and brain, hes making the worst of most available chances out there and has been for a while. Passes at the goal line, drop passes to no one, passing it into skates and trying to force passed through 4 defenders and sometimes he does all this in a goal scoring location or High danger area and doesn't shoot
Was reported his existence on this team was a favor to one scout. Well that scout might need to fired.
I think Bouchard cloned his brain and loaned it to McDavid with the shoot/pass IQ
And Josh Brown is shit. Playing him 2 games in a row is monumental stupidity
Skinner hasn’t been great either. No real need to add to the discussion on that topic.Feel free to disagree with what I said.
Skinner is entirely dependent on the Oilers playng airtight D in front of him. Pretty much most of the time anyway. He had a rare good game last one where he influenced the outcome. Usually its just the Oilers shutting everything down in front of him and owning the puck.
He isn't, people are just sick of the constant shit a lot of posters talk about the guy.
There's a weird massive overlap between the "the management team is horrible and should be put in front of a firing squad" crowd and the "it's everyone's fault other than Skinner" crowd.
I never said this year. Its happened several times in Skinners career here. I'll count the times when I'm bored sometime.
Skinner isnt playing bad though....he's an average goalie playing average on most nights lol
When we gave him a 3 year deal I was like WTF? Then seeing him in preseason wow horrible. Look where we are now!
they've run pre recorded vingettes at the intermission for 2 years now. Im just glad this wasn't another kid with cancer type tape, I can only handle so many of them.
