[CanadasTeam99]

Too bad Sieve Skinner had to show up yet again. Edmonton should have won tonight. Much better team even sans McDavid. Get a goalie Stan.

Should have won round 1 in 5 last year, but Skinner had other thoughts. Don't make the same mistake again. Can't prolong a series the other team has no business being in.

I see Buffalo stormed back and won 3-2, but didn't watch that one.

All is well

A goal on a 2on1 and another on a break away. That’s more poor defence than it is poor goaltending

Could be both, but the sole blame isn’t on the goalie when you’re giving up those chances.

...agreed...Skinner still needs to tighten up that ship, though...one period, he looks like a legit Starter; 15 minutes later, he looks like an AHL backup...

He’s by no means a top goalie in the league but he’s also better than people want to admit. He gets ragged on far too much.

He sucks. I love it.

Garland needs to be in the bottom tier, Myers…… middle tier?

He sucks. I love it.

I’d take him in a heartbeat. He’s shown he has the abilities and Vancouver has some of the best goalie coaches.

Not true. He's been hot lately but before that him and Lindgren were meh.

That’s non sense. He’s won almost every game all year.

Horseshit. They lead the league in GF. They are second in GA. They are first in goal differential. He's a big part of what is going right, especially at present, but he is far from the only reason. They've spent most of the year scoring goals in droves.

The additions of Chychrun, Roy, and especially Dubois have been massive.

They are riding some lucky scoring and lucky goaltending. They are this years overachievers.

He's actually worse than most people want to admit, hence why Edmonton doesn't seem interested in upgrading in net.

After this game, Skinner is now 58th in the league for Goals Saved Above Expected, and 25th out of 31 for goalies who have played at least 23 games.

These were posted on HFOil about tonight's game:

"The 3-1 goal sequence particularly is clownshoes from Skinner. he's beat badly on a poor shot close in, hits post, thinks its in and Dubois buries the rebound for the GWG. This just 20 secs after Skinner farted a puck away behind his net almost leading to another GA."

"Expected goals were 4.7 to 1.6 for the Oilers 5v5."
