Post-Game Talk: Can we leave Stu in a California Closet?

Skinner had a really great rookie season and before that when working with Mike Smith as one of the partners.
After that he became regular in the team and started to work with Dustin Schwarz and from that on it's been nothing but downhill....

Do we have any goali that has become better when working with this turd, Dustin Schwarz since he was hired?

Laurent Brossoit
Ben Scrivens
Viktor Fasth
Mikko Koskinen
Mike Smith
Anders Nilsson
Cam Talbot
Jonas Gustavsson
Al Montoya
Anthony Stolarz
Stuart Skinner
Jack Campbell
Calvin Pickard

Everybody has regressed, except from maybe Pickard.....
 
It would not surprise me if we never see Stuart Skinner play another game in an Oilers jersey. Neither he nor the team will recover from these first 2 games.

The team seems broken this season. It’s been hellish and frustrating watching how inconsistent they have been as well as all of the injuries. I’d be shocked if we even win a single game in this series (part of me wishes that we just rip off the bandaid and get swept which hopefully leads to big changes in the offseason)
 
🤣 I forgot about that, what a donkey.

Well, if you’re near the suites you can scream at Mutt & Jeff so it’s not all bad.

I hope Katz saw that, like the time Roenick wore a paper bag and embarrassed him into firing Chiarelli.

It’s honestly easier giving up Oilers hockey than I thought it would. For starters, I hate the NHL now with its corrupt, biased reffing so I maybe watched a total of 5-8 games this season, including the ones where I’d just watch bits and pieces. I didn’t watch much of game 1, didn’t watch any of game 2 because when I saw Skinner was starting, I already knew it was going to be a 5+ against night.

If there aren't major changes after they get swept this offseason, including Jackson getting fired, Schwartz fired, Bowman should be fired but he’ll just be given both roles, Knoblauch fired and Skinner, RNH, Bouchard all traded, it’ll be easy to lower that from 5-8 games to 0.

I’d also say right now with the current state of the team, the chances of McDavid extending are less than 40% right now. He wants a cup. He wants one bad and that’s not happening with the current structure of the org and roster.
Yeah I didn’t watch tonight either other than scoreboard watching.

Was a good feeling doing that.

I didn’t watch as few as you. But in years past I would watch close to 70-80 games a year

I bet this year I was around 30. That’s a massive drop.

I’m just not confident any of these guys get fired. Mostly because they just got hired….

They should be but does Katz have the stones? He’s a weird dude to gauge.

I ain’t even mad after tonight. 5 years ago I probably would have had trouble sleeping

Personally I’ve switched more to enjoying the NFL.

I never bet against mcdrai. But this just isn’t the year I don’t think.
 
Thats the last game we're losing in round 1. I know it sounds delusional, but we all know they were limping into the playoffs, with zero momentum and more than a handful of players missing the last 4-6 weeks

The Kings are the best home team in the league, but the worst one on the road of all playoff teams. They have never gone up 2 games on us, it takes experience and maturity to close that deal, as it is infinitely harder to win the latter 2 games. And this Oilers team has experience in coming back in a series as they did 3 of 4 rounds last year.

It will be a completely different script on Friday. Do NOT lose faith comrades. This start was expected, but now the ball comes home court, and the momentum will shift dramatically. Also noticed the Kings are streaky. When they win/lose, it in bunches

Remember, like round 4 last year, it takes 4 wins to clinch a series, not 2. This is FAR from over, and i wholeheartedly believe that was the last game we're losing in round 1. But the key? Pickard. Skinner is now the backup. He's money in games 4-7, so maybe reserve him for the latter half of the series. Friday cant get here soon enough
 
Stu Skinner, I have to mention this, got pulled Immediately after smiling and chucking during a break as the Kings fans were razzing him for a routine stop. The guy is actually laughing. He's been torched for 11goals in 100mins of play and he's laughing it up. I'm pretty sure the OIlers bench was f***ing livid. It was a bench pull and I'm sure the club were talking about it.

The same idiot Stu Skinner was bopping his head to "clap your hands" at 2-0. He was the only Oiler having a good time while this was going.

Get rid of this f***ing loser. Bring up Rodrigue. Skinner can't f***ing read a room to save his life. Its a wonder he's lasted this long with this org. He shouldn't be seen again here.

its one thing to be horrible in net, but to have disposition and laughing in a 5-2 game What a f***ing loser.
I hope you're f***ing joking? If he found that shit funny he needs to stay in LA and catch his own f***ing flight back to Edmonton and never lace up his skates for the Oilers again.

Doesnt matter who is in net. This team is getting pummeled in every aspect of the game in this series so far.
Every single aspect of their game is shit.
This I think we can all agree with.

If we had a top goalie tonight, we probably still let in 3 at minimum

You guys keep talking about making it to Game 7 like it's the same as winning the Stanley Cup. It's not. We lost. And we lost because of a weak shot that Stuart Skinner should have stopped and didn't because he wasn't, isn't, and will never be: good enough.

It's that same mentality that gave this management group and this idiot coach the false confidence to ruin this f***ing roster.

No intelligent person, period, watched last year's Stanley Cup playoffs and believed Stuart Skinner was anything but a massive risk game in and game out. He had one great series and three rounds of Russian Roulette. And he lost us a series almost on his own the year before.

Yes, the defense was laughable, the powerplay was anemic, the coach is totally inept and should've been fired in March, despite the overwhelming majority of this board still sniffing his Game 7 fart fumes until very recently, but what's the one constant in each of these last three postseasons? Stuart Skinner being a SIEVE.
I’m not defending skinner I hope he never plays another game in an oilers uniform again.
we need changes starting with the goaltender and the goalie coach
A goalie who the team trusts to make a save will completely change the way a team plays in front of him
 
Go on oilers reddit and talk about Skinner and you'll be completely downvoted. At least we csn see reality on here.
It's f***ing wild to me. Talking to everyone at the golf course today about the game and I was saying how Skinner better not be useless again and I got pushback from everyone, defending Stu. f***ing crazy to me.

Can tell the people who just listen to the media in this town, who constantly glaze that slug in net and never call him out. They have the average fan fooled into thinking this guy can play. Like, have they not seen this guy just attempt to move in net? It's an embarrassment.

It's truly crazy, but that subreddit is full of weird casual fans which I suppose explains some of that.

Reddit is a terrible place for hockey discussion. Filled with idiots that spam stupid puns and 'inside' jokes constantly. Derrr f*** messier am I right.
