Post-Game Talk: Stupendous Stu offsets the broken Hyman

After how much I’ve raged about Skinner, I don’t know if I can even allow myself to feel happy for him.

I know I’m going to get a lot of flak for saying this, but I still think his success is due more to how the Oilers have to play in front of him than any natural God-given talent.

I’m enjoying the ride but with Skinner I’m trying not to feel like “waiting for the show to drop” - I can’t help it.
 
It’s mind blowing that in the third period with the Oilers already up 2-1 in the game and the series, they outshot the Stars 13-4.

That’s actually insane and something you basically never see at this level in games between two good teams.
The Oilers are among the cream of the crop it took a very long time but we are the team to beat. They have done everything but Win a cup and that looks like it’s about to change soon. Nothing this team does be it good or bad surprises me anymore. When you can be dead and buried 2 times, once in December and once in the finals. And manage to somehow claw back to within goal of a Stanley cup, nothing that happens after that surprises me.

Nah, he looks like an actual goalie now and is making reflex and desperation saves that he never used to make.
 
Great win!

Sadly, not expecting any good news about Hyman. Couldn't help but be reminded of the times Hemsky would head down the tunnel hunched over with his arm limp like that.

Edit: Just seeing the wrist reports. Surprised since I was sure it was shoulder, but bad news regardless.

I don’t think there is a user I dislike on this board more then MetalheadPenguinsFan

It’s intetesting how McDavid broke some Pens fans minds around here. Daver in particular should be studied in a psych class.

When McDavid has his Cup, I expect NOTHING less from Oilers fans than a picture of McDavid lifting the Cup to every criticism. “Ohh he hasn’t won! He hasn’t won!”

That’s all they have to left to say, and when that’s taken from away from them I want every Oilers fan rubbing their noses in it HARD
