Post-Game Talk: Welcome to the Skinner Circus

Somehow the numbers get worse and worse every game.

Leafs only had 8 HDSC btw.

A tough situation but so little room to make a move.

 

[GMofOilers]

That OT goal against was so bad by Skinner. Along the ice to the far post! No NHL goalie is letting that in, how are you 6’4 and losing your angle like that. Brutal game by Bouchard, 4 goals on 22 shots against won’t cut it for skinner.

Worse is 3 of the last 4 shots the Leafs got went in the net lmao

What a fraud

 

[McFlyingV]

Skinner and Bouch the wrong kind of goats tonight.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

The lack of pushback from that Reeves hit I'd concerning

Knobs needs to bench Bouch he cost us the game by making junior lvl mistakes. Skinner can’t make one big save for this team he is not good. Amazing anyone defends him we have a big sample size now.

This team is losing games it has no business losing because of mental mistakes or goaltending.

That was brutal by Bouch

 

[Cloned]

Skinner, Bouchard and…?

Skinner.

 

[K1984]

Two straight games dumb plays at the back blow a lead. Want to blame Skinner, fine, but the goalie isn’t there just to cover for bad defense.

It is once in a blue moon. No team has a goalie that pisses up goals on literally every single mistake in front of him.

This is a dumb hockey team with dumb players that will do dumb things. Adding a random d man isn’t going to change that. They need a goalie to cover up mistakes, and this idiot can’t do it.

 

[FlameChampion]

Lucky to get a point tonight. We didn’t deserve it.

Easy to blame Skinner but he shouldn’t of even played this game. With the way the goaltending is this year, any goalie who posts a 900+ should get the next game. This organization keeps trodding out Skinner no matter how he plays.

This team got outshot on a 5 min powerplay? Pathetic. Team has no killer instinct.

Why this team thinks they can lock it down in the third period and take their foot off the gas, I don’t understand.

Plays like the one Bouchard made are why so many people have problems with him. Just ridiculous.

Feels like the majority of teams have figured out how to play us and beat us. We are so stubborn and stupid that we never do anything else.

Hopefully Nurse is ok.

 

[CycloneSweep]

You know what, Skinner deserves a chance with another goalie coach.

I think that is something we could ALL agree with.

Get him a real goalie coach and see if that helps.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Skinner is absolute trash.

Bouchard needs to move along.

KK is a no accountability shitbag of a coach.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Double edged sword tonight.

On one had the offence needs to figure it out. When was the last time we f***ing scored 4?

On the other, what the f*** is Bouchard doing? And then Skinner doesn’t shit the bed but doesn’t do anything to convince us that he’s not garbage.

 

[Oilhawks]

Is Matt Berlin available? He's probably better, no joke

 

[McHelpus]

Both Skinners are just trash.

 

[Zguy370]

There are what like 26 teams in the AHL, if we trade for say at least half their starting goalies, like for the best 13 of them, they would be our #1 starter compared to this fraud that we have

 

[iCanada]

A tough situation but so little room to make a move.

Well, we might have 9.25 million in cap space to spend after the second period tonight.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Actually yeah he is. That's pretty much literally the job description.

None of the first 3 goals are really on Stu but the team just played yet another game where their goalie couldn't come up a single key stop when that was all they needed to win.

These posts defending skinner be like reading trump supporters on X

 

[TB12]

"And here we are with Bissonnette.."

*click* TV off. Bissonnette is the Stu Skinner of announcers (not a compliment)

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Just hope Nurse is okay.

 

[TheNumber4]

Stopped playing the moment Nurse went down. All the Leaf’s needed to do at that point was bide their time until a mistake happened.

Skinner has been jittery in net all year. He never had atheleticism but atleast could come out as average with his size and position. Now he’s too skittish to make positional saves. His confidence is shot and he overcompensating for his lack of big saves reputation.

 

[McDeepika]

Why are they married to Skinner? What has he done to deserve that loyalty?

They should be brining in a new goalie every month until they find an upgrade.

These good ol' Ontaria boys seem all too happy to have some home cookin' and get cooked by the Laffs. I think they win there more than at home vs the Leafs but either way, it feels like it's an ugly record

Sorry we aren’t allowed to do that.

 

[bellagiobob]

Skinner looked 5'5' on the OT goal. Guy just doesn't come up clutch ever.

Same as Koskinen. We all know what the common denominator for both of them that is still here is. The pictures that guy must have.

 

[MoontoScott]

Sh*tter gifts another... Guy is worse than Jack Campbell now.

It will be interesting at the end of the season for someone to tally up how many nights the Oilers had the better goalie. My guess is less than 10.

Anyway--another strong game from Mc-D. He is quietly piling up the multi-point games.

Thats a little too far.

Skinner isnt that bad.
