Post-Game Talk: Sewart Skinner in the FLA Swamp

[Heavy Dee]

Ekholm was garbage. Responsible for the game winner. Henrique was terrible- gave it away for the 4-4 goal. Knob was terrible- still hasn’t figured out what works against Florida of wingers quick chips into the neutral zone.

Henrique was an abortion of a signing. 3.5 for a beer league effort every night.

Starting to wonder if mcdavid is sick or not 100 percent?

Remember the dumb lazy blind pass turnovers that Draisaitl was infamous for that drove all of us here nuts at times?

McDavid seems to have adopted those, while Leon has mostly cut them out. He’s been throwing it away lately and killing possessions at way too high of a clip.

 

[Jumptheshark]

f*** me with a tire iron.

Nope. You enjoy it too much and have requested we stop using lube!

 

[MoontoScott]

Uncle Bob won it so there is hope... but yeh Pickard better be ready

I thought Pickard would start tonight??

But Oiler management with another statement on Skinner--ok--he's your guy we get it--no point arguing with these boys.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

f*** me with a tire iron.

If you wanna be punished just watch Skinner play goalie

 

[foshizzle]

Defense was fine.

Florida had 4 high danger chances all night.

Wow. They score 6. Damn

 

[DaGap]

Skinner lets in 3 on 10 shots against in the 3rd with the lead

I mean so did the other guy.....

 

[Oilhawks]

How many more games do they have on J Bozos shit platform? f*** this curse

 

[GMofOilers]

Seen this so many times, you knew once he allowed the fifth goal the 6th wasn’t too far behind

Worst goalie in the league, if we don’t play perfect we need 6 to win usually

 

[McFlash97]

Ekholm was bad, Bouchard was terrible and Skinner was horrific.

That's all that was needed for Florida to walk away with a win. Never seen the top pairing be so bad In a game this season. Both guys were horrific. Skinner is what he is. A terrible big game goaltender.

 

[Shanahanigans]

You mean like when we have 2 top 6 forwards come back healthy?

Henrique is not a driver, same way RNH is not. He can’t anchor the bottom 6. Im less concerned about the wingers as I am the 3C spot. You saw how impactful Lundell was today.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

What a stinker

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Horrific defensively and very poor goaltending
Wtf was that on the tying goal?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Ladies!!! The whole team sucked on the HOLE!!

 

[Drivesaitl]

Still got the job done without Barkov.

Thats the thing. They didn't have their best player. But Skinner the great equalizer, for opponents. Florida weren't even good in this game and played maybe one period, third, and it was enough because..

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Still got the job done without Barkov.

They got outplayed they had expected goals of 3. Bad goaltending kills.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

No he is. I do expect less out of him than a $10M goalie though.

Was Stu good tonijght? Nah.

But pretty ridiculous to focus on that and not all the egregious mistakes we saw in this game that we didn’t see in most of this win streak.

I know I won’t be looking at Skinner after a game like this. And neither would any coach in the League.

This is a game that Stu should be apologizing to his teammates for the turd he laid.

In a game where Bobrovsky was absolutely terrible.

Skinner had to one up him and said "hold my beer"

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Honestly, can't hate that was an entertaining game. Some brutal defensive lapses and Skinner was in shit mode tonight but I was entertained. On to the next one

Really? That game just enraged me. Sutherland can eat a dick

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Does anyone know where the refs leave Rogers Place? I wanna give Kelly Sutherland a christmas card.

 

[DaGap]

If you had Sminner in net you would be too. They just don't have confidence in this guy and how could a team when Skinner is rattled. Count the bad goals tonight. Florida have expected goals of 3, or course turns into 6.

Wait so it was skinner who fell down at the blue line? It was skinner who failed to realize he was the last man back with 3 opposing players?

 

[LTIR]

I mean so did the other guy.....

Not a good reasoning... other guy came out with the W and made the saves that were needed.

 

[JSlick]

that game alone tanked bouchards contract value by half

 

[Senor Catface]

A stinker of a game like this was coming after beating Vegas, Minnesota, and the Lightning. Still not fun to lose against Florida again, but I didn't foresee 3 out of the 4 wins on this stretch.

That being said it will be disappointing to not hit the New Year with at least 22 wins.

 

[foshizzle]

Can anyone tell me why Knob loaded up the first line? They were on the ice for 3 goals against. Stupid decision

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

I am still confused wtf they were going on that thing goal? Did the entire team hallucinate?
