Post-Game Talk: Oilers win by the Skin of their teeth

[Soundwave]

He likely would have if the goalies were swapped.

Poor Skinner... we are just piling on at this point... but it was remarkable the exent of the divide in the skill level of the 2 goalies tonight.

Seeing the gap between Skinner next to Sorokin side by side is like

 

[OfCorsiDid]

The priority has to be a goalie, not a RHD

There's no way NSH would trade Saros? Right? Right. right?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

He had to have because he was the guy who got dangled on the 3-2 goal.

He was benched after that I think he was the guy who let Lee go

 

[TB12]

Look how long it took him to move loolllll.

That needs a trigger warning on it. That's some of the worst lateral movement I have ever seen.

On another note, I love you, Connor McDavid.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Getting close.

 

[Ibanez]

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the team defense in this game. They surrendered like 2 chances total.

Expectations for our goaltending are way, way too low around here.

This. This all day, night, tomorrow night, and into next week

The Oilers would have put up double digits against this fool. He was making every stop look difficult again tonight. Well wait he made one clean glove stop early and then was dropping turds all over the ice. What would this guy even look like facing 42 SOG? Fortunately we don't have to see that.

Remember when he made a routine save, had the puck covered, but didn't realize it and almost farted it into his own net?

If you’re gonna post something like this you need to use the gif too. (Preferably the one with the cat)

This one?

Skinner was so deep in his net on the last goalie. Just generally out of position

But look at Sorokin pad position in the butterfly, or really almost any good goalie and their pads cover more due to being able to flex into a proper T. With Skinner he can barely do a V. His legs might break if he stretches further. A f***ing clown. He's a pro goalie in the top rung of the sport and his ability and fundamentals are awful. Sorokin when down in butterfly covers one post to another, despite being smaller. Skinner leaves at least 2.5ft open on ice in butterfly. Just horrendous form.

 

[Cloned]

I am getting that 2006 feeling slowly. The one where I see how we were playing. Supressing shots to under 20 almost every game. Getting let down by tending.

We will have our "Roloson" this year. Just a matter of time

Who’s MAB this year?

what the f*** is the backstory to this photo?

Bouchard.

Or is that too on the head?

Looks like a lottery winner who found his true love.

Didn’t he win the lottery or something haha

When my daughter grows up a little and complains of nightmares. I’m just going to show her game tape of Stuart Skinner.

She will sleep soundly forever after

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Big win, they were the dramatically better team. McDavid was f***ing amazing.

Hey geniuses, listen to Leon.



Time for a serious conversation about Skinny boy, this isn't good enough for a contender

 

[Drivesaitl]

Remember when he made a routine save, had the puck covered, but didn't realize it and almost farted it into his own net?

I do, and I didn't even put that one in the list. haha with Skinner theres so many farts you stop calling him on it.

Skinner on tying goal, his expression, Oh, I f***ed it again. I don't know how this works but does Skinner have to buy everybody on the team beers after game for them to put up with him. I'd be done.

 

[MoontoScott]

Great 3rd period from Mc-D. Huge games from both Drai and Ekholm.

I wonder if someone had the stat--how many games (as a %) have the Oilers had the 2nd best goalie on the night?

Yep the offense performed to expectation really.

Skinner shit the bed. That's pretty much it.

“Heavy shot, nothing you can do about that”
- Louie, probably

 

[Tarus]

I don’t believe Jeff skinner played a shift in the 3rd

He did

You can spot him being told where to go in the defensive zone by a teammate and promptly getting deked out of his jock strap on the 2nd islander goal.

Skinners pad positioning is like Freddy Krueger claws to me. I'll have nightmares anyway. Oh we won, Thank god as I said for 4 superstar goals and needing every one. Skinner requiring the whole team to gut out an OT win and only because we have superstars. Otherwise we lose cuz Fred Skinner.

If we got Sorokin this is a shutout.

There probably isn't a specific stat, but this one probably tells the tale (goals saved above expected)

Schwartz would ensure that Sorokin would be Koskinen.

 

[MoontoScott]

J. Skinner demoted to 4th line. I guess the excitement on that signing has gone South.
