[Fixed to Ruin]

Nice save

 

[K1984]

McDavid has to stop these stupid passes. Enough now for Christ sakes.

 

[tardigrade81]

Nice save

Wish he did these more often

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Nice save

A real starter would have saved it better.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Knee-lander sucks lol

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

He does.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

A real starter would have saved it better.

People have to be on glue to act like people only pick on one goal here or there. It is the summation of his performances over 2 years

Is that hard to understand for people. He could look like Hasek tonight. Just get him the f*** outta Edmonton

 

[ChasinWaterfalls]

The over the top hyperbole and hate for skinner is insane. No matter what happens some here just default blame him. He hasn't been great this year but not every single goal is solely his fault. Come on.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Might be the most intense and fast 1st period this season

 

[OilerTyler]

lol at the commentary talking about Draisaitl getting an extra shift on the 4th line when those are his regular wingers

 

[unicornBLOOD]

Toronto players look faster and more determined so far.

This is exactly it.

It comes from seeing with our eyes that he is not going to magically turn into a top 10 goalie. His mechanics are not there. With that baseline to begin with, that is why you see doom and gloom. There is no "HOPE" or light at the end of the tunnel with this guy. I just want to see it end this year. Maybe we can win a cup. He is passed the point of "he can turn it around". He is a beer leaguer one day, average another, above average another

Sorry, you're right, we should be thrilled our starter ranks 72nd in metrics like save percentage and goals saved above expected.

 

[tardigrade81]

He does.

He's pretty horrible. Doesnt do it near enough

 

[CanadasTeam99]

I watch a lot of their games in the background. They usually always work pretty hard. Harde r than us in longer spurts when I compare the two.

 

[unicornBLOOD]

I don't blame Skinner for the goal, but stats don't lie, he's had a brutal start to the season.

 

[OilerTyler]

Skinner has been bad. No one is disputing that. It's just tiring when people flood this thread to blame every single goal against on him. Sometimes there is nothing a goalie can do.

Awesome. But people are specifically picking on a play where he did make a good save, and can't articulate how he could have played the second chance better.

You're right - he's not a quality starter, but screaming "MAKE A SAVE" makes supposedly learned hockey fans sound like morons.

 

[ChasinWaterfalls]

Sorry, you're right, we should be thrilled our starter ranks 72nd in metrics like save percentage and goals saved above expected.

No one said that, at all. But sure just keep being outraged for the sake of being outraged.

The haters are the ones who are hard to understand. He went to game 7 if the finals.

His numbers are in par with all the other goalies in his draft class.

We ran Dubnyk out if town just for him to be a Vezina finalist the next season. Everyone needs to relax.

 

[Jumptheshark]

just for you Swiftys she can get into the rock and roll hall of fame in 6 years time

 

[Kerberos]

Nuge just seems to be getting worse and worse.

And Hyman. Both of them are horrendous.

Hey that's fair, I appreciate your opinion. But like it or not were stuck with him for now, and its a team game. He shares blame, but not sole blame.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Pooshart and having his shot blocked. Name a more iconic duo.
