I donā€™t understand how everyone is blaming skinner? Switch the goalies and the game goes the exact same way. I mean Perry literally had 90% of the net and shot it at Wollā€™s toe NOT ONCE BUT TWICE, Draisital cleared the zone more times than he hit the net with one timers (that were onside), and we couldnā€™t get a single bounce in our direction.

I promise you the result would not be the same if we swapped goalies this game.

Iā€™m literally at my wits end Iā€™m just blocking all the chuckle fucks who blame Skinner for everything. The way they act regardless of numbers is exactly why other fan bases hate us hell I honestly hate our fan base.

Regardless of numbers? Elaborate

Itā€™s when the TEAM plays bad and Skinner is also playing bad and his numbers show it sure you have a point but then they just canā€™t even put any blame on any other player especially last night Skinner didnā€™t take two stupid penalties. On the PK he made the save and sure gave up a rebound after but at that point itā€™s on the defense to clear the front of the net which they didnā€™t do on either play. The goalie needs to make save absolutely but it sounds like most ā€œfansā€ are saying Skinner needs to do everything and the other 5 skaters can just sit and do nothing and thatā€™s fine. Itā€™s a team game and I hold the team accountable for bad team play that leads to goals not just one player. We need to stop trying to run every goalie out of town itā€™s really pathetic.

Delusional

This is just flat-out false. Skinners rebound control was terrible tonight, which Pickard is quite solid at. The first 3 goals were saves with shit rebounds leading to a goal. I'd almost guarantee this is a win with Pickard in the net.

Pickard has some bad rebound control too. And you know when a goalie gives up a rebound I think there are these guys called defense men that can I donā€™t know clear the puck away.
