He was -2 last night...ouch.

Yes.

We know you have strong opinions on games you didn't watch.

Here's Craig Button talking about how incredible the Oilers defense has been with
Stuart Skinner laying an alltime classic stinker.



Expected goals was under 4, and Skinner somehow let 6 by him.

I wouldn't say Skinner had a bad game. He let in 6 sure, but I don't think any were egregious.

Goal 1 was a breakaway shot placed just between the pad and blocker.

Goal 2 was a kicked in goal that trickled fivehole.

Goal 3 was a fluke rebound bounce off Emberson then off Skinner's shoulder in.

Goal 4 was a completely wide open cross seam chance. Don't no what the forwards were doing there.

Goal 5 was a shot from behind the goal line off Skinner's head and in.

Goal 6 was a wide open shot from the slot, Skinner screened by his own goalie.


Comple of fluke goals, couple of disaster defensive breakdowns. Team had an off night. In the previous 6 starts Skinner is like 5-1 with a .950 s%. Hes playing well.

He is 7th best in +/- in the whole league...thanks for your great assist while trying to down play a player and showing instead everybody you don't follow hockey ;-)

Only two player in the Top10 in scoring are in the Top10 in +/-.

He is having an MVP season in all important metrics...Goals, Points, EV Goals, GWG, Faceoffs, xGoals, advanced stats, etc. his defensive game has been awesome too.

The only one in his universe statwise is Kaprizov, he is having a MVP season himself... everybody else is/are a league below atm...but the season is still young.

Have you even watched the game and what are you trying to say?
Drai played good, even better than McD which applies to most of the games this year.
I am also sure he wasn't on the ice for so many goals this year as in this one...and I didn't see any failure defensively in this one...just poor goaltending/defense when I look at the Reinhart goal.

So what is the context of your post?
It's like saying something and don't know why or for what it is...Drai is carrying the team this year...I think McD will follow come playoff time (hopefully)
I watched the game and liked it (which I mentioned), Drai played well. As I posted before (double-headed monster), Drai has lots of points shared with McD this season, 28 out of 47 which is 60%. In context of MVP it should be accounted for, thats all.
