Post-Game Talk: Welcome to the Skinner Circus

[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

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.

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

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.

 

[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.

 

[MoontoScott]

.818

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

 

[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.
