Post-Game Talk: This team has a problem in net

[Soundwave]

Yes we lost but when you consider Stu is only paid 2.6 million it’s basically a win

- Skinner fans probably

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Dudes like an inch offside in his second game back.

We will literally blame anyone before we blame the goalie.

2 games in 14 months these posters are crazy

 

[Oilhawks]

Skinjob is going to cost them the division, let alone another Cup

 

[RipsADrive]

Team is in a bit of a slump right now. For once the midseason break is coming at a good time.

Can't spot a team a 3-0 lead 10 minutes in. Good comeback attempt though

 

[MessierII]

Last 2 games we have put up 47 and 48 shots and lost BOTH fking games.

Wake the fk up management. Fix the problem

So 5 goals on 95 shots. Is that a goaltending issue as well? What’s the shooting % there?

 

[Stoneman89]

Wonder if McDavid will go into the dressing room and scream at everyone tonight, He might want to look into the mirror first.

Skinner sucked, but we absolutely choked with 47 shots - pathetic.

Oh well, on to the next one!

 

[TheLegend27]

Imagine blowing McDavids and Drai’s cup window because your goalie is immovable regardless of performance because he’s a ‘hometown guy’ and ‘is a nice person’.

Yes we lost but when you consider Stu is only paid 2.6 million it’s basically a win

Nope that argument only applied to one game, you can’t bring it up ever again!

 

[Ritchie Valens]

f*** Stuart Skinner.

That is all.

 

[K1984]

Now that one was 100% no doubt about it solely on Skinner and not a single other player on the team.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

A consistent goaltender, and another top 4 defenseman. That's the need.

Skinner is pretty consistent if you ask me...

 

[Pip]

A consistent goaltender, and another top 4 defenseman. That's the need.

If they can get a top 4 d that’s great but not an absolute need. A goalie is by far the most important piece needed.

 

[Ibanez]

Only a few more games to the four nations circus show. Nice little break from hockey for me. Could give me incentive to take a longer break. Team is obviously doing well this year. But these efforts lately mixed with nights of bad goaltending like tonight are not fun to watch

 

[nabob]

Scoring chances ratio was probably 8:1. Switching goalies and we win 8-2.

Crazy that whats called a slash in the first happened 40 times. But was only called once.

Leafs got away with at least 5 blatant penalties in the last 5 minutes including the dive at McDavid’s legs on a partial breakaway.

 

[AM]

The offside challenge needs to be taken out of the game. We're the only professional sports league that tries to take offense away. If you need to go over a play and look at it in hundreds of a second frames, maybe you've lost the plot.

Only against certain teams.

 

[VainGretzky]

F Skinner that is all

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Hey look his friend/family member showed up.

Management is bad but nobody calls it out.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

"The machine of hockey has stripped us of our primal instincts, reducing us to mere algorithms in pads, and I, Stuart Skinner, am its tragic byproduct—awful not by choice, but by design."

 

[McDrai]

I swear that Bobby McMann scores every time we face them. Should have put money on it. Also, we need a damn goalie

 

[CROTT]

So 5 goals on 95 shots. Is that a goaltending issue as well? What’s the shooting % there?

Agreed, I don't see how every thing is Skinners fault 100% of the time. They can't clear the front of the net at all either.

 

[I am the Liquor]

To me there were 2 main reasons they lost this game

1- Skinner
2- McDavid not shooting the puck

McDavid had 9 sog, more than any other Oiler

 

[Heavy Dee]

A consistent goaltender, and another top 4 defenseman. That's the need.

I think Klingberg is fine. Get a damn goalie

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

I’m over the klingberg experiment already.

You have to more patience then that and I'll say the fact that pretty much every pass he makes is tape to tape is appreciated.

 

[Uindicator]

We could have had Askirov if management had any brains , f***

 

[bellagiobob]

One egregious missed offside on Duchene and we are stuck with this stupid challenge rule years later.
