A little off topic, but holy hell was Matheson on Skinner hard in today's interview. Unfortunately, he didn't take ownership of his own frustration and just dumped it on the fans... but the comments about "we need a better goalie, the fans keep saying that... need another goalie, a better one... how does that make you feel?"

Tossed the fans under the bus, but at least letting Stu know that the base is less than impressed. Kind of a win / lose take from Jim.

Why on earth are the Oilers still letting this lazy freeloading hack into the building? Matheson I mean.

Yeah, I mean, it's not like Skinner is living under a rock. He's aware the Oilers need better than .500 netminding out of him. He's not struggling on purpose just to piss us off.

I don't really understand what the purpose of a question like that is. Sometimes I think Matheson (like Terry Jones) believes that they are part of the team and that part of the job is to motivate players where others cannot. Only thing is that no one on the current team thinks he's relevant so they're not getting a lot out of that other than annoyance.

Journalists are the absolute worst.

Remember these are people who have spent their entire lives with this level of entitlement and self importance - and for a lot of them have spent years, even decades shaping public opinion and wielding a ton of power. People like Matheson, Jones, Specter etc have had (and to some extent still do) the influence to ruin careers just based on being the ones have had access to the vehicle to distribute their garbage lazy analysis. These are the people that blew a gasket when the coach removed the donuts from their media slop troughs. The ones who cry about having to take non direct flights to Florida. They are the ones "in the trenches". The majority of them have never actually worked a day in their lives, are extremely well off but lack any sense of self-awareness or humility.

Of course it's only sports and we are talking about milionaire athletes so it isn't that serious - but within this bubble they are about as repulsive as it gets.
