Skinner can be great but it's just so streaky. Not a stabilizing force. He'll probably be bad his next game two. Maybe play Pickard a while or get a tandem goalie.

I mean so did the other guy.....
The other guy played better and got a win, got a cup made a save with 10 seconds left that skinner would of been on his back and wide open net 150% of time

I mean there’s a reason not my fault is the worst goalie in the league. Getting outplayed by the backup this year

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.

LOL Drai did it 5 times tonight lmfao

Bobby had some weak moments tonight too but he came up big in the last 2 minutes. Color me frustrated.

Even for Skinner believers, you know the Oilers have to shop for another puck stopper.

Came into this game with confidence. Pucks skills and execution were on point.

Any bit of Florida physicality and pressure and we lost our composure. Snowballed into a clown show of a 3rd.

Bouch playing like he sees train lights in front of him lead to stupidity all night.

Stu didn’t make enough saves. Bu lot had no chance on a lot of those goals. That’s what happens when you got 3 on 1s in your zone.

And that’s game.

Islands in the stream.
Hyman was an absolute warrior tonight. And man, Conner should file a police report for the repeated muggings he took tonight. Referring was terrible.
Shame for Hyman. He was, and coming out in the third. Gotta hurt. He's a warrior. Deserves better than this garbage goaltending throwing another game away. The Oilers were the better team for two periods, Skins kept florida in game first two periods then he was handing out more cookies in the third.

lol that all the Prime games end up looking like garbage. This was not a classic for anybody even remotely familiar with hockey. One of the poorest played games I've seen in awhile. With the worst goaltending.

That was about the Oileriest game Ive ever seen the Oiler Oil.

Big game. Bonehead plays. Surge of dominance. Brutal goaltending. Pissed away lead. Near miss at the end.

I feel like I've watched that exact game three times a year every year since Zdeno Ciger.

He's got 13 points on a 6 game point streak and had 3 assists tonight. McDavid is fine.

What isn't fine is a .785 sv% outing from our .892 sv% "starting" goalie.

Stuart Skinner with an absolute epic choke job again. He's so mentally fragile within games.

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"
Teammates won’t even expect that. Cause teammates and coach will realize how bad they f***ed up in front of him. You’ll hear it in the post game, but will ignore it.

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..
Mc-D needed to step it up tonight too. Too many slick passes that went nowhere.

Believe it or not, there are people who actually believe this goalie (from his entire body of work plus playoffs) can lead us to a cup.

it's fascinating to me. You could physically see with your eyes from the first 10 min he didn't have it tonight. He was lost.

And Bouch was trash tonight. Worse than trash. Ekholm looked like dung too. Still, 6 should not have gone in

And that is the thing, even when the other goalie is trash, Skinner has to One down him lol
