It Stu gave up last night I don’t want him in net. Pickard isn’t the best but the team plays like hell in front of him. If we don’t win tomorrow night I’ll be heartbroken.
yikes.90% in the mind?and he said he is lucky that hes been through so much so that he isnt an absolute wreck….bro he skipped media availability yesterday.he is compromised
You know what, I always admire how he responds after a game where he doesn't do well. I think the last game is the only time this year where he caused a loss and wasn't immediately available to the media. He immediately points that out, apologizes, and acknowledges that 90% of the issue was mental. If he does get going again, it's not going to be by ducking his head, trying not to think about what just happened, and ceding the starting spot to Pickard. I hope they do sit him for a game to give him a break, and after that, I hope he forces his way back in goal. He knows they need more from him. He's proven capable of stepping it up in the past. If he's going to break through and make it over the hump, now is the time.
Skinner saying nothing he did wrong was technical is both concerning and revealing. His positioning in net is off, bad, at times. He also sometimes freezes and goes down early sometimes and then cannot track a pass across the ice, giving the other team wide open net goals. Boeser got one last night where Stu was no where close. There’s a lot of technical improvements he could make
Feel like you let down the team? Dude, you let us down many times already…learn from the 22-23 playoffs and just get better, window of opportunity is closing
Pressure is getting to him. Oilers no chance if they don’t play someone else immediately. The Canucks get 20 or more shots on goal, the Oilers will require 4 goals minimum, but probably 5. Season is done if Skinner starts game 4.
Its completely managements fault for not upgrading this position its not your fault your not a true starting goalie. Good luck in the future wont be this years playoffs
I want Stu to become a franchise goalie, but some teams have some goalies number. I think Vancouver has Stus, but I think in 4/5 games he played well against LA. He has potential. Just need a new goalie coach who can properly develop Stu
Thanks stu for playing goaltender for us. A turnover by fogele, a man left wide open? tough to blame goalie for everything. Stu just needs to be average not spectacular for us. 😊. Pickard gets next one which is ok stu might need a rest then back to stu hes our goalie of the future.😊
Stu is like the toxic ex gf. Things go bad but then we have a fun time (he plays well) and we decide to get back together. Then she becomes a degenerate again and burns us

The guy had a breakdown. You don't rebound from that. Trade him.
It's almost like Vancouver's low shot volume allows opposing goalies to go cold? Silovs got better as the pressure poured on. I dunno. Go Canucks

Press conferences are easy, we need to see him produce on the ice. The time for talk came and went last offseason.
You can do it, Stu, you’ve done it before!
Should rent Clarke from the Canucks he is a great goal coach

Full confidence in skinner some weak ones Giving up but I feel he's gonna respond
Just sit out. You’re not a good goalie.

Youre number’s are fifth worst in nhl playoff history its not your fault your not a starter but be honest with facts !

I love you steweyy
Some days are not your day , but you’re still my king
All you oilers fans are pathetic. It’s still early in the series and both teams have a good shot. Show some faith in your number 1 goalie
A common denominator for our goaltending woes has been our coach. I think, just like getting Coffey for our D-Core, we need a switch up there too.
Knoblauch is figuring out as to how he obtained the head coaching job. No coach at any competitive level survives having that BS goaltending.
No Cup this year folks. Back to the drawing board. This guy is not leading the Oilers to a cup.
great regular season…….bed shitter when it counts.
Maybe play like it's more of a practice then a game. It might help or if OILERS need a goalie? I'll give it a shot….
Stuart i cant stop the puck skinner.
Feel for him . Hope he figures it out
Swim like canucks goalie! He even hold Ryan stick without penalty. Anyways , Skinner you’re better than their goalie just focus! Move !

We are acting like 4 goals in the playoffs is bad. Yes they had low shots but there was no reason to pull skinner
This guy is one of the best goaltenders in recent Edmonton Oilers history. Don't feel bad Stu. You will get better!

Pack his gear in Bakersfield Condors hockey carry bag on wheels.
SS always been an idiot , well know in town!
It’s not all on you skins … doc and ceci 🗑️

Don’t pull a woodcroft and play Pickard and see what he can do!! Look what silovs is doing!! Let’s not repeat the past playoffs!
