Lol, they won in spite of him. The kid is an acceptable backup goalie, that's itThose refs were almost as bad at watching the game as the Skinner haters on here.
The NHL pays guys to open doors at the penalty box but they can’t have a 3rd ref to actually call their own game properly.Normally, they are actual penalties though, like they might not call it even but what they do call on the Oilers are actual infractions. The past 2 games they've straight up imagined things.
All the whiners from the last 2 games who have mended their broken ankles.What shall we complain about tonight, fellas?
This week has been very difficult as I had to say goodbye to my mother.
This win helps ease the pain.
Did you miss the first 10 minutes of the game?Lol, they won in spite of him. The kid is an acceptable backup goalie, that's it
The play where Perry goes behind the net, plays the puck, tries to get to it, gets interfered with by Stanley, held against the baords, still tries to get thru, so Stanley punches him in the face, while this is going on I'm thinking 'And Vinny got two penalties last game for interference that were about 100 times less egregious than this.'The tripping call on Nurse to start the game was also completely phantom. Same with the bullshit interference call on Hyman that basically occurs every single faceoff. McIssac is in the running for worst referee in the NHL. As other posters pointed out, he was leading the charge in that circus game in Chicago last year. He’s just as bad in non-Oiler games too.
Thought we played a real quality game outside of the first 10 mins or so. We got caught maybe being a bit too comfortable after going up 3-1, but I thought those goals were good fortune as much as anything else. Ceci could have prevented the third goal by simply not icing it like an idiot. Brown is starting to play some quality hockey, really like his game at the moment and pucks are starting to go in. Very positive sign.
Also want to echo the fact that the PK was awesome tonight. Our best game on the kill this year, nice to see them nut up and respond after the disaster in Ottawa.
Did you miss the 3rd? He can't be letting in goals like that in the playoffs, they'll end just like last year.Did you miss the first 10 minutes of the game?
#29 scares me much moreI don't wanna face the Jets in playoffs. Helleybuch is litterally the only player who scares me in this league
The 1st one he was completely screened by 73 and the second was one hell of a tip.Did you miss the 3rd? He can't be letting in goals like that in the playoffs, they'll end just like last year.
Which goal are you referring to?Did you miss the 3rd? He can't be letting in goals like that in the playoffs, they'll end just like last year.
The oilers are a better team than the Jets. They live and die on helleybuck. Think about what a goalie with his save percentage would do on this team. Skinner is an acceptable back up. It's not his fault that he has to be the starter. But he is and he isn't good enough.#29 scares me much more

He has the same # of wins as Hellebucyk, and less losses too.

I was with you on this until you mentioned the Brown goal. That was an absolute snipe. No goalie in the world stops that.Skinner makes 2.7M and he is certainly good enough.
He is 25 years old and has a career SV% of .910 a GAA of 2.7 and a record of 68-34-9
Helle will win the Vezina this year and makes 3x the money.
You lot wouldn't be happy unless we had prime Hasek in net. Every goalie has a bad game. Remember the softie Hellebucky let in against Nurse last time we played the Jets? Imagine that Brown shot beat Skinner tonight or Skinner kicked out that juicy rebound on Hymans shot. Yall are blinded by hate.

That's probably true lol, but let's give Brown some credit. That was a laser off his stick in the perfect location. I'm still not sure if it ramped off the Dman's stick or not but either way let's hope he keeps it rolling. Just need to get the monkey off Kane's back and our depth scoring could look really really good.You just know what the narrative would be in here though.
"Skinner let's in a goal on a guy who hasn't scored all fkn season because he sucks" lol
Imagine showing this post to someone a month ago.I was with you on this until you mentioned the Brown goal. That was an absolute snipe. No goalie in the world stops that.
Connor Brown only needs 27 more goals to make my 30 goal prediction come true.
My sincere condolences.Thanks everyone for your kind words. My mom likes to yell at the goalie whenever he played the puck so I told her I’d do it in her place.
