“Hey Nurse watch the play instead of the puck!!”

Like holy shit dude. Go watch the play again, Skinner is watching Nurse play with the puck. If he wasn’t watching where the puck was going he’d be blasted for being distracted or something.
Did you miss the first part where he looks directly at a charging reaves before looking at Nurse?

Are you as dumb as Skinner is?

A simple "heads up" would have potentially protected Nurse from taking a headshot.

Its still 100% on reaves, but the dummy in net could've tried to atleast negate it.

Yeah that suspension video really makes Skinner look really bad on the play, no on ice awareness at all, like 0. I might even dislike him more after watching that video. I bet the team does.

you’re right. Skinner is literally at fault for everything. Be more mad at him than Reaves for the cheap shot.

Skinner didn’t use his psychic powers to predict that Reaves was targeting the head. Professor X, we got another one over here.

Skinners play tells the team they need 5 to win almost any day. Nobody would listen to Skinner anyway. Except the media around here who love him. unfortunately the Oilers opponents love him as well. They love seeing him in net.
Skinner was probably wondering what donair he was ordering after the game

Should be a dozen or more games for that idiot scumbag Reaves. f*** that guy.
He needs to be brasheared. Just whack him right upside the head. His knees are bad too. Or torpedo him

The lack of legitimate replays of that incident might have worked in Reaves favour. All the replays Sportsnet was showing last night were close up shots. I only saw 1 shown (and it was after the game) that showed a wide angle and showed where Reaves was on the ice when he started charging towards Nurse. He took a 40 foot run at him and that IMO showed a deliberate attempt to injure. The close up of the head shot is bad enough but the full replay was much worse. With all these questionable decisions you can’t help but wonder how much effort the league puts in to get things right.

I'll start by saying Skinner has not been good enough. He should, and is, being criticized for his play and rightfully so.

Anyone blaming him for the hit on Nurse is just letting their frustration with Skinner spill over. It's the equivalent, imo, of blaming the hit on Nurse not looking up. This is 100% on Reeaves. It was a predatory hit, by a repeat offender who's reputation as a goon long precedes this particular infraction. Blaming Skinner is just a bad take. Might as well blame his defensive partner for not barking at him as well.

we are going to leak 4-5 goals minimum these next few games with josh brown , skinner and co. while our offence is clearly not good enough to compensate, 3-4 losses in a row incoming

Blaming Skinner for absolutely everything is fashionably lazy. This is just looking for a whipping boy instead of looking at the culture of “all offence, forget your own end” as the source of the issues with this team at the moment
