Good start. 1-1. Skinner should have had that save.


I really, really wish Skinner would stop trying to imitate Mike Smith's style of goaltending. Stay on your feet instead of swimming around the ice on your stomach.


I disagree with both of you.

@Taligrade
Tavares and Kulak are behind the net and Tavares goes down. Kulak circles out front far side and for some reason heads towards the point. This allows Tavares to get up, head to the net short side and have a wide open point blank chance that Skinner saves. The rebound goes back to the short side where there is a bunch of players and no Oiler picks up McCann who knocks home the rebound. Skinner saving a rebound in that scenario would be a great save.

@Oiltec
I agree he shouldn't do the Smith impression, and he often does. As mentioned above he makes a good save after being hung out to dry. He made that save out of the butterfly so ended up on his stomach trying to sell our for the rebound. Ideally he would be able to make the first, stay in the butterfly and push to his right again, as mentioned above, that would be a heck of a save and I don't think he can be blamed for not making it.

Much like Nurse, a lot of Skinner's critisism's are earned but we can't blame both of them every time there is a GA


He does seem to flail about a bit. That play where Nylander almost scored on the PP with the blast off the boards, for example, he's just all over the place. It's hard to feel confident with him in net.


100% agree he does. I just dont think on that play he was to blame. I am far from a goalie expert. If he lunges and makes a save there most fans would be cheering for a great save. Missing those isn't a save he has to have, the first one was and he made it, the second would be a bonus.
