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.


FLAG ON PLAY

Announcement from the ref

"2 minute penalty to Fixed on Ruin for not mentioning that DD played for both The Preds and Arizona after leaving the oilers and spent 8 games on the farm before heading to the Wild"

DD went to an outside coach before playing for the wild to help sort things out

Wild the Oilers didn’t acquire said coach after that happened.

Massively unfortunately. Our right side is a joke and all 3 (4?) are PK liabilities.

Our PK was garbage before we called Vinny up years ago and only started to turn around then. Back to the gutter now.

Ceci, as bad as he was 5v5, was a pretty good killer too.
The stats don't agree with you.

Emberson and Stecher have by far the best numbers on the PK.

The three worst D on the PK statistically are lefties.

Saying be nice to get a big save means that they think a save was possible, and that Skinner couldn't deliver on that specific goal. That is saying it's his fault. It's pretty basic.

There's nuance there. For me it's not that he absolutely should have saved the goal; that's not a save you expect from your goaltenders.

For me the problem is that all NHL level goaltenders give you saves they're not expected to make sometimes, that's why they're in the NHL. But Skinner never does.

And you can see that bare itself out in the stats. Not only are we bottom five in save percentage and HDSV%, but we are are top two in the league in lowest amount of shots and lowest amount of High Danger chances given up. Yet still, we're below average in goals against.

It's the frustration that we see the other goaltender make a save like that every game against us, yet we never get it. In a vacuum you don't mind the GA, it's just the accumulated amount of other teams getting it and us not getting it.

I get that there's accumulated frustration. I just don't see the value in its omnipresence in a game that we're (now) winning (yay Connor), especially after he actually did make the big save that everyone's clamouring for.
