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

[Ritchie Valens]

4 Goals allowed on 28 shots.
Terrible rebound control all night. One bad game right? Everyone has a bad game. No big deal.
56th in overall Goals saved above expected
27th (out of 31) in Goals saved above expected in goalies with minimum 25 games played.
The stats coming out on how he plays against top 10 teams in the league?

Yes we made it to game 7 of the cup finals. But he didn't win us a single series. And although I don't blame the game 7 loss on him, the cup winning goal is one he should have had. The fact we went down 0-3 with him sporting a .882, .893 and .826. I get it, the team didn't play well in games 1 and 2. Game three though? How many times do we just need "one more save".

You can't logically defend the guy. I like him, but he can't be "our guy". He just isn't good enough.

I disagree there. Bobrovsky stole that one. Edmonton should have had at least 5 on him in game 1.

The facts are that it took Herculean efforts from the best players on the planet to drag limp dick Skinner's sorry corpse to the finals. So ya, I don't hang any of it on guys that did shit that hasn't been done since the 80's. You can keep sticking up for a true NPC type goalie because you think he's cute with his lil' moustache.

Critiquing McDrai to stick up for Moustache is some of the dumbest shit ever to be written on the internet. Type of guys that make fun of Cindy Crawford's mole while sitting at home with their 220 lb linebacker of a wife.

you are so unhinged lol no wonder you lost your likes

saying McDavid and Draisaitl went goalless in Games 6 and 7 is a fact...cry all you won't but it doesn't change that fact
saying Skinner let in 3 goals in the final 2 games is also fact, despite your whining

calling Skinner average and "We can win with him" is also fact....we did it last year, there's no reason we cant this year
if that's "sticking up for him" than yes I am

Forget it, the team would be 96-0 this year if skinner wasn’t here. Nobody else on the team is ever at fault. Once Skinner f***s off this board will resemble Seattles.

All it took was EPIC scoring that was legit historic and hasn't been done in decades. If McDrai and Bouchard don't do things that are literally almost unheard of then they probably don't even get past the Cucks, due to Skinner's below average and sometimes downright awful tending. That's the facts. I'd rather we not bank on HISTORIC scoring just to make the finals because this goalie trends between OK and downright unplayable.

I will keep slamming you when you put down 2 future HOF'ers to defend a goalie that would be playing in Switzerland if it wasn't for this teams defensive structure.

 

[brentashton]

Tony Brar basically, accidentally, confirmed McDavid is sick, it's why he's not at the Oilers' skills

I’m hoping he goes to the 4 nations and infects every VGK, COL, and western team player in that dressing room.

Stupid tournament.

I highly doubt that. Once skinner f***s off, most people will be vindicated and a few of you will be butthurt even more.

Keep trusting management. It’s worked out so well in the McDavid era.

They didn't win. They lost. And I think them making it back to the finals and winning with a .901 sv% is very unlikely.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Holy f*** man. Just stop. Get help. Absolute clown takes. Full stop.

It’s not rocket surgery the offense flows through McDavid & Drai. Maurice built a plan to neutralize McDavid when the Jets swept the Oilers and did it again with Florida. How someone is pinning the cup loss on McDavid is lunacy.

Largely because of him and Draisatl. The rest of the team is as average as it gets. There’s a reason we always lose when they don’t play well.

they are partly to blame, they carry the offense...the secondary scoring stepped BIG TIME in Game 6

also...if you were told the Oilers would only give up 3 goals TOTAL in games 6 & 7, you would think the Oilers would win the Cup with McDavid and Draisaitl on our team

 

[McTonyBrar]

Problem in net and the defence was complete shyte without Ekholm.

Klingberg played a lot but his rust held him back in the D zone

 

[nturn06]

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.

I don't think that trading for a Goalie who was .895% in the last two seasons is the answer. Especially when every single goalie who comes to Edmonton has his numbers plummet.

It's crazy we have posters here that will bat for Skinner thick and thin. All the while, completely fine shitting on the 2 players that literally carry this team

I want to win a Cup and I fully believe with even halfway decent management we are there. Instead because Hollands “solution” in net was so abysmal we are stuck with Skinner. And current management doesn’t seem intent on upgrading on him. So it is what it is.

Who knows. Like this was a goalie who was so bad, despite the team's 16 game winning streak last year, still couldn't break 900 save until super late in the season. Some of us were even just hoping he'd be able to save at least the first 5 shots of every game and even that was a tall task

He's just trash and not good enough.

This team is utterly f*cked without Ekholm over the long term.

 

[bellagiobob]

Really wish that him and Ekholm would skip this stupid tourney, but I know that won’t happen. Sounds like a real nasty bug that’s going thru the team.
