Or a soccer ball, difference is that soccer goalie actually made the save.@brentashton grabbed it already, but part of me thinks it would be kind of funny if half the damn board was rocking it.
I just like... the whole thing is patently absurd to me. Just totally jumped the shark absurd. You can't tell me a group of professional hockey people, that have been around hockey for their entire careers and made it to the NHL, look at this guy and think "yup, that's my guy."
Not even the Beaverton or the Onion would post such a thing.
Yet here we are, it's reality. The Goaltender behind the two best players in the game is that guy.
Like wtf.
Now we just need to Photoshop in a beach ball where the puck is...

now put the mariocart hat on him...We need it to clearly identify what goalie it is. A stool sitting there in the crease would be funny too. What he needs to sit on when he gets ohhh so tired out there.
sorry we're putting you to work like this.
Careful dude, he'll tell you to go cheer for another team for not bootlicking the management's ass.
Better than paying 2.6 for Stu, 1.75 for Klingberg, 1 for Josh Brown, and 4 for Arvidsson...

Weird, I thought saves like these were hard to make though?

Especially in this game. Booch was hammering pucks and got one of our two goals on an absolute beauty of a rocket the goalie had no chance on. Made several other plays, hit a post etc. He's without his D partner you think people could recognize its a challenge. Whole team misses Ekholm out there and its showing.

Not enough goals and not enough saves. Edmonton Oilers 2024-2025.
And that's the crappier wood too.
That quality of Goaltending costs a 4th. Yet we're sticking with Skinner.
Make it make sense.

And he's their backup.
I said it before: what team would take either of our guys as their backup?
Remember who signed Koskinen when his contract ended?

Meh, Oilers won the Cup last year because the Panthers cheated. Waste of time league.

This dumb f*** thinks our goaltending is fine!!!
Nah. You keep Bouchard and try to acquire Sorokin.
Then you don't have to worry when Bouchard causes a turnover because the team will have a proper goalie in net who will make more saves than not unlike shithead Moustache.
You know what you’ve been doing in these game day threads.
Bouch is good in the offensive zone but he is an absolute trainwreck defensively. I don't want to give up on this player but he has to be pissing his coach and teammates off.
LOL.
He's been quiet ever since he acted like a f***ing moron in the previous game.
Stuart Skinner’s last 10 starts: 33 goals against on 256 shots. That’s a WHOPPING .871 SV%.
f***ing incredible!
Isn’t he an expert at everything? You get a radio talk show and suddenly you’re the f***ing Lord Almighty.

Yup this team has problems, but the first three are all goaltending.
Don't forget about Jack and Louie trying to deflect the sieve's goaltending every f***ing game either.
"Deceptive wrister” according to our play by play commentators from Thompson's 1st goal since moustache also sucks at handling rebounds.
Absolutely comical.
