Might want to watch the replay...

Every time I watch it, I see him getting taken to the net and crashing into his own goalie.

 

[William H Bonney]

I don't think goalies have failed continually for them over multiple recent seasons. Unless you're talking about Campbell, who started cratering in the second half of the 21-22 season before he even got to Edmonton.

Skinner has been a fine regular season goalie. Campbell hasn't even been that. Skinner has been an adequate regular season goalie, but for some reason he has played beyond atrocious in the two playoff runs.

40 year old Mike Smith played fine in the 2022 playoffs for Edmonton. And they were an even worse defensive team that year than they are now.

Goalies struggling to transition from regular season to the playoffs can be just as much of an indicator of the team, its quality, and they way they support their goalie as it is an indictment of the individual goalie.

Who the hell cares? None of them care about hockey.

Why is it that the places where people care the most have the least knowledgeable media and most incompetent management? Maybe the fans of those places think they know more than they actually do.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Decision to start Skinner pretty much ended Edmonton's season.

 

[Elysian]

Every time I watch it, I see him getting taken to the net and crashing into his own goalie.

Hes literally pulled down by Nurse's stick over his neck

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Boston Pizza trying to get canadian fans to unite.

The closest you come is all of us cheering for Toronto to be eliminated.

 

[expy]

Tie game!
Close at the blue line tho

 

[66-30-33]

I work with a guy that looks like McDavid, so I always call him Connor.

 

[red devil]

Oilers tie it with a goal from Bouchard

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

WTF

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

????????????????????????

 

[Leonardo87]

Oilers tie, it , wow what a period.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Defense optional.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Momentum is a crazy thing

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Ooooof

 

[William H Bonney]

You hate to see it

 

[Summer Rose]

Well, we most certainly have a game now.

 

[Bleedred]

Goalies struggling to transition from regular season to the playoffs can be just as much of an indicator of the team, its quality, and they way they support their goalie.

Skinner's expected save percentage is pretty low these playoffs. It's not like Edmonton is playing really good for him, but he's still playing below expected.

He's probably not playing much worse than 2022 Kuemper relative to expected, but Colorado was bulldozing everybody that year. Including Edmonton.

 

[rynryn]

thank you baby jesus.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Lol pretty obvious hook that led to the goal

 

[Bruce Granville]

tackle your own goalie, Ryan Suter.

…is all he caught…
Otter otoh, doesn‘t catch more…

 

[Cloned]

Teams should decline the 2 goal lead these days

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Bouchard is Fiyah!

 

[Czechboy]

Well, not losing is like winning!

Bouch!

 

[Turin]

Dallas should avoid early leads because they go full Pejorative Slur on defense when they get them
