I think Stu is at least an average NHL starter but not tonight. The real issue is no commitment to defense as a 5 man unit, expecting the goalie to stand on his head when they constantly get caught up ice or blow plays.It's amazing to think how close the Oilers got without what some would qualify as an NHL goalie
Category 5.Oilers defense is a bigger disaster
Man I was really hoping we wouldn’t have to do this shit again this season. Gets so tiring seeing the >3 goals above expected. Not saying the oilers have been good though, complete shit playJets have 5 goals on 1.32 xGF
But the defense is the issue.
Gimme a break
And many floater players to add to thatThe Oilers haven’t had an odd man rush all game or a clean look at the goalie for shot
A few floaters for shots
You miss the 2 chances by Arvidsson early in the 2nd period, one where Helle was laying on his stomach out of the play, and still made the save.Weak ass shots we got on him. Nothing clean. Nothing with any movement.
I thought he had a good first period too but he has a big problem caving in or giving up (I don’t know what to call it) when he gives up that first goal. He’s a f***ing head case.Cant wait for Stuart Skinner's excuses post game about how he thought he played good.

No one is shocked. Just annoyedWhy are people so shocked over this? This is like the 3rd year in the row lmao
We have a pretty easy schedule month 1. I can still see us screwing it up thoughI hope Pickard steals the net for the first 15 games. We can't go through this sht again. When Skinner is off, he's the worst starting goalie in the league. It always takes him time to get momentum, but we can ill afford to wait for him to find his game again
Calvin Pickard
You're up comrade
It’s a feature, not a big. This leadership group has had issues showing up ready since 16-17.Why are people so shocked over this? This is like the 3rd year in the row lmao
Wrong.RNH getting outplayed by 95% of the forwards on the team tonight.
I don't think 1.46 expected goals counts as needing the goalie to stand on his head....I think Stu is at least an average NHL starter but not tonight. The real issue is no commitment to defense as a 5 man unit, expecting the goalie to stand on his head when they constantly get caught up ice or blow plays.
And yeah, mistakes happen but should we expect the goalie to bail out so many every period?
It defies logic. Ian Clark gets demoted in Vancouver, but Dustin Schwartz is coming up on a decade of making your goalies worse.Blackmail.
I mean it has to be right???

Please. Enough with that expected goals nonsense.I don't think 1.46 expected goals counts as needing the goalie to stand on his head....
Ian Clark is going to get poached. I bet by NJIt defies logic. Ian Clark gets demoted in Vancouver, but Dustin Schwartz is coming up on a decade of making your goalies worse.
