And the year before. And they could have won with more than just Woll. I'm starting to think Skinner is legitimately in the bottom quartile of league goalies, not just starters. He's 51st in Goals Saved Above Expected heading into today...and that number isn't going to improve after this game.

There was a "comedian" on HF Oil suggesting that Skinner shit the bed in period one because he has a newborn, which is weird because I don't remember him having a newborn when he had an awful first period all those other games this season...

I thought Skinner was pretty good but the last 1.5 years have been rough
 
Oilers going into multiple playoffs with Skinner as the starter will be remembered as one of the biggest blunders of this era.

Has to be so frustrating for McDavid playing with that level of goalie and knowing his legacy is being affected because of it.

It's not just Skinner, the Oilers don't have much defenisve depth ..... as shown tonight with Ekholm out.

Now can you imagine Skinner on a team like Anaheim or San Jose or Chicago?

Try to tell me that guy is an NHL starter, or even a 1B? Skinner had one good season, cratered that year in the playoffs, and in all honesty, never really recovered. His numbers look better than Pickard's because Pickard is a literal AHL goalie.
