Skinner seems to start the game slow alot. Perhaps during warmup, instead of lofting weak shots at him, they should wiz some hard ones at him to get him into the game right away.
I call Bull Shite ! – Skinner aint gunna cut it !!
Skinner does not cut it. Never has. Face it. And neither does the defence.
Bouchard is an absent minded pretty boy.
Trade him ASAP.
If they don't do something about the goalie issue, they won't get very far this year. Can't win with a goalie that spots the opposition 3 goals in the 1st period regularly. Gibson sounds like a good fit with the Oilers, and yes, trade Bouchard, he is not very smart defensively. Costs them too many goals against and will rear its ugly head in the postseason.
TRADE LOOOOSER MCDAVID BECAUSE HE WILL BE GONE NEXT YEAR 😮😮😮😊
Bowman sounds flat out crazy.
How can bowman not see skinner will not win us a cup, 3 goals on 8 shots every game he starts is horrible! Trade him asap!
Exactly, he "consistently" has bad games.
Way too often
I say fire the coach and if Skinner fails to pickup their game, then trade him. Skinner is not a number one goalie, maybe a 1B but we need a 1A. The coach has never had a great record here and the best goalie we have had here is Roloson! I think the coach has been here way too long, and does he think he is irreplaceable? If he does, well that is a big detriment to our team.
I would trade for Vejmelka, or Hill once Vegas puts Mark Stone on LTIR. It’d mean they’d have more cap space to cheat once stone and hill are gone so they may take it
Please let's spread the blame the oilers need to get the puck out of their end its called defence for a reason.
These regular season stat don't really matter all that matters is him getting us that cup it doesn't matter how many games he wins or loses it only matters about getting the the finals and he's the only goalie that did that for the oilers in almost 20 years so I agree with Bowman and we shouldn't touch the goaltending
I think Skinner should be traded because he gives up a lot of goals lately and it’s unacceptable! Calvin Pikkard is a better goalie than him. Unfortunately, it’s the truth. Keep Pikkard
I beg to differ…we need a new and better Goalie Coach.
