Post-Game Talk: Welcome to the Skinner Circus

[TB12]

I've heard goalies make saves on bad turnovers from time to time. Not here, though.

We don't do that around here, son.

-Schwartz to Skinner

 

[GMofOilers]

Yet they still blew a lead late in the game.....4 of the last 5 games....regardless of which goalie is in

Your boy is the worst in the league

 

[JeffSkinner53]

The problem is as soon as other teams push on Skinner he lets in easy goals. That's why they can't hold leads, you gotta help the team in front of you sometimes. Can't just blame the defense.

 

[JustNapalmIt]

Theres a reason Pickard has a winning record and Skinner doesnt. Its because Skinner is not a real NHL goalie and Pickard is at least a back up.

This team is good, Skinner is the worst in the league

Its Scwhartz fault I hear

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

What are you talking about? We outplayed them and outchanced them most of the night. That second goal was an awful play that is a surefire goal (although I see goalies somehow save that on us all the time, won’t Blame Skinner). Second was Bouchard being awful and Skinner not even being in proper positioning.
I’ve seen goalies stop breakaways like that every night.

If we did we blow them away. They had a chance to put them away and played like pansies. That third period took me back to the decade of darkness. Just flipping the puck out with no real plan.

 

[McDeepika]

The leafs never allowed a breakaway or pass it directly to someone in the slot.

Right. We totally never saw Rielly make a mistake behind the net and get stripped clean only for Stolarz to bail him out

 

[FlameChampion]

Oilers subreddit are the biggest simps for Skinner, I don’t think anyone on there watches the games

Bouchard is awful right now but he had a shit start last season as well IIRC

Don’t even need to watch the game to know how bad Skinner is. The stats don’t lie.

 

[Ninety7]

If we had a competent goalie this team would have won the cup last year

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Skinner just zero ability to make a read or move an inch laterally. Why he came out that far when mcmann clearly only had one side of the net to go to is just baffling. I can't defend him. He's f***ing awful and I want a new tendy. Can't move an inch on the OT goal, albeit a nice shot. Shrinks up with his arms to his sides as usual on the tying goal.

Just terrible, inexcusable technique, inexcusable mentality and reads.

 

[WhyYouHaveToBeMad]

Enough of California closets...send this fat fu*k packing

send him packing into california closets

 

[I am the Liquor]

Watching the replay holy f*** what in the mother of McJesus is Skinner doing?

He squares himself up to Bouchard instead of the shooter.

He was cheating for the pass

 

[Dieseloil]

Here we are again, this is a broken record. Skinner never wins us a game. Ever.

 

[aspin3]

He’s right though.

Oilers give up two chances in the third and they both go in.

Skinner needs to stop one of the last three goals.

Blew the 4 of the last 5 games late in the third regardless of which goalie was in net. They consistently let guys in behind them with the bench yelling.

 

[Echodek]

Are there any betting odds that Skinners save % dips below .800 before Christmas?

 

[McShogun99]

Skinner.

Why the Jeff Skinner hate? He’s not producing but he isn’t costing the team either. He’s just kind of there. Complete waste of 3 million if they’re not playing him in the top 6.

 

[MoontoScott]

Too bad Rodrigue had such a poor preseason. He's doing even better this year in the AHL.

I was just going to ask about him. Does he look like he might be NHL ready? I know its a tough question to answer.

 

[Cloned]

He was cheating for the pass

Like he would’ve stopped that if it had gotten through, lol.

 

[Zguy370]

Can Skinner every bail any of his teammates out? Ever?

My exact thoughts, it's like we gotta score at least 4 or 5 to bail him out instead

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I was just going to ask about him. Does he look like he might be NHL ready? I know its a tough question to answer.

Schwartz will ruin him.

People get defensive cause they say that it's the D-men not the goalie. Both can be true.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Lmao those were plays that would get you benched at best or demoted at worst. No effort after one of your leaders got injured. That was a gutless effort.

The Bouchard one sure. The rest happen all the time. Are you serious?

 

[Cloned]

He wasn’t very good tonight and his turnovers lead to goals against.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Seriously after that five minute power play you knew they didn’t care about winning.

 

[GMofOilers]

If we had a competent goalie this team would have won the cup last year

They probably 90% chance win 2 cups with a decent goalie

 

[Tom Brady]

POOPchard on any other team in the league would be scratched the next game but he will be rewarded with the 1st PP unit and over 20 mins of ice time.


It's very impressive this team is above .500 with Skinner in net, he is not even a backup at this point.
