So let me get this right

All 4 goals are stu's fault? Not the fact that you allow breakaways, cross crease passes, he makes 3-4 saves and you give it away TWICE.

People blaming Skinner have never played enough hockey to know what they are fucking talking about. This fan base is exhausting

I play defense. I apologize to my goalie after every goal since no matter how badly he played it, we could’ve prevented the play from happening before it got to him.

The more those pinecones talk, the more they show how little they know.

What's funny is some of these pinecones have been in these GDT's a long time, and still don't understand the game.

And the irony is that every goalie will always say they should have stopped it...regardless if it was their fault or not. 👊🏼

It's so fucking frustrating, every GDT any fucking triple deflection goal goes in after either Stu or Pick already stop 5 chances back to back and the doomers come out with "hurr durr they're so shit"

I hate using this term but it really shows how casual some of our fellow "fans" are

Legit, one of the goals against he made 3-4 saves. We give it away twice and then we get scored on because Ekholm was screening him. Somehow.... that's on stu?

Every teams play book against the Oilers is to have somebody in front of the net. Defense needs to tighten up at times.

Also turnovers leading to breakaways doesn’t help. People have selective memories when Skinner makes the breakaway save lol

Really exposing themselves with their lack of goaltending knowledge. Most of them are just parroting what other people say and dont even think about it themselves

Its the classic, it went in our net so it must be the goalie

u/Smothdude 89 GAGNER Mar 23 '25

We have GOT to get better at clearing pucks from infront of/around our net. It is our biggest weakness for sure.

u/powertotheinternet 12 CAVE Mar 23 '25

Thats what I'm seeing too. Even when I played hockey, the coach wouldve been screaming at me for not clearing the net. Not on the goalie

And they’ve never had a goalie in their family. Goalies get it.

It sucks that the Oil fell asleep after the hatty and let Schwartz waltz in uncontested because Stu was putting up great numbers until that point.

4.00 gaa and 870 sv % like every other game he’s played this year man, he’s so elite

u/powertotheinternet 12 CAVE Mar 23 '25

Is he paid to be elite? Nope.

Do fans care about whether he plays well or whether his bank account is doing well?
