But seriously, California Closets should know that being associated with this guy could legitimately hurt their bottom line.
Kuemper is a system goalie that got beat mostly by elite level plays. If we had Kuemper we win the cup. If LA had Stu we win this game 7-1.As bad as Skinner is, Kemper isn't much better.
Couple of years ago when Edmonton got swept by the Aves on their track to a cup win, Kuemper getting injured basically put the series out of reach for Edmonton because the backup could actually stop pucks and shut down the Oiler's offense. Seeing that a bit here as well, if Edmonton starts playing with a high level of intensity for more than just 1/3 of the game(when they're already down), they'll find that they can score at will against Kuemp in the same way they did against Korpisalo, Talbot, and Quick.
Overall I see the game as a positive. We cracked open their vaulted defense and their goalie. They won on a fluke. We'll be better next game.
He didn't see it so not my fault Skinner is absolved on all grounds of letting in a *shot* that was going 5miles an hour. Too ridiculous to even talk about but here we are a year later with the same f***ing goof in our net in the playoffs. I can't stand him.When did Bouchard get traded to the Kings?
That last goal. Skinner. Oof!!! Is there another goalie in the league that lets in that shot?
Pickard isn’t going look like an all star and probably not going to stand on his head but he’s not going to give up such awful goals and at least get in position to make a save. He’s also all we got after that pathetic display so it behooves the skaters to help him out more and stop giving up on plays and get in there and tie up a guy.
Play like the they did in the 3rd and we will win 4 straight.
Delia needs to be recalled and Pickard needs the next start.This game has such a negative impact on our whole playoffs.
There is zero chance the boys in the room can have ANY belief in Skinner. At all.
The way McDavid reacted to that goal, Skinner shouldn’t be allowed in the locker room.
Nah bro, he froze and statued because he couldn’t track the puck.Hear me out carefully. I don't blame Skinner on that last goal. It was a fluke shot when considering flub shot combined with the screen. He never would have expected it to be that kind of shot. That said, it is totally his fault for that shot to even matter. I totally blame him for 2 or 3 goals, with help from Bouchard. Skinner made that last shot matter.
I haven't seen a single second of this game yet, but I saw the 4-0 score after two, and then checked back just now to see the Oilers tied it (WTF?) and then lost it in the final minute.
I am absolutely stunned that they kept Skinner in for the third. For the love of all that's holy, WHY? Neither goalie is world class. If one is having an off night and fighting it, why not put the other guy in to try to save the game? Why, Oilers?
Lmao @ people in GDT telling me to “use my eyes” and defending Stu. Any other goalie in the league wins us this game.
Maybe but got to outscore Bouch gimmes and Skinner whiffs.Play like the they did in the 3rd and we will win 4 straight.

He flat out sucks. He can shoot it hard but can't aim for shit, can't win board battles and flat out sucks. Sit his ass and play Philp or Savoie in his spot.Arvidsson really frustrated me in this game. At this point I have no idea what that guy supposedly brings to the table.
If he starts game 2 I’m turning off the TV. Knob has his favorites but come on.If he plays game 2, we just need to be destroyed. I think these morons are licking their lips wanting to sign this fat sloth to a multi year deal. Just ruin his phsyche and shit kick for 7 more goals
