The last 2 games they have scored 8 goals as a team. Meanwhile you keep giving Skinner a pass no matter how much he sucks. That should be 2 W's or at least a win and an OT or SO loss.

Yeah, lets be clear too that the Stars defending with abysmal a lot of the night. blown clears, blown outs, standing around letting Oilers whack at pucks all night around crease. Simply another ugly game from Stars D. We got lots. But a buncha square pegs that don' ever score. The game was there. Dallas just weren't interested in 60mins of work tonight. Could tell from first period. They did bring it in 2nd. Dallas typically try to get by on playing one period. Not sure whats up with that.

Time to recall one of the 2 AHL goalies that we were also too confident in to upgrade on.

I keep saying that Skinner is simply a byproduct of the org not putting in the required effort to address areas of need. They didn't score at all until halfway through the third. I wouldn't get too excited for Pickard either. The last time we got giddy about him the Ducks scored a touchdown.
It's nice they didn't quit but they needed to put at least one past Oettinger earlier on in the game.
Bryan, the Oilers decided that Skinner would be the starter come hell or high water. If Skinner fails, does that not mean the team was wrong to hand him the keys and not insulate him with a better backup?

Debrusk tonight: "well honestly Stu Skinner doesn't want to come out of the cage tonight and its his goal and he's gonna stay in it." (another 4GA in 4mins on 20SOG)
I get almost sick listening to the stupidity. Apparently Skinner owns the Oilers net. he bought it or something. its his to lose no matter what.
This is all so strange. Is the Org TRYING to get us all bent over this?
Teh only person that got Skinner out of the cage was Rantanen. But he's too expensive and we can't have him.
(wouldn't want him, just jk around)

Part of me wants Skinner to just be out and the goaltending to truly blow up in their face. Takes out the Pejorative Slured “duhhh our goalies are good excuse” when it gets questioned because nobody seems to have the wherewithal to ask “what happens if one gets hurt.”
Even if Skinner was a shoe in for the Vezina, not getting a redundancy for injury is flat out inexcusable and fireable for both of them.
(I don’t want this to blow up, by the way, but f*** this is ridiculous).

We’ve wasted a decade of two generational talents with nothing to show for it
This is quite literally our decade of darkness 2.0, just a different kind of pain

Stars are a paper tiger. They don’t scare me. But do the Oilers scare anyone this year? I don’t think Vegas or Colorado would be too worried to play us.

I hate to wish injury on anyone, but I wouldn’t be heartbroken if tonight as the last game Stu played for the team (assuming he’s too injured to start another game this season / postseason)
Well our G isn't near good enough this season. I look forward to the offseason
One of the reasons(excuses) that was trotted out there was we couldn’t upgrade the goalies because what if the new guy gets hurt. I and others pointed out that the same logic applies to our shallow goaltending pool now. Well look where we are now. You can’t make this stuff up.
Kings fans in various places hoping Skinner isn't injured for the playoffs so they can win.
You can't make this shit up. Imagine hoping your biggest rival has to play their starting Goaltender to increase your odds of winning.

I heard he’s a local boy and really good guy in the room. I swear if Skinner was European he would have been kicked to the curb awhile ago.
Also thanks to Bowman for wasting our season. Dude should be fired ASAP before he continues to Chia our team into oblivion

Ludicrous speed, GO!

The play by Steel is a level of brain damage play not seen since that stupid Oiler took a dunce penalty at worst possible moment in the Jets series. Forget who that guy was. The guy that was religiously against Covid shots or something.
If I'm a coach and I see Steele doing that and taking a penalty there that could've been a 2 man down call he's not seeing the ice again. Was a real dumb thing to do. Rookie thing but h'es no rookie.
Oh. Archibald, thats the guy I was thinking of. how to erase your NHl career in easy lessons...

Didn’t oilers hire a world-leading psychologist last year for Skinner?
if he couldn’t fix him, what f***ing chances do we really have

The Oilers also weren't even close to turning things around before McDavid arrived. They were still very much wandering in the desert. Without McDavid Draisatl doesn't blossom into the player he is today. Katz brought in his buddies to run a country club and only decided to "get serious" when he was gifted a generational talent for sucking. A truly unserious org.

Is losing Skinner to injury really a bad thing though? An inanimate carbon rod could be an upgrade at this point
