GDT: Game#22 - Rangers@Oilers - 8PM - Holes

[iCanada]

He's got the yips. He'll recover.

He's literally been worse this year than Campbell was last year

Campbell had .875 sv% with -0.610 GSAx/60. Skinner this year has 0.876 sv% with -0.769 GSAx/60.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

Jeez, Thornton looks almost as old as Bouchard.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

I didn’t love the goal he gave up, however he did make some key saves just before we went up 3-0 that he should get credit for.

Ok that's fair. But instead of rallying against our guy, who has the talent to be an NHL elite, maybe we should rally behind our guy.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

i give this a 100% chance of happening, but, before it does, he has not been good. He hasn't been good enough to prop up a less than stellar defensive team in front of him. I think that's fair to say.

Where is this less than stellar bs come from as a whole? Lol

It has to be trolling. I hope skinner goes to a team we play in the playoffs

We will break scoring records

I tried that and got laughed at. Good luck.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Skinner? Dynamo?
Yeah this Dynamo:

Remake of that would be sweet.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Well good goalies sometimes bail their team out. Skinner can barely be trusted for basic saves.

He hasn't hit his prime yet.

 

[tardigrade81]

Don't even think Edmonton needed me in net

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Except we don't have horrendous defense.

We're top 5 in the league in shots against, scoring chances against, high danger chances against, xGA, Corsi against, and Fenwick against.

We give up basically nothing on average. Yet we have below average GA. Why? We also have practically league worst goaltending. Skinner is 75th in goals saved above expected.

Loop at tonight. We have been good. Skinner knocked their one goal into the net lol. Made another good save on a chance he gave away behind the net. Made another oneyat the side of the net where he barely got there

We must have different eyes than others. Every shot on this guy scares me. Nothing feels organic with him.

 

[iCanada]

He hasn't hit his prime yet.

Statistically, based on average NHL goaltending careers he's literally already past his prime.

 

[TB12]

Hfoil can bitch about Skinner all you want. It's early in the year and it's an extremely hard position to fill with horrendous defence. Skinner is going to go to another team soon and be an absolute dynamo. You'll miss him when he's gone.

Counter point: no, I will not.

Skinner has been a much bigger issue than the defense.

People always laugh at me. The trick is not giving a shit.

They just don't wanna pay you what you're worth.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Nothing would make me happier than never having to see Ron on my TV again. Let someone line Kyle bukaskis or however you spell it take over for him.

Oh I take it as a badge of honour.

 

[Senor Catface]

Skinner has been a much bigger issue than the defense.

And in general, the fanbase on here has been forgiving with Skinner. There's some clear frustration, but there's only a few posters where it seems personal.

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I would respect that if you didn’t shit on everything and everyone else in the organization besides Skinner.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

McDavid going spread eagle off the draw there.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Dang imagine of Connor got injured on that. That would suck

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Jeff skinner can't just stand there and get walked lol

I'm very unimpressed with this guy he has zero motor

 

[ZJuice]

Does the ice look dark now? Perhaps a setting on my tv kicked in for night mode or something but it seems yellow/dark since before intermission

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Like 7 rangers on the ice

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I save my vitriol for management. I rather like the coaching staff (save one particular individual).
