  1. We won 8 in a row and lots of oiler fans all along the way think Skinner is an insane goal tender all of the sudden. This is a preview for the playoffs if we don’t make a move for a goalie. What was the difference in the Edmonton vs Vegas series last year? Elite goaltending vs mediocre goal tending…

  2. You got outplayed. That’s all it matters. Move on. lol?!?! You are getting pay to stop the puck. Do it! Get on the bus or get off. We can’t be wasting 97 and 29 prime time. Sorry Skin. You cost us the game.

  3. KYFSOTI…..the entire game swung because someone did not KYFSOTI….because tonight a lot of guys forgot and it brought penalties and goals against….cant you remember how the streak began? Oh sorry Hollywould I forgot you were to busy thinking about your next camera shots to be in the moment for 60 minutes, huh?Just be an NHL Hockey player Hollywould the rest is distracting you, yes the stubborn refusal to just go silent and focus on the Team is a problem man, its not healthy. Overall everythings great, but the details are killing you man. You are overthinking things which is why I have to keep asking you to run silent for the Teams sake. But I give up now. Good luck with that Yap-Yap-Yap stuff Hollywould .

  4. Yes we need a better starter in goal, skinner is getting better overtime but what we need are better positive, supportive FANS!’n

  5. I know that skinner isn’t a starter but I still feel like the oilers coaches needed to pull skinner after the 3rd goal. He looked all over the place the whole night and I could tell he was off.

  6. 4 goals and just under a 3:1 shot advsntage and lose 7-4.
    Skinner is an NHL back up. Get the team a legit starter. Not a try hard.

  7. This game taught me that the top level hockey teams will need elite goal tending to be competitive. This goalie got out skilled by the other goalie. It's a shame we had to blow $25 mil on a AHL level like Campbell. Skinner is good but we need a legit veteran goal tending that can clutch.

  8. Let’s go Stuuuuuuuuuuiu! Shake it off and keep leaning and moving on. Start another 8 game winner streak!

  9. this teams needs a PRO Goalie badly,,,i,m getting tired of these amateurs giving up suspect goals,,,,,

  10. Wild they let skinner talk to the media after a loss, oilers management should try and keep the pressure off him.

    Not an oilers fan, but his lack of confidence is really sad. He is a NHL athlete. And their top guy right now.

    No wonder Edmonton can't win. it seems like a toxic environment

  11. He did make a couple massive saves in this game, but he also let in some insane softies. Stamkos should’ve scored 1 of those, not 4. Kucherov should not have been able to sneak that one by. I would love Stu as a backup and feel like he could be a solid 1b, but he is not starter material

  12. Skinner knows he was going to get ripped to pieces by fans after that performance. 2 goals on 4 shots? This one's on Knoblauch. Didn't have the balls to pull him. Everyone knew Skinner was going to have a rough night 2 minutes into the game. It takes a win streak then a loss like this to know the losses at the beginning of the season were on Campbell and Skinner. Apparently multiple 40 shot nights and a 55 shot night tonight are just not enough shots to motivate Skinner or Campbell. Skinner and Campbell just can't handle the most fractional, teeny weeny amount of pressure. Vassy glaringly demonstrated what a real playoff goalie looks like. Skinner is getting paid exactly what he should be paid, maybe even over paid, back up goalie money. That's why Campbell's contract is one of the worst contracts in NHL history. I always said Skinner and Campbell both have serious issues between the ears, Skinner just does a better job of hiding it. Doing a post game interview after this atrocious performance is a perfect example of Skinner hiding his on ice mental composure issues. He wants us to think he's this cool customer, but he's not. He was nervous from the drop of the puck. That's called inexperience. And that's why at this stage in his career he's a back up goalie. He needs years to develop into a #1. I hope this game sealed the deal for Jackson to get a legit #1 goalie. If Jackson believes Skinner is the absolute best goalie we'll have for the rest of the season then this team is in deep deep trouble.

  13. Feel sorry for this guy, he’s being pushed into a number 1 spot when he’s clearly not ready.

  14. Skinner what a pathetic performance :22 shots – 5 missed goals)), SV .773%

    How can you win the Stanley Cup with such a loser goalie?🤣

    Connor Brown has ZERO goals in 21 games and (-10), what the heck.😝

    As an Oiler fan, I'm feeling miserable right now.😇

  15. I can’t remember a game that a goalie played “stellar” and not just good or passable. I honestly have to think back to Cujo’s days

  16. Keep up the good work Schwartzy! Here’s to another decade of first rate goalie development in Edmonton.
