This board need a special chatroom for the 6 posters that still want to believe in Stuart Skinner.

Skinner is just a microcosm of the worst management in the league.

Rollie was injured in game 1. We lose that series, and game 1 only because Rollie was out and we back to Markannen/Conklin hell.

That team wasn't even going to get to playoffs without a goaltending change.

It doesn't matter anymore. I'm just bummed about the TDL, but I do remember him blowing a 3-0 lead that game.

 

[soothsayer]

Yup Roli was awesome during the Playoffs
But he had an awful 3rd…that’s all I’m saying
He contributed to us losing the Cup,
TIL being up 3-0 only to be down 4-3 isn’t a choke

TIL the Stanley Cup Final is a best of 1 series.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Alright thats enough interacting with you for at least a lifetime.

Take off the Homer goggles. Mackinnon WAS better than McD and has been this season and last regular season. It just is the case.

Canada doesn't even get out of game 1 win against Sweden the way McD was slow arriving in the tournament. As it was Canada needed OT W's in two of the games. Kinda reminded me of the Oilers except we had a goalie. The only reason Canada won.

f*** MAB forever.
That being said, I’d take Roli over Skinner. Hell, I’d want Roli to coach Skinner since Schwartz is a f***ing moron

Well, lol who wouldn't take Roli over Skinner:

A) Stuart .901 Playoff Goalie Skinner:

B) Dwayne .927 Playoff Run Goalie Roloson

 

[McShogun99]

Sigh.

I remember the days when we got zero offence from our centers instead.

Im still rooting for Skinner 1000% and I think he could be good or bad come playoff time. Theres no certainty either way. It’s far from ideal, but I still would have believed in beefing up the D in front of him while his contract is affordable to try to win that way. Anyhow, we didn’t upgrade the defensive D or the G so it’s hard to be optimistic — we literally just need to bank on Skinner going hot. It has happened. Not what you want to be banking on, but I am rooting for it.

Yeah we don't stand a f***ing chance. Some absolutely disgusting lineups and then there's... us. That Dallas top 9 might be the best of the cap era.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Welp, no goalie acquired so no point in watching. See you folks in the offseason

Have a good one, we'll regale you with tales of Walman at the draft

The other poster was, and is still maintaining Rollie was the reason the Oilers lost the SC Final SERIES. Apparently it was Rolis fault when he was in hospital with a season ending injury after only playing part of game 1 in the series.

Sorry you got in the crossfire of that.

 

[Messrules11]

Boy have you ever lost the plot. Embarrassing.

That guy can’t be from St. Albert, has to be a Flamer

 

[McFlyingV]

Henrique? He has played 3 times in the playoffs in 11/12 when he was 22, 13 years ago, in 17/18 where he did literally nothing and last year where he put up 7 points.

Kulak and Ekholm are mostly good.
None of that is guys really elevating their game.

Henrique was solid as a rookie, scored some timely goals last year despite playing through a high ankle sprain as a guy who already had limited wheels. Lets not act like Henrique didn't have a solid playoffs on the 3rd line. Would you not say Peca had a great playoffs in 2006 despite 11P in 24 games compared to 7P in 17 games for Henrique?

I can't believe you even tried to glaze over Kane's 2021-22 playoffs or Hyman's 3 playoff runs here. Hyman has 30 goals and 49 points in the last 3 playoff runs. Like what more do you want?

I mean best to just throw in the towel and come back at the draft upset about the not winning previously expected.

I mean you are not entirely wrong here, but you can also add that management to the Skinner Hype Thread

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

You can back track but doesn’t change what you said b

You’re trying to tie what I said about Roli to Skinner for some strange reason
The derangement syndrome is real

None of those guys elevated their games like you said. That was the thing, guys who elevates their games. Outside of McDrai and Bouchard pretty much everyone else still here trucks on at the same level or less. Outside of that one Calgary series for Kane

Yeah, and with the way our goalies have played especially against playoff calibre teams, it’s a major concern. We still have McDrai, and perhaps any of the other forwards can heat up, but a lot rides on Skinner and I have no confidence he’s up for it.

 

[McFlyingV]

I didn't even begin to claim otherwise, but that entire argument of McDavid being "awful" or "looking at greener pasteurs" was some of the most idiotic shit I have ever read.

McDavid was very good in the game against Sweden so I really don't know what you're talking about. In a short tournament where chemistry was obviously lacking and in a tournament where we haven't had ideas of what lines might work due to 10 years of no best on best that's understandable. McDavid came out flying in game 1 and created chances almost every single shift.

Who was the better player in the playoffs last year, remind me?

You only show up to cry when you remember ways to blame literally everyone except our current goalies for losses.

Hyman scoring 11 in 16 and 16 in 25 isn't elevating his game? Good grief you're a hard marker.

Seemed like a lot more earlier in the day. Just ask the absolute donkey-brain who several pages ago told me "to read the room."

They come out of hiding on days like today to call us "too negative," and then crawl right back into Stan's gaping butthole when we're proven right yet again.
