3 of the players in the oil-stars game were sharks this season lol

Including 1/3rd of the oilers D core.

Dumba made a grumpy face at one point and I would have liked a little more snarl, but no reason to take a penalty over a legal hit.

The first penalty against the Oilers felt like a bad call2.

I knee-jerk that our D isn’t good enough and is injured, but I think more credit is due to a crazy pass and some elite speed, etc.

Ultimately they had too large of a deficit to claw back from but at least they were willing to keep going and came close to tying it back up.

Have to wonder what Rantanen's thinking after nobody on his new team even gave the Oilers a mean look after he got blown up, especially when they were in the process of getting blown out. Maybe if Skinner let them complete the comeback they could've at least said they didn't want to take a penalty that cost them the game, but that didn't happen either.

I really doubt he gave it nearly as much thought as you appear to.

Dude scored later in the game.

Skinner just can't make a save for his team

He’s so bad. It’s wild how management and most of the hockey media don’t seem to think goaltending is their biggest problem. Every game skinner is either giving up 3 in the first or almost blowing games because he can’t stop a beach ball. Edm needs consistency in net and he’s not the answer. Last playoffs he did everything he could to blow it. If not for mcdavid’s ridiculous 43 points and an historic pk, they likely don’t get to the finals.

If he keeps playing like this, no complaints.

Great player. He was only a minus-1 on a Sharks team that is minus-72

Skinner is great at keeping the other team in the game.

 

[PaulD]

Having McDavid and going into so many playoff runs with Skinner as number 1 is going to be looked back on as one of the greatest managerial blunders in league history

probably

He took a couple of shots with the score 5-4, where I wouldn’t have expected it.

When it happening when it was 5-1? Yup, someone should’ve stepped up for him. Especially for the fact it was his first game for the team.
