Not sure why you brought up the entire world and working as if that's a thing. I believe you are talking about stats over time. Unfortunately, time is limited in seasons and playoff series.

Its true more in seasons and less in playoffs. That's why you can't play with time, it's limited. Edmonton should have swept or won in 5.they didn't. Bc they had record breaking trash goaltending.

Watch that first period again and tell me the Oilers played like an elite defensive team in it. Skinner isn't very good but Edmonton is paying him 2.6. You get what you pay for. Not his fault the team has been a goalie graveyard for nearly two decades.

I will say it again: Skinner is 55th in Goals Saved Above Expected. Most of the 54 goalies ahead of him are paid less. We're getting ripped off.

You guys are unbelievable. What compels you to defend every shitty goal he lets in? What motivates you guys to robotically rush to his defense? Put him behind Anaheim's defense or San Jose's or Chicago's and tell me how he compares to their goalies? He'd be washed out of this league, dude.

How many goals did Woll save that would go past Skinner tonight? Answer that before you defend this guy who for the 7th or 8th time this season let three goals past him in ten shots or less. If this was the first time this happened all year nobody would be saying anything. A pattern is developing.

As somebody who watched many just missed bubble teams, it's just not necessary. Give fans a mercy rule and go with 16 teams. not all teams need playoffs.

Totally agree. The only change to the playoffs I would make is going 1-8 with division winners being top 2, instead of this Divisional format thing.

Also look at bob. He stoned us the first few games. Doesn't look great this year, but I'll take him with a track record

Hard to win in 4 or 5, scoring, checks note, 1 goal in the first 2 games. But, you're the stats over time guy, so I'm sure you can spin a cute yarn.

Like I said he's not good. Not a fan and never been one. He's a 26 year old 3rd round pick that has 158GP and never really even had good numbers in the AHL. Ridiculous to have the weight of a supposed cup favourite on a goalie like that.

But this belief that he's the only reason the Edmonton Oilers ever lose a hockey game and that they are flawless otherwise should probably get classified in the next DSM as mental illness. Seems to be contagious even.

Well, to be fair, Skinner had zero goals in the finals last year. That's not good.

Don't avoid the question. It's a simple question

Unless you want to be cowardly about it

Im not doing your homework, Chad. I know he had zero goals, but I'm not opening a new window to help you feel like you know how to argue your point about Edmonton sweeping after scoring 1 goal in the first two games.

In sum, you avoided a question despite calling others cowards on, checks notes, the internet.

Well, I personally believe that flat-earthers have some type of mental illness, and defending Stuart Skinner after a game like the one he had tonight puts you right there with flat earthers for an obliviously stubborn refusal of the obvious.

He's not the only reason they lost tonight, but if there was ever a game where you could pin the loss on one guy without sounding hyperbolic, this was it. And you can say that about most of this team's losses this season. Not some. MOST.

You can't invoke flat earthers as an analogue in an argument and call other people hyperbolic.

So you cannot answer one simple question?

That's interesting
