Per minutes played he’s got numbers……..still feel bouch should watch from press box, not so much as punishment but it does help some realize the games pace from another vantage point
This guy was 9mil last year playing top line, oilers made him 3mil and a 4th line guy, I could just imagine skinner and mcdavid but seems like won’t happen 😢 LGO
Jeff, "You need to get into the OPEN!" Give Leon some angles to pass to you, and be ready! Skate, use your skills You don't have too much opportunities left…. better make good on your opportunities! WE NEED YOU FOR THE PLAYOFFS, YOU NEED TO START CONTRIBUTING, YOU CAN DO IT!
Oilers team need to tell LOOOOSER MCDAVID to start playing hockey Instead of making TV commercials and playing hockey 🏒 9 games 😢1 goal and 5 assists that's sad 😢😢😢
Just play your game….follow the directives….work the give-and-goes….focus on converting possessions into shots on net as much as you can, dont turn pucks over without converting to a shot on net, defer to any linemate rather than risk a giveaway….this is a Possession heavy System and unforced errors are what its designed to discourage, defer before you take risks , if you have no shot defer immediatly , dont rag it to much trying to create space and risk a giveaway because the puck moves faster than even Mcdavids feet….. your role will soon expand….just follow these directives and let the good times roll. You"ve got this Sandman.
J Skinner needs to play in the lineup more, He needs to be playing on the top line more, He deserves to have a spot on the team😢 I’m so happy he gets a chance to play in the playoffs 💙🧡
Jeff Skinner was a 40 goal scorer on a bad team. How he is struggling with the Oil is beyond me. He FINALLY has a great centre to play with in Leon. If I were the coach, I would leave them together indefinitely. When you are as talented as Jeff Skinner, you work things out naturally. It seems like Knoblauch is finally learning this lesson.🎉

Dont give up. You are being treated wrong we all know it. Someone else should be benched: Yanmark or kappenen would do.
Finally this guy is gonna get some top line action,, I guess Stan bowman read my email and he actually listened to my ideas!!!!! Thanks Stan

Please give Skinner a leash and an honest chance in the top 6.
There will be some minor growing pains, but give him a solid chance.
In lack of a better term, we are stuck with him. So we better find where to use him consistently in our lineup!
We will need him in the playoffs!
Please prove Knobber wrong where you should stay in the top 6 like originally planned

Guy should be in the top 6 each night

Just watch him back at bottom 6 after the first shift
Jeff skinner needs to be apart of the team man! Stop benching him.

Keep working hard skinsy. Fans NOTICE you out there. Have fun and be positive. KEEP THOSE LEGS A GOING
Guy still has 11 goals with limited top 6 minutes and no 1st PP time. If he was given more time in top 6 he can easily have 25G right now

Just so you know Jeff Skinner, even though you get benched frequently, us Oilers fans support you and are rooting for you!!
This proves Knoby has no idea what he's doing….
In my opinion; Jeff Skinner is a pretty cool guy.
Maybe J. Skinner is the only one on the team telling Knoblauch to start making some better coaching decisions Lol
Paige Martin asks great questions. So much better than spec and those bums
