Post-Game Talk: Welcome to the Skinner Circus

[rickysusedsht]

Ffs get a goalie
..your killing this team

 

[McBigYak]

I've defended Skinner.... But this is getting pretty ugly.

Edmonton needs a goalie.

 

[McShogun99]

Just run with Pickard for a few games to give Skinner a chance to reset.

 

[Garbo Man]

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

He didn't even attempt to make a save there. Bouchard had the pass completely blocked off. What the f*** else could Marner have done but shoot the puck there. Second best goalie AGAIN tonight.

 

[Cloned]

No mas Senor Skinner por favor

 

[VeteranPresence]

This loss is squarely on Knoblauch trying to be the smartest coach in the room by moving away from Pickard so quickly. What a joke. He owes everyone- especially Calvin- an apology.

How long before he loses the room for failing to hold Skinner, Nuge and Bouchard accountable for their bullshit play? I can’t even blame the guys for burning another coach in the face of such stupidity. Knoblauch is doing this to himself.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Best goalie in McD era has been 16-17 Talbot and 38 y/o geriatric Mike Smith.

I'd call Koskinen

 

[McTedi]

Get a goalie please. Could forgive Skinner on the tying goal but not the other 2, have to make a save occasionally.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Just threw that game away. Putrid effort after Nurse got hurt. Got what they deserved. f***ing idiots.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Oilers Nation Jokes: We should sign Skinner to Oettinger contract hurr durr, consistent 900 goaltending.

Jesus Christ.

Wasn’t all his fault for the loss, Bouchard messed up…..that last goal though was all Skinner.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Stuart skinner and a 0.900 mesh as well as Mike Tyson going to a KKK meeting

 

[oXo Cube]

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.

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.

 

[Messrules11]

Management just can’t be serious when Skinner is supposed to be a starter. And then there’s Bouchard, what a f***ing joke this guy is.

 

[Oilhawks]

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.

Maybe one day the defense will have a 1 HDSA game and he can make that save and look like a hero with a shutout

Skinner sucks. Worst starter in the league

 

[5 14 6 1]

Time to look for a goalie

Jesus Christ.

If Pickard started I bet we win 2-1.

 

[bellagiobob]

Pretty much the last three shots went in on Skinner. Basically unplayable at this point. Another pissed away game that was in the bag. Hopefully somebody with some balls in management is paying attention.

 

[Shizuka]

A sickening hit by sub-human trash who shouldn't have found any traction on any NHL roster, and we lose Nurse who has just started to play much better with Kulak. Bouchard, not only causing one goal by serving up a f***ing pizza up the middle, but then literally hits the blue line and then proceeds to stop f***ing skating when he was within a stride or two of stick length's reach on the 3rd go ahead goal. And then finally, Skinner had a clear f***ing view of that shot... and instead of using his f***ing right leg to extend, tries to dip down with his damn blocker.

Well done, and now we wait on hearing how bad it is for Nurse. Can't help but be extremely concerned for him still.

 

[Jarvi]

They need to trade for a tender. Skinner needs some time as a light workload backup, and Pickard is not a starter in any scenario.

Hope Nurse is ok. I've been his biggest critic, but this year and especially of late he has looked really good. Terrible hit, he looked absolutely rocked there.

 

[nexttothemoon]

87.66% for Skinner now... 1985 called and they want their mediocre goalie back.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

At least Bouchard has games where he does his job.

Skinner, every game

True, but Bouch needs to be way better than that. Every f***up ends up in the back of our net.

 

[iCanada]

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

Listen, when you're that deep in the net, it's hard to cover the entire net.



Impressive how bad his positioning and reads are.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

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

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

He didn't even attempt to make a save there. Bouchard had the pass completely blocked off. What the f*** else could Marner have done but shoot the puck there. Second best goalie AGAIN tonight.

Bouchard played it well.

 

[Duke74]

Not often you lose a game because of three players but here we are.

Skinner, Bouchard and…?
