f*** yes....he has good games bad games

do you even watch the games?
So we want to count eye test, too? Yes I watch the games. Classic comment when someone has nothing to say. Which makes sense as there is literally no defending a goalie like Moustache. Eye test, stats, they all say this guy is NOT average and instead is just lucky he plays behind a world class defensive team. Just his fault that most of the breakdowns end up in his net.

And 2-9 against good teams is average. For a goalie in the Swedish elite league, maybe. That is not average for an NHL goalie. If he played on a worse defensive team he would have washed out of the league entirely.

"world class defensive team" lol
how many breakaways have they given up in the past couple games? but I digress....the stats and the eye test say he's been trending up since December 1st...heck, he was the only reason we got a point against the Wings
 
Is it beyond crazy that people can defend Skinner with a straight face. He is nothing more than a slightly below-average goalie. Literally every stat you can look at shows this to be obviously true. We are bordering on some "1984 newspeak" type shit to argue otherwise.
 
He's a back up goalie. The sooner the Oilers accept and understand that the sooner they will win a Cup. If they want to keep trying to be the smartest bozos in the room they can f*** around and find out the hard way.
 
It’s just a cherry picked stat. Most of those games were early in the year when the team was a disaster in every respect. What even is top 10? Teams fluctuate in and out of top 10 throughout the season. Top 10 when? Today? The time of the game?

It’s weird how the entirety of Stu’s workload is considered “cherry picked” but sample sizes as small as two games are the irrefutable truth. Nothing intellectually dishonest about that.
