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

[K1984]

Either way 6th isn’t good enough either. We should be the top scoring team or damn close to it.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we started scoring when way more pucks got sent to the net with way more urgency.

Unfortunately we categorically refuse to play that way unless we absolutely have to.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

On the flip side we win both his last starts if we could shoot even at 8 or 9%. We scored 5 goals on 95 shots the last 2 games for 5.26 shooting%

Why is that totally acceptable but Skinners play is not?

You’re not going to get 8 or 9% scoring every night. Tonight 3 goals would have been enough to win if he didn’t let in 4 shit ones.

 

[Soundwave]

The same media that has it out for Bouchard every night has absolutely nothing to say about Skinner. Never change Oilers MSM.

Edmonton media won't touch this with a 50 foot pole, lol.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Your argument that Skinner is fine is that Bobrovsky shut out the Oilers stars. Well done. Has anyone won a cup with a goalie who had a .901 % btw?

so their highest paid players did their job in the Cup finals?


must be nice

The team has a terrible habit of not playing close to their potential until their backs are against the wall. Whether it’s within an individual game or a macro situation like a playoffs series. They always have to put themselves behind the 8 ball before they get going.

 

[Oilhawks]

if the Oilers score 2 goals in Game 2, they win in 5...instead they decided not to score more than 1 goal in 2 games cause "scoring is too hard against Bob!"

see, I can play that game too

Nah. You're arguing against guys that were doing HOF shit in other rounds and were clearly playing injured.

You know, actual elite, franchise players, just to prop up some mediocre goalie. It's mindboggling stuff

Bob is inconsistent but there's a reason he got paid and Stu Skinner will be lucky to get a raise (aside from if this idiot org keeps him because they're nice and will pay him more just because), Bob is an actual elite goalie, Skinner is not.

Sounds like the same refs who did the KC-Bills game did this one.

“Because the Oilers scored with a delayed call, that negated the delayed penalty, but because it was reviewed and then called no-goal, the original call on the ice was a goal, which still negates the original delayed penalty call. Because the Leafs won the goal challenge, that would have also negated the penalty.”
-the National Horseshit League explanation, probably

I just rewatched the sequence…Chris Cuthbert says “penalty coming up… or is there?… Oilers just pulled the goalie”.

No refs hands went up.. Cuthbert just sucks.

must be nice

And the game winning goal was a muffin that should have never gone in. If you think the Oilers are going to repeat last playoffs with a .901% percentage and win, I've got some shit coins to sell you.

 

[iCanada]

Ouch.

Woll>>>Skinner.

 

[MessierII]

You’re not going to get 8 or 9% scoring every night. Tonight 3 goals would have been enough to win if he didn’t let in 4 shit ones.

If you’re pumping 47 shots 3 goals isn’t good though. 0-2 on the PP while they go 2-0. We actually lost this one on the special teams battle which again should be our calling card.

 

[Canovin]

I’m surprised no one mentioned Knob cost us the game as well. Not pulling Skinner after the third goal is gen Z don’t hurt feelings type coaching

 

[Oilhawks]

The same media that has it out for Bouchard every night has absolutely nothing to say about Skinner. Never change Oilers MSM.

Pathetic, water-carrying cuck media

The only thing I can think of at this point is they got a memo saying that goaltending is off limits

 

[Soundwave]

NHL should fine these fancy schmancy top 10 teams, this is bullshit, didn't they get the memo that Skinner is a .920 goalie? Outrageous.

 

[CROTT]

Is there any websites out there that breakdown SV% by period?

I'd be curious to see what Skinner's 1st period SV% is.

I'm interested as well, though like I can't deny Skinner should be better on some nights, it can't be denied that the rest of the team comes out flat to start a lot of games.

 

[iCanada]

It's crazy that it seems like only fans online see an issue in net

Like really. Most pundits will say we need that RD, but it's not like Stecher has been awful. Our standard is to win the cup. Being good for streaks of time isn't going to cut it when it comes to the one player who plays the whole game

Everyone outside the market seems to get it, too.

Particularly the advanced stats guys.

 

[MessierII]

And the game winning goal was a muffin that should have never gone in. If you think the Oilers are going to repeat last playoffs with a .901% percentage and win, I've got some shit coins to sell you.

The game winning goal was a 59 goal scorer allowed to walk in below the hash marks and pick his spot. lol a muffin really?

This shit needs to be pinned in every GDT that Stewy starts in

f*** this fraud

This team has a problem in net.

And in top six.

He turns it on to an 894 in the playoffs. Don’t worry.

Can you answer that poster’s comment about save percentage or no?

scored a 57-goal scorer

I guess it was too hard for our 50 goal scorers to score in that series?

 

[TheLegend27]

Trade for Vejmelka or Gibson.
The Oilers cannot afford to go through another post season with Skinner playing Jekyll and Hyde. Enough is enough already.

There’s no excuse now. Kane on LTIR gives us cap space, and we know anyone we draft with our first round picks won’t be NHL ready in time to help us in our current window.

well no shit

just look at their salaries

Game 7 of the stanley cup finals, a weak wrist shot goes in on the short side from the top of the circle. Yeah, that's a muffin. Are you kidding me?
