Yeah, first line has been mediocre again to start. They've also been hemmed in their own zone on a couple of shifts. Like play with some fire, where is that killer instinct?

This is where we see what McDavid and Drai have deep down in that belly

 

[Messrules11]

Sorry as a former goalie, current scout and Skinner apologist, that’s goal is 100 percent on Skinner.

There’s literally no one else you can blame

 

[TheNumber4]

Goalies do go for the puck. Most of them actually watch the puck go around to ensure its going where they expect. Skinner did not. By the time Skinner realized the bounce it was too late, and he was slow reacting to that. He looked lackadaisical on the play. Another lost concentration moment.

Yeh he timed that wrong. And you sitting in your couch knew exactly how fast that puck was going and where it was going.

His leg could have been behind his head. It matters where the contact is. If someone has their stick up and hits someone with their shoulder, it's not high sticking.

Contact was with the leg. I’m sorry that you don’t understand the game.

“Tripping is where a player places their stick or body in such a way that causes an opposing player to trip or fall. ”

But hey he only stuck his leg out according to you lol.

Hip/pelvis is not leg. You're trying way too hard to miss key pieces of information.

Since game 3 Skinner has stopped 69/71 shots, but f*** him, am I understanding this all?

Pickard would have used his force powers to prevent that unlucky bounce, to be fair.

Players can make mistakes and be called out on the mistakes. Skinner has been good the past couple games. If he stayed in the net it would be 1-0. These braincramp mistakes have killed us in the recent playoff years.

Come out flying here and play with some urgency and oh shoot more!

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Let this pp rip fellas.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Oilers aren’t creating anything- they aren’t even trying to

Which is a major problem. Have them on the ropes and can eliminate them. Where’s the killer instinct?

 

[Drivesaitl]

Yeh he timed that wrong. And you sitting in your coach knew exactly how fast that puck was going and where it was going.

Its OK to have a different opinion. Skinner wasn't watching the puck round the boards and I don't think thought it threw that it could hit a stanchion. Is what it is.

 

[yukoner88]

Have they ever even once?

They gush for the Kings the same way Bob Stauffer gushed for Royal Pizzas Mediterranean chicken pizza

 

[nabob]

Hip/pelvis is not leg. You're trying way too hard to miss key pieces of information.

Except that he stuck out his leg. Which is the most inportmant piece of info.

You’re just super infatuated with Doughty’s pelvis. At least that we can agree on.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Contact was with the leg. I’m sorry that you don’t understand the game.

I'm sorry you don't understand anatomy. Now, can we just shake feet and enjoy the game?

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Show me a single clip of Skinner ever doing that and I'll shut up. I'll wait as you bypass this post

5:42 not the same shot but similar idea and situation.

 

[oobga]

Can barely make a pass

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Would rather nuge shoot there

Yeh he can’t stop a puck behind the net AND also be in front of the net for a fluke bounce off the stantion. It’s a ridiculous take imo. But sure agree to disagree.

 

[yukoner88]

There's a lot of pelvis talk

 

[nabob]

Keep gushing about Doughty’s ability to hit men with his pelvis

 

[DrDrai]

Now do the same play but go back door or slot

 

[yukoner88]

Keep gushing about Doughty’s ability to hit men with his pelvis

Perfect timing lol

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

There's a lot of pelvis talk

Judging by the ratings, maybe not enough.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Disappointing pp

 

[oobga]

Nuge. Get your butt out of the way. That Bouch shot was going in I think hehe
