Skinner is going to be like a unleashed Rottweiler who has been tortured all his life and is behind ready to attack.

That’s right I’m doubling down.

from an absolutely biased, still enraged caps fan, mantha is the most useless player in the league. It is insulting that he is even allowed to still play in the league. If Jeff Skinner simply fell off the bench in the first game in edm he would be contributing more then Mantha will over the life his contract. To all the posts before this one saying maybe he will turn it around, maybe its a wake up call, or he hasnt floated so far.

He wont
He wont
and give it time.

Mantha hits, Skinner doesnt. Mantha is tougher and can fight, Skinner doesnt. Mantha is big and Skinner isnt. How is Skinner any better? Scoring some perimeter goals in regular season doesnt make him better, he is very one dimensional.

Skinner is not a perimeter scorer at all. And while he isn’t a fighter, he doesn’t back down from a confrontation and is often an escalator during scraps. Been watching the wrong player?

Wouldn't take any post from that poster seriously on Oilers related topics. His entire online persona is built around shitting on the Oilers lol.

You dont build a cup winning team by getting the "best" name you can get. You build them by seeing which player is a fit, which areas you lack and which ones can contribute in playoffs. I guess Oilers just went after names...arvidsson, skinner etc. Now they are more of a one dimensional team and lack those high energy, grind it out, meat and potatoe hockey players. You dont win playoff games by being soft and on the perimeter.
There’s a lot of gibberish from this post lol

Mantha was a non-factor with the VGK-Dallas series. He eventually was a healthy scratch, munching on popcorn as his team got bounced.

Skinner has maybe been the best part of a shitty start for us. he's been excellent.

It’s funny how quickly sentiment changes here, and how quickly folks forget. People have always loved to dog on Skinner, but at least he does something. A+ shit disturber, and a really solid 2nd line scorer in the right situation.

..the f*** has Mantha ever done besides disappoint? I get it if someone doesn’t love Skinner or the Oilers signing him, still better than Mantha imo.

Skinner has been the best Oilers forward in this short season. Battle level high. Offensive creativity elite.

Mantha a streaky lazy bum. This little Flames resurgence will Flame out when the Flames flame out. Flame.
