Legit garbage. What was he even doing on the GW? Off-balance, flailing around.
Reaves needs a nice crosscheck to the teeth for that hit on Nurse. What a loser.

You have posted yourself doing the splits, classic goalie look. Are you, or were you, a goalie? I ask because I haven't seen anyone with actual goalie knowledge post in here for a while.
Like many of us that played "out" goalies are voodoo to me. Sometimes Skinner looks great, other times, beer league quality.

Yes
However I understand beer league goalie is much different than professional so take what I say with a grain of salt lol.
With that said Skinner is trash. His lateral movements and flexibility are both horrendous and lead to some easy goals that I legit think in would save. I have been to live games and he gives up goals that just make me scratch my hand. He is way out of position on so many goals , and he won't even be screened or anything. It just makes no sense to me. I give credit where credit is due. Last year he went on a hot streak and had some beautiful games. This year it hasn't happened. If he was even half decent we would likely be first place right now. I understand the defense hasn't been great, and special teams earlier was horrendous. But Skinner is a major concern right now.

Stolarz outplayed Stu badly in this game, and it's funny that we once had him in our system.
Sometimes guys just emerge out of nowhere, but it makes you question our organization's ability to evaluate goaltending talent (ermmm... which is DS still a coach again?).
It's been a pretty consistent theme that the other team's goalie plays lights out, or at least better than our own. Skinner needs to figure this nonsense out, and the D in front of him need to not have massive breakdowns two to four times a game.

Got that “every good chance against is gonna go in” feeling again.
Bouch brutal plays for sure. We was crap to start last year too, but ended up playing the best defense of any Oilers D in a while last playoffs. Have faith he will get it together again. Skinner on the other hand, think we are banking on mental health coaching finding new ways to hit the right buttons. Maybe or maybe not possible.
And just as we find a good second pair with Nurse on the right with Kulak, we lose Nurse to a trash hit by Reaves. Unbelievable.

Exactly. I just don't trust Skinner to ever make a big game saver to keep us in it

Hard to overcome an .818 game. Of course Bouch didn't help...
...this time, it's for real (isn't it?).

Bouchard is back. Stupid Stupid pass on the 2-2.. zero.. zero effort.. and absolutely no awareness .. on the 3-2
Hope Oilers remember plays like this in any contract talks with him.. he's the type of guy that could be a boat anchor cap hit in short order.

Yup agreed with all of you. Team is finally getting it going too. It's a shame. If we had a solid goalie we could be first place. Beyond frustrating when you have to score four or five goals every game to win

You got Connor McDavid, he dominates.. and you STILL can't win.. defense and goalie.
Defense except for Bouchard played not bad.. and Skinner can't make a big save.
He got out classed by STOLARZ .. wow

It's so frustrating.
We have the Canadians next. We better friggin win that game
I just don't want to finish as a wild card. Playing a team like Vegas first round is scary
If we make playoffs

Hope Nurse is OK.. that was one of the dirtiest hits I've seen since Clarke Stevens was scrambling guys brains like a 4 egg Denver omelet.. Reaves should get 8 games.

That Reeves hit is complete BS. The league needs to throw the book at him and set an example.

Agreed. That was sickening and uncalled for. Reaves should be out of the league. Just a complete goof. Makes me sick

Guy single handedly costed the Leafs multiple playoff games with dumb penalties and dumb plays. Treliving is a goof for keeping him around. Although, for the vast majority of hockey fans, seeing the Leafs intentionally handicap themselves is enjoyable.

Two best players in the league and the team is doing nothing to shore up the obvious problems that keep plaguing this team. Or making beyond spectacular fails (Campbell) attempting to do so. Get a real starter and guarantee this team turns around into a contender.
