Post-Game Talk: Literally shooting yourself in the foot

The media likes Stu so he will always get somewhat of a break.

After thinking about it, an overtime win was probably unlikely given the mistakes we were seeing--- so chalk it up as "deserved loss" and move on. You know they will be better in game #4. If not then its not a championship team.

The series really comes down to the fragility of Pickard's "lower body"

They can't win with Skinner in net but the shocking part is that they didn't at least get someone who was capable at the AHL level. The team knew that Rodrigue wasn't doing too well in Bako. That left them at the mercy of the fortunes of a 32 year old journeyman goalie. As said by so many posters before--just plain stubborn--like taking grandpa to the dentist.

Something they can do is come up with a plan for the Powerplay. Its gone cold and we can't blame Stu for that.

Oilers win 5-2 on Monday night. Talk to you then.
 
I watched the replays again this morning

Sucks to say this but I do think I’m done watching this team if Stuart Skinner is in net. Not worth the torture. I hope Pickard is ready for next game, otherwise my playoff watching is probably over unless Skinner goes on some super human heater (bar is low for him) and we somehow pull together some wins with him.

Just have better things to do than watch this guy shit his pants after every game and support an org that decided he was our answer in net after such a large sample size to show he isn’t .

After not watching last night, despite being a little annoyed that the score was what it was. I simply moved on with my night. Stuart shitter is not worth my energy

Bleh this org…just bleh. Joke. Just a joke
 
Another media source standing up for Skinner surprise surprise. It's getting beyond embarssing with the gaslighting. Between all the media and knoblach interview aftwr the game and even fking Skinner amd i have the team a chance to win with his .833 save percentage yet AGAIN. Every excuse in the book for this guy every game it's disgusting. They're insulting the fans and there intelligence with this bullshit

Those guys are considered media? They just look like a couple of amateur old guys. Neither are even remotely good at communicating.
 
Knob needs to grow some balls and play the rookie. The story of the rookie going in and stealing games has been written many a time in playoffs past.

If it's not game 4 then they gotta go game 5 if Stu shits the bed again.

No way he should stay in the net if he goes 0-4 these playoffs and you have a healthy goalie sitting there ready to play.

I am a dyed in the wool habs fan but living in Edmonton I watch and cheer for the Oilers. I found myself disinterested in the team when it was clear that the plan was skinner in goal again for the playoffs.

Of all the terrible moves management has made since 2015, doubling and tripling down on skinner has had the most severe consequences.
 
Beyond a doubt, we know Skinner is not the guy. Not now, not next year. We don't win the series with him.
Hoping this lights a spark in Drai because he's been pedestrian at best for him.
Good time for some roster changes. Stetcher for Emberson. J. Skinner? I would take out Ardvisson, it's funny watching him fall but can't stand his play. Janmark? Two half hearted stick checks in his own zone led to goals.
I didn't like his play last night but we could still win the series with him imo.

Play him!
 
Sorry to chime in as a Leafs fan who cheers for Canadian teams this time of year but this was annoying to listen to. This guy doesn't even give any indication of accountability. Happy to insinuate/say he gave the team a chance to win, happy to blame bounces, not happy to say he needs to be better. I hope Pickard is healthy for you guys next game and I doubt I'll ever accept Skinner is the best Canadian goalie today no matter what anyone tells me.
This is Stuart Skinner and it’s as much to blame for his unpopularity in Edmonton as his consistently below NHL level of play. It’s also why his nick-name is “not my fault”, you’ll never see him take any accountability for his play instead you’ll hear in every interview how well he thought he played no matter what the result was.

Btw, it’s not Oilers fans who watch him game in and game out that are telling you he’s the best Canadian goalie.
 
Skinner lets in 5 and he’ll still say he gave the team a fighting chance.

Or bare minimum he thought he played well

The usual Skinnerisms
Yeh it's good to have self confidence but Skinner just pisses me off when he opens his mouth.
 
1 out of 10 games stu can play outstanding
Here’s hoping it’s next game so we can go up 3-1 in the series and put Vegas in a position to have to win 3 straight.
And give Pickard little more time to get back.
I hate having to cross fingers and hope our backup comes back from injury so we can have a chance

We win with Pickard in net, easily. Skinner is completely done. If Pix is out again, we lose again. Like everyone else, I'd rather see Orod than Skinner in the net. At least he has some mobility
We just need to score 7 goals with Skinner in net.
Not sure how can the team playing in front of him can trust him after last night.
Game 1 vs LA was bad enough with last min goal. Last night was just deflating
 
The problem is that Rodrigue has been training with Schwartz since Bakos season ended. I still trust him more than Stu though.
