Post-Game Talk: Dallas Does Skinner

[CantHaveTkachev]

Do you carry a plant around so you can replace the oxygen you're stealing from people?

No one can be this stupid, you have to be trolling.

oh you're back, you were pretty quiet for Games 4 and 5 against Vegas...

 

[CycloneSweep]

Dallas pretty much played their worst game but showed up for all of 5 minutes. We played our best game outside those final 5 minutes. That’s going to be a problem.

 

[Drivesaitl]

he was still giving up 3 goals/game

5.65 but CantHaveFacts

Skinner gave up 11 goals in first two games. Worked out to be more than 5.5 because Skinner was pulled for extra man some of the minutes.

0.61 expected goals against on the PK
3 goals against

Everybody's else fault but 74.
Stu himself said he misread the 2nd goal and didn’t compete enough on Duchene's goal.
But once again, its not his fault for being a factor in the loss.

 

[MikeS24]

I really believe all of Skinner's problems (well, okay, most) stem from a complete inability to track the puck. He can't plan ahead like you're outlining because he's either in complete panic because he doesn't know where the puck is or he's frozen in place because he doesn't know where the puck is.

Don;t tell Joaquin Gage that. According to him, Stu has "elite puck tracking skills"

He is definitely trolling. He tried being a serious poster for a couple weeks near the end of the season and made a lot of good points, but got bored and went back to this schtick. I think he just likes taking the weaker argument in a discussion and seeing how many people he can get to buy in. Like I said, @CantHaveTkachev you turned heel again too soon!

ya he was awful...what your point?
"saviour" Pickard let in 4 in a "must win" Game 3, but the Oilers scored 7

 

[Missing smitty]

No I wasn't, I literally said Skinner played great and hopefully it turned a page for him.

It clearly didn't and you're still a moron, but don't let being wrong stop you from still being an idiot.

You got thread banned from a game where Pickard won because you're too stupid to recognize what you were doing. Seriously, you're either a troll or Skinner's dad...

 

[CycloneSweep]

I am not worried guys. Oilers were up by 2 at one point and looking good it was the penalties and the poor pk that sunk us. If the Oilers clean that up we'll be back on track.

Dallas didn’t show up for 40 though. They showed up for 5 minutes and we couldn’t handle it.
That’s a scary thought.

I'm starting to think 74 is the IQ score.

Whoops, I can't say that.

 

[MikeS24]

scapegoating. lolol

This is basic failure in deduction and recognizing indelible patterns.

Lets also say the Oilers are a playoff wagon. 6-0 anytime Skinner is not in net.

2-4, with 4 games being sub 0.820

THat's not that bad. He had 2 shutouts for crying out loud.

Is it better than 6-0?

pretty sad you have to resort to insults bud

I wish you well

How do we clean up having Skinner in net. Asking for a friend.

 

[bucks_oil]

Yes. Any more questions or is it now pointless to argue with you since you won’t acknowledge eye test or factual evidence.

Skinner sucked on two important goals tonight. You don’t need stats for that. And even if he saved another 40 perimeter shots it wouldn’t compensate for his errors (even if the stats said it should).

But xGA or GSAA are horribly flawed. It can’t tell you anything about an east west pass to a one timer or to a tap in, or even a breakaway… it’s literally a static measure based on type of shot and location. You could put Ovie in the high slot with a bucket of pucks and have him snipe from a static “high danger” location and an average level EBUG will stop 8or9/10.

It’s the movement and the getting there that matter.

GSAA Ihas zero to do with real-life goaltending because it doesn’t have the capacity to consider the things that make goaltending hard (or easy).

Never seen a goalie coach or goalie argue its merit because it’s so fundamentally flawed it’s comical.

 

[MikeS24]

Skinner refuses to fight through screens.

Which is why he gets beat clean on shots from distance more than any other goalie in the league.

If Skinner has to be our guy…….the oilers entire gameplan needs to be to focused on stopping the stars from playing east west hockey. It’s Skinners kryptonite.

And stop taking f***ing penalties.

Yup

His #'s for medium and low danger shots are worse than his high danger save % lol

It's pretty comical.

On screens, this guy is like that 7th city worker standing around the pot hole pretending like he is doing something.

Whoops, I can't say that.

It clearly fits the IQ score of his defensive brigade.

Ah yeah, like the flyby you made in my thread. Hypocrite

 

[Drivesaitl]

Thankfully they won't know what this means.

Oh look strawberries!

 

[rboomercat90]

This is the 2nd series and team we've faced where the opponent bench are all laughing at how completely awful Stewed Skinner is. Last time we had Pickard come in and save the first round.

Worst fears confirmed that Stew Skinner great slumpbuster that he is gets a Dallas offense going that had nothing going. He even kickstarted his PP.

Duchene: "I didn't think I'd ever score an NHL goal again, thanks Skinner" That duchene goal should cause a goalie to NEVER see the ice again. Problem is theres been 50 other goals like that which should've ended Skinners career. But here we are.

What does the team do? They caved Dallas first two periods but they have a landmine in goal.

This game was pretty much a reversal of what we saw in game 1 of the Vegas series. We both thought it would be difficult for Vegas to recover from losing that game. Not sure I’m ready to write the Oilers off after one game but the doubts have to be there now and as you’ve pointed out there is no Pickard to save them this time. I don’t think the Oilers have the balls to throw Rodrigues in there, they didn’t even bother to pull Skinner tonight. So, that means they’re stuck with Stu and the knowledge that any puck headed towards their net could go in at any time if it doesn’t hit him. Here’s to hoping they can put 1 more Skinner debacle behind them. I just don’t know where the spark of hope comes from this time without Pickard being available.

 

[McAsuno]

Well one of them also doesn't know the difference between you're and your.

I typically use the bible. I find praying helps.

..and I am not religious, not even a little bit.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Well, maybe compared to a guy who played 23 NHL games and had an .870 career save percentage in what was mostly the Dead Puck Era...

He sucks in every statistical measure across the board. The stats have been acknowledged by many goalie coaches- so not sure where you are getting that from. But aside that, you can say that xGA or GSAA is flawed- and it may be- but it would be flawed for all goalies across the NHL equally. If the measure is equally applied, which it is, Skinner’s numbers would put him at the bottom of the league.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

ngl, that was right on par with a lot of regular season games we played at the end of the year:

- Win the Deserve-to-Win-O'meter
- Win the fancy stats
- Outshoot the other team
- Draisaitl goal
- Get blown out
