What person with permanent brain damage is scared of Stuart little on another team llol
Post-Game Talk: Welcome to the Skinner Circus
- Thread starter Oilhawks
- Start date
5 high danger chance for 2 against that third period. (2 goals against)
Game before 1 for 2 against (1 goal against)
Game against the Islanders 7 for 0 against. (3 goals against)
You can’t win games when your goalies are allowing EVERY quality chance in (or more goals than quality chances) in the third period.
Our team is literally elite at quality chance suppression. Like…literally BEST in the league.
You’d say if we as a team is the best at something…the team is probably good at that? Right?

I dunno, after Nurse got hurt I thought they’d be angry. Maybe they were happy to accrue more cap space?

You know, just maybe up 2-1 with 6 minutes left you don’t give up open looks on net. Skinner deserves blame, especially with that awful play in OT, but our coaching staff has no problem with giving up in our end and having any accountability as long as McDrai outscore.

Because I didn't reup with the AHL's new, expensive game provider, I watch a lot less Condors compared to the last couple years. I've only seen one Condors game this year, at my friend's place. From what I saw THAT game, Rodrigue was very good. He looked cool, confident. The opposite of what we saw in preseason.

Disagree. There’s a good chance Pickard stops Knies and/or races out to the puck first before McMann gets there.
Not even going to mention the OT goal where he literally squares up to Bouchard instead of Marner lol.

If we’re so elite on chance suppression why are the vast majority of goals against coming on wide open looks.

No wonder this group is depressed, having had a championship level team with a backup goalie last year. And still have him again this year.

I don’t feel like you have actually ever watched hockey teams play.
Almost EVERY single team in the league, even the good ones, play like that in the third period on the road while up by 1.
ESPECIALLY with a top 4 d down.

There goes the deflecting. I was wondering where you would go this time.

Wtf was Evan doing on that 3rd goal against. That's the type of sht that ends careers and sends players down for life. Gives the puck away in the offensive zone, to a player breaking out, he then STOPS skating and lets Ekholm handle his rudimentary grave mistake while he watches them score like a fan in a seat. Un fcking acceptable. I think the entire league will fully understand a one game healthy scratch. That doesn't belong in the NHL. Absolutely putrid display of NHL level defending by Bouchard, again.
But imo, he'll come around. He always does. He's the type to improve steadily as the season progresses. By playoff time, we'll see the dominant Evan Bouchard again.
But for Stuart Skinner, its time. We need move on from this AHL goaltender. Any other franchise and he's backup at best. That OT goal was just as putrid as Bouch's giveaway. 2 on 1, defender effectively blocks the pass, lets in a standard shot at normal speed in, after his team bailed him out again by tying the game
Personally, im fkn done with Stuart Skinner

Sooner or later a goalie (or any player) has to realize that you can only blame the coach for so long--as for Shcwartz, well blame the organization for not seeking an upgrade.

Remember when Campbell at least went rogue that Minnesota wild game where we stopped playing D. Does skinner have that ability? Even here and there? He made some good saves on Carolina.
I was telling my wife when I seen it was 2-1 with eight min left to look at the score in ten minutes and what do you know lol.

They should be on the phone with Grier tonight. Flip SJ a 3rd and give a 2nd team a 4th for 50% retention and bring in Blackwood at no added cap hit. It's a gamble, but at this point they really only can afford a gamble and he has elite qualities to his game. I remember when a Flames team traded for a highly athletic 27 year old from SJ who hadn't yet established himself as a starter. Worked out pretty good for them.

They don’t try to score? Did they just want to waste five minutes on the power play?
Because no teams are perfect?
You do realize we get wide open looks nightly too right? Even against elite defensive teams right. Sometimes they go in, sometimes Nuge whiffs, sometimes the goalie saves it.
Seems here, it ALWAYS goes in against us. What does that tell you?

Sounds reasonable. It just seems that with Skinner there isn't that cool confidence that you mentioned. Every save seems to be an adventure or a freak out.

Skinner's fat ass made it half way before he realized he wouldnt make it, and then couldnt get back in time.
Skinner should be forced to shave that thing off his lip until he plays better.
Play like a loser, he should look like one too.

Nuge brings nothing. He needs to be off the first unit and off the top six. I would move him if there were any takers
They literally just watched a really scary hit on their friend and were probably worrying about them. That can have a hard effect on people. Or are hockey players robots?
