another sequence where he didn't know where puck was (how many times does this happen to him?) and he kicks puck out with his skate, Oilers D has to avert disaster adn shelter puck. Whistle finally blows and Skinner tries to get up and he can't. Then official asking him where the banana peels were. This guy can barely get up off the ice in some situations.
Should have been moved up when Podkolzin (hopefully) ended his time as an Oiler.
Love to see all the people who flipped to defend Stan and Stu at the deadline flip right back to the side of reason. LOL. Get lost.
So, we lost to the worst team in hockey, wasted our time at the deadline looking for anything but a f***ing goalie, and our only options in net are two guys who will probably be out of the league next season...or our two (official) minor league goalies who even suck in the AHL.
Oh, and Ekholm might never get back to the form he was at when he saved our defense the first time.
And Knoblauch still thinks he's the smartest guy in the room...
Can I put money on Jeff Skinner getting scratched for this?
