Player Discussion Stuart Skinner

[jitterbug]

terrible goalie. it's an atrocity that he is anywhere near the net in a cup final

I loved the story, and the guy seems pretty great, but he has no future in Edmonton. I wish him the best wherever he ends up

He ends up back in Edmonton lol

So its got to this point. I've followed the club, watched the games, gone to games since 1972. If Stu Skinner is again our #1 goalie next season I'm done. I'm not even watching. So f***ing done with this clown in net. I find watching him frustrating at this point. If the org continues to see this as the #1 guy than I don't see a lot of hope for the team.

I wonder how many of the players feel this way.

For the last three years my only HFBoards contributions have been to call out this scrub goalie Stuart Skinner for what he is. Countless times Oil fans have come to his defense. Search my post history. I said it three years ago I'll say it again the Oilers will never win the Cup as long as they keep this bum. He can't skate, he can't read plays, he overplays situations leaving the net empty, he gives up soft team deflating goals and is overall the exact opposite of a playoff money goalie who elevates his play when the stakes are high. He is one (if not the) of the worst playoff goalies of all time and everyone associated with him keeping his job should be fired. If he continues to play for the Oilers you guys can write next season off right now.

Ever since I first saw him play I've been expecting him to fail in the most spectacular way possible, flopping around like a fish, staring at the sky. The only surprise has been to see so many Oilers staff and fans support him through his failures for no reason whatsoever. The man accepts no responsibility and isn't even trying to improve his game. The franchise deserves all of the recent disappointment for allowing this debacle to continue and fester.
