Post-Game Talk: Literally shooting yourself in the foot

[Tobias Kahun]

Why?

He was so bad his last year here, they ejected him from the NHL and handed the starting job to Skinner

Because he wouldnt be smiling in a post game presser if he just blew the game.

He actually cared.

He also had a .915 in the regular season and .913 in the playoffs his last season here.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Someone please tell me Pickard is coming back next game.

 

[Balakay14]

I shouldn't care, as most of the post game stuff is just fluff, but man Skinner's always piss me off. Guy never takes accountability for anything, not even like yeah goal 1 was bad and I shouldn't be letter that in. He sounded like even he knew he was done though, and I hope to god he is and that Pickard can go on Monday

 

[scotchtapejr]

Can you believe there were actually people in the GDT standing up for Stuart? LMFAO.

How's that going for you??

There’s a lot of rose tinted glasses when it comes to him. The Avs scored on him for fun.

 

[iCanada]

It’s like he tries to make every scoring chance look like a rodeo so that he can’t be blamed if he’s on his ass, belly, or 10 feet away from the net when the puck goes in.

He does a damn good job of it, too.

 

[K1984]

Take away the overtime goal and they haven't been overwhelming--have they?

They’ve both been garbage since Game 5 against LA.

 

[McHelpus]

I don't think anybody is saying that Skinner isn't terrible

I should have worded better because I was reacting to his interview. I have no idea why they are asking him questions

 

[McShogun99]

I may be wrong but I'm sitting here half cut and know in my bones our journeyman back up wins us this one. Not replacing Skinner with a professional goalie at the trade deadline is a failure. Well, not replacing him at any point in the last 3 years is a failure. He isn't that guy and he never was that guy....Picks better get his ass back asap.

I wanted us to just get any NHl goalie at the trade deadline. Even just as insurance if Skinner or Pickard get injured. Right now any option is better then Skinner, even Rodrigue.

 

[Heavy Dee]

After watching the sequence several times, yes, you may be right. Just terrible luck on Draisaitl. The whole sequence is a comedy of errors for the entire team. You can't let that happen with 10s to play.

If Nurse gets his stick on the puck behind the net, we're in OT. Instead he goes for the hit.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Would you want this guy back stopping you. Pathetic. Rodrigue or Pickard must play.

 

[NeverForget06]

Did we really think THIS oilers group was going up 3-0? They’ll probably go down 3-2 and win it in 7 knowing them. Nothing can be easy

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Maybe you’ve had enough to drink tonight.

Not nearly enough but I appreciate the concern

 

[scotchtapejr]

It's why he sucks.

 

[K1984]

Rob Brown:

“Skinner made the big saves they needed.”

I can’t make this up.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

This brings back bad memories of when Roloson was hurt and left the series.

I’m looking back at the Ducks series and think these guys haven’t learnt anything about playing the full 60 minutes in the playoffs.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

They cannot win this if Stu keeps starting

 

[rboomercat90]

If Calvin remains out, this is likely end of the run.

It doesn’t look like this team is capable of winning a game with Skinner in the net so how could it not be.

This was a disturbing game tonight. The team came out flying early, took a 2-0 lead then had to adjust their game plan because Skinner couldn’t make the saves Pickard’s been making to bail them out when they made mistakes. After that we saw a very conservative game from the Oilers to try and limit chances against. Very little offensive push the rest of the game until 3 minutes left in the third period.

Whatever confidence they may have had left in Skinner was crushed again with that winning goal where he’s wondering out of his net in the final seconds Instead of just standing his ground. Never mind that he kept the game close. Vegas had the lead, they weren’t desperate to score another one. The issue again is he imploded when the game was on the line and the other team was desperately trying to score. He did it in the first period when the Oilers had the lead and he did it late when the game was tied. I keep saying it and I’ll say it again. Stuart Skinner is unplayable.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Skinner is delusional. He may need a therapist.

In his head he's a superstar. I think the broadcast and the media have talked him into thinking he's the reason we Win.

Despite him being near .500 in regular season and now 0-3 in playoffs and frankly just awful

 

[CycloneSweep]

Would you want this guy back stopping you. Pathetic. Rodrigue or Pickard must play.

Stuart, where are you in this shot? Can you point out where you are and where you should have been?

 

[lopper]

Would you want this guy back stopping you. Pathetic. Rodrigue or Pickard must play.

This guy is f***ing delusional

 

[Oilhawks]

Been listening to CHED for about 15 mins, the only mention of goaltending so far was that a few “weird ones” went in.

Goebbels.

Never ending gaslighting from this media. Like I said, Teflon Stu and Dustbin

 

[MoontoScott]

Would you want this guy back stopping you. Pathetic. Rodrigue or Pickard must play.

He always gives the same interview--I don't know why they bother.

 

[Faelko]

Knobby masterclass, just like LA g1. Let's throw the guys that were playing for 4 straight minutes back on to the ice so they can blow it again. Guy blew it again

I was wondering this as well. Drai was having a tough game, why was he out there? I’m not blaming him but at some point you need to recognize that a game that should be going to OT, you need to manage your bench better.

 

[Austerlitz]

After watching the sequence several times, yes, you may be right. Just terrible luck on Draisaitl. The whole sequence is a comedy of errors for the entire team. You can't let that happen with 10s to play.

There were a lot of mistakes but at the end of the day... the goalie literally had to hug his post and wait three seconds. That's it. That's all.
