Probably what he means tbh. The Leafs scored as many of goals as Edmonton with McDavid in the lineup.

Without him, they're even worse.
A light ribbing at best, but both teams could also use more Finn's on the roster.
 
The goal he let in was a bad goal though.

He should be shutting out the Oilers if he was playing well. Did you think the Oilers had any real scoring chances?

Skinner is Skinner. When you have the cheapest goalie tandem in the league... you shouldn't expect good, or arguably even average goaltending.
Uncontested change up backhander in a high danger area, I thought it was a fine goal to give up. Not to mention that Draisaitl is very adept on his backhand with his canoe paddle blade.

Enough to get one slot/in close chances are always dangerous. A couple good saves on slot rebounds and a couple jam plays in close. This has been a tight checking game, not many clean looks. That's why that Skinner goal is an absolute backbreaker, that was a beer-league level goal.

Arvidsson with a terrible giveaway for the first one as well, but that 2 on 1 was executed very well by WSH - great sauce pass to Wilson.

Without McDavid, Edmonton looks like a rebuilding team. They try hard and take a lot of shots but have no talent.
That’s kind of how they always play though? They are are more of a high percentage shooting team and less of a finesse team. Not a bad strategy though, more pucks on net can lead to more goals.

Yeah, about that...so Skinner ranks 25th out of 31 goalies in goals saved above expected for goalies who have played at least 23 games, and 10 of the 24 goalies ahead of Skinner make less money than him, including Thompson, who makes at least three times less than Stu.
