we havent lost in 6 games… what could possibly be the difference
Drai's lane to cut off Karlsson in the NZ is a highlight on that play, too. Could've easily cut him off if he didn't try to skate right at him. Another comeback game in these playoffs where the stars get caught late being too aggressive.Drai was only on ice for two GA tonight including the end debacle which was setup by Skinner swimming out to where, why? Drai is left trying to be goalie with one second left in a game where we don't have a legitmate goalie.
Drai is probably only at goal line there because he's seen the horror shows before and he knows the clown is in net managing to f*** up on the last sequence in the game. If Skinner does ANYTHING a goalie should be doing there then the game goes to OT. But its Skinner so...
Classic Not My Fault Stu.
1st goal / a total mess of an initial save and winds up flat on his ass losing the puck completely and doing the freshly caught fish dance, puck into net.
2nd goal / yes a breakaway where he lifts his sliding pad up - why only he and God knows - and it’s an easy slide through a bus sized 5 hole.
3rd goal / yes a shit line change but overplays the short pass and has to dash back allowing the puck to magically go right through him
4th goal / what in the holy f*** was that. Lost track of time, did the Street Hockey Shuffle and gets walked. Just stay in your Goddam net so Pope Leo doesn’t have to put his stick into your yawning cage to prevent an open net goal YOU FKG MORON.
Yes Smilin’ Stu made a couple nice stops. That’s what he’s paid to do. But the 4 he lets in are all stoppable pucks, 3 of them routine.
The gameplay completely changed after that joke of a first goal where the team visibly tightened their sphincters because of his erratic goaltending.
Get him away from the team. I’d rather ride and die with an EBug at this point.
This is the perfect post to describe it.
I mean thats it. Skinner just has to be a goalie on the play. Instead of whatever he was doing. Reilly must have wet himself when he saw Skinner floating away from cage. "Holy shit, this might even work again"
No idea. He who hesitates masturbates, so the bottom line is that nothing went down and here we are.Wasn’t there an available deal with the Ducks rumored?
Id call up Day or Delia before I watch that guy play goalie just for the fact that the team clearly doesnt like Skinner.Stu isn't it, we all know that. I'd consider recalling Delia as well. No idea why we didn't in the first place? He won the Condors crease to end the season.
The idiot lost his net. As usual. If he doesn't move and stays in position, the puck is saved.How the F did Skinner choke? The Oilers turned it over AGAIN, and Draisatl deflected it in.

They generated virtually no offense after going up 2-0. They had the Knights buried and just let them off the hook.
This is not a joke anymore. Skinner is 0-3 in his only 3 games played this playoffs. He has a GAA above 6. His save percentage is approaching sub .800. And just to put it into perspective the Oilers have scored 10 fking goals in those 3 losses. This is beyond a joke now.
Wish mcdaid had a mean streak to him and gave the management an ultimatum over Skinner playing again. Fk me I'm angry
Puck was thrown to the net from the goal line and only a Drai deflection could've caused it to go in.How’d the puck get there? Where was the goalie to get in the way of the accidental deflection?
You know a GSAA of -1.39 is actually a pretty good game for Skinner, believe it or not.expected goals against were 2.81 to 2.61.
Analytically losing 4-3 is a bad result.
If you watch the angle it would have gone in, just not in time. The angle has it going right inside the post.Puck was thrown to the net from the goal line and only a Drai deflection could've caused it to go in.
Having said that Skinner can go f*** himself.
Zero chance his teammates dont take notice of him smiling post game after a loss like that.Ask yourself / what happened at 2-0 to change that???
That’s when Smilin’ Stu let in an absolute joke of a goal and the teams sphincters visibly tightened changing how they played the game. They went totally into prevent mode. Credit to Vegas who gave them nothing but the Oilers were afraid to play free after they realized shitty Stu had the pipes.
If this is indeed true, sit his ass and play Rodrigue. I don't gaf about potential cap implications next season, the guy is an overpaid AHL goalie.Id call up Day or Delia before I watch that guy play goalie just for the fact that the team clearly doesnt like Skinner.
Numbers like those got Jack Campbell sent to a funny farm. Stu’s thinking Hall of Fame.This is not a joke anymore. Skinner is 0-3 in his only 3 games played this playoffs. He has a GAA above 6. His save percentage is approaching sub .800. And just to put it into perspective the Oilers have scored 10 fking goals in those 3 losses. This is beyond a joke now.

Imagine this board if that was Nurse instead of Draisaitl deflecting it in.The puck literally doesn't go into the net if Draisaitl doesn't shoot it in himself. You understand this, right?
Skinner is maybe not even a backup goalie and was at fault for 1 and 2, but Draisaitl shot a puck into his own net with .4 seconds left. It's that simple.
I think he was signed early enough we can buy him out at 1/3 split over twice the length, so that would be like 400k a year dead cap I think.If this is indeed true, sit his ass and play Rodrigue. I don't gaf about potential cap implications next season, the guy is an overpaid AHL goalie.
Stu had worse numbers than Campbell when Campbell got sent to the nether realm.Numbers like those got Jack Campbell sent to a funny farm. Stu’s thinking Hall of Fame.
There's no chance you watch Skinner's movement on that play and say "yeah thats excellent goaltending, what a great way to challenge the shooter".How the F did Skinner choke? The Oilers turned it over AGAIN, and Draisatl deflected it in.

They are still up one game with a home ice advantage. Let's not get ahead of ourselves in the wake of a loss.If Calvin remains out, this is likely end of the run.
