Something fishy is up with this org and their love affair for Nuge and Skinner, It can't really be the coach imho, like a 10 year old would know better, these 2 players never any accountability / always absolved for any criticism, something is not normal.

That 3rd GA was absolute shit from Skinner.
People are going to really say this level of goaltending isn’t a massive contribution to this slide. It’s beyond bad.
Stu always gives up weak goals game in and game out. Then he plays one game decent and everyone figures he's a bonafide starter, only to shit the bed the next game. My new and most favorite avatar says it all.
Talk about consistency. It's like clockwork: Skinner will have 5 or 6 straight games of .700 to .899 sv%, then one game of .910-.920, and all the Skinner supporters like Gregor and Rishaug and the usuals here come out with puffed chests as if they've been right all along.

The Skinner cope is so strong that I can't help but laugh and shake my head at the derangement. It's embarrassing as hell but I still laugh.
Being a member of the Skinner family must mean you have to defend him to the death on all social media. Meanwhile, their family crest has a picture of a puck going fivehole on a shot from the point with "non spectare per tentorium" in Latin ("must not look through a screen") on top.

Starting Skinner in this game is f***ing ridiculous.
Guess we have to invest another loss that is mostly his fault so that we can start doing the obvious.

I predict we’re up 1-0 going into the third on the back of out shooting them around 30-16.
Then we’ll do something insanely stupid early in the 3rd to tie it, then Skinner will seal the deal for them shortly following the first one. Then a limp attempt at coming back thereafter.

Nuge has earned it for what he’s put up with during his first 9 years with this franchise. He’s also signed a discounted deal and has been playing above that contract during its duration.
You mean his 871 sv% over the last 2 months doesn’t inspire confidence?
I thought the Skinner family crest was a piece of swiss cheese with a spaghetti strainer in the background. And a banner with whatever's Latin for "Infinite Holes."
The day that Schwartz is fired and Skinner is traded or waived is the day you should find the nearest bomb shelter, because the apocalypse would definitely be coming.
Rangers are fighting for a playoff spot and we trot out Skinner, they’re going to be licking their chops. This won’t be pretty.
I call Movie rights.
Skinnageddon
haha Maybe we up 5-1 and then Stu makes it interesting, culminating in a 5-4 victory amirite?
Put up with? Come on, he was part of the problem. If he wasnt such a limp dick Center, the Oilers wouldve at least gotten places. The fact that he was drafted as a center and plays that role extremely poorly was a huge reason why the team ended up with McD. I agree with the discount but dont let him being a nice guy cloud your judgement.
This team is wack when it comes to 'nice guy' players. Protect them at all costs mindset even if they are utter shit on ice
Kind of hilarious that after 3 years of Skinner, we still need to score a min of 4 [bare min] to have a chance at victory
That's some consistency alright
I think you are onto something. I believe the Oilers have proved the theory of the Menger Sponge.

Pretty sure i saw that movie, didn't it star Lick Tyler and Bruce Willie.....
