Post-Game Talk: Literally shooting yourself in the foot

[CycloneSweep]

I can’t stress enough how different a 3-0 series lead is than a 2-1 series lead. I hate to be over dramatic but I truly believe in my heart that the season is over if that disgrace Skinner continues playing

We were down 2-0 last round.

 

[Ck1]

This is the type of game that can change a series
Vegas will be full of piss and vinegar next game
Edmonton needs to match it or it’s back to having to win in there arena
And one can only hope pickard is back

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Up 2-1 after only actually playing hard in 1 game. Count ourselves lucky. Time to play our second game of the series with a proper effort.

Oh and Pickard needs to come back or it might not matter how we play.

Yup, they need to start playing harder. No coincidence they tied the game when they actually put pressure on Vegas.

Still, maybe it serves as a lesson. They got away with a subpar game last game. Not this one.

 

[BlackDogg]

At least I saved on car insurance.

 

[DrDrai]

Just turned it on to catch Skinner talking, sounds defeated.

Didn’t think they would score with 0.4 seconds, either did your teammates buddy.

 

[crowncarrier]

Rodrigue can't be that bad, right?

Maybe try Jeff Skinner in net.

 

[frag2]

lol Skinner

“Be good team mates”

How about you fat f*** do your job properly for a change???

 

[OddManRush]

We were down 2-0 last round.

Who started Games 3,4,5, and 6?

 

[snipes]

Skinner really has to quit doing interviews, he’s a train wreck.

If I was his teammate and saw this I’d be disgusted as much as they probably are with his play.

I pray Pickard can play game 4 and onwards otherwise we’re done.

 

[MoontoScott]

C'mon. That play is instinctive and D would do it too. Puck is going across an empty net and there is no way in real time to know that puck isn't going in. Its a reaction play, and every player will try to bat that away. Didn't work out.

I'm sure theres going to be enough Drai hate tonight. Forget about his MVP level season,

Skinner was the goalie that allows that complete nothing play with hardly any time left to go right through him. All Skinner has to do there is stay in cage. But he's an idiot so we lost the game.

4more GA by Skinner in 20sog.

What a save % and GAA.

Skinner 0-3 in playoffs.

The other guy is 6-0


Oilers deserved to lose tonight, as a team. They were outworked all over the ice for 3 periods. We're even getting hockey gods miracle stuff with own goal to tie in a game were bringing nothing.

No one is forgetting about his MVP status and the fact that they wouldn't have made the playoffs without him but come on....he was bad tonight.

He'll be better on Monday night but he wasn't good enough tonight.

 

[Drivesaitl]

It doesn't have to be Drai hate to admit that he had a really bad game tonight. Probably the worst I can remember. MVP calibre players have occasional awful games.

Drai didn't have a good game. Yes. My sense from reading your post is your were blaming him specifically for the goal that went in off his stick.

Kane wasn't strong either tonight. That impacted things too. After coming out on adrenaline he's starting to slow down. It happens.

Drai is obviously playing hurt again. But lets remember he was injured late in season and this org had to get him out there in a crucial game against Calgary that potentially had playoff implications. Its been a shitty season. Sure team has turned it around in playoffs but lets not forget maybe that Drai was our best player all season. He's not superhuman, nobody is.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

The worst thing about Skinner isnt even his goaltending, its that he thinks hes good and not an issue.

 

[Shizuka]

Maybe they can stuff fatso stauffer in a triple XL set up and jam him in net, put all those royal pizzas to use. Surely one of those rolls will make a stop where it wasn't to be found tonight.

 

[Macheteops]

Um all you guys blaming drai.... For the love of God grow some brains. Shot made at an empty net. Your reptilian instinct is to try and stop the puck from entering the net.

Maybe blame, oh I don't know, the goalie who is not in the actual net?

He had a terrible game. It's just the icing on the cake. He'll rebound

Stu likely won't. Hopefully Pickard is ready for game 4

 

[frag2]

Skinner is delusional. He may need a therapist.

Probably what Schwartz also moonlights as well

 

[Duke74]

Fun Saturday night. All the assholes get to come out of the woodwork on the mains…and here…

Hes playing hurt every playoffs.

I dont get it.

 

[Oilhawks]

Well, I mean that's probably it for Stuart Skinner the Edmonton Oiler. At least it should be.

Sadly, I have a feeling it won’t be. Him and Dustbin are teflon

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

74 is probably done on this team.

Or at least should be

Well, I mean that's probably it for Stuart Skinner the Edmonton Oiler. At least it should be.

Yup lmao

 

[rebuildorbust]

Skinner played fine rest of the team failed him on the last play

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Is to the point of mental torture for the players and even Skinner playing on this team. Could be a serious infection point now.

Honestly I feel for him. He a good goalie, even a great one by hockey standard.

He just not NHL caliber, that on the organization for not recognizing it.

He was terrible tonight - turning pucks over, bad changes. Stu played it terribly, he is not a good goalie. Doesn’t mean draisaitl wasn’t bad tonight

You know it don't come easy.

 

[iCanada]

0-3
5.36 GAA
.817

What are we even talking about here.

Remarkably his 4 GAA and .833 tonight made his post season stats better.



Like wtf.

 

[Macheteops]

The worst thing about Skinner isnt even his goaltending, its that he thinks hes good and not an issue.

That's the reason I despise the clown. 0-3 looks awesome on him. The backup is 6-0
