Have Faith Oil Country!!!! Stu’s Got This! 💪
Skinner has brought this team throughout the season Oilers 6 – 3
Damn near stapled my eyelids shut after reading that news ☠️☠️☠️ tighten up that jock strap Stu
0:34 it’s unfortunate Pickard is out due to a potential injury although hopefully Stuart Skinner, unlike in the first two starts that this postseason the latter made, will come out strong in game three of the Oilers-Golden Knights 2025 playoff series.
Sorry to say, but I have zero confidence in Stu. Oilers are gonna have to score a touchdown to win this one tonight
omg STUUUU
PTW:
for EDM, STUUUUUU
for the VGK, Nicolas Roy cause of the missed suspension
Keys to the game for EDM:
– Special Teams
– Protecting the tendy
– I dont have a third one, just wanted to say that i love your vids austin, they make my day whenever u upload. GO OIL!!
lets get that 3-0 lead!!
I sold my Stu stock long ago so I’ll watch and detach the emotion. Not letting the team impact my mood when Stu plays so I hope things work out but if they don’t I’m already at peace with what the oilers have accomplished. They came back, won a series and losing to Vegas isn’t some upset so hope they don’t get blown out and 97 and 29 can put up some more points to aid their legacies.
Whoa! Pre-game!
I remember Klingberg had 67 points with Dallas one season then completely disappeared a few years later.
I love those kinds of stories.
Can we just mention what a boss move it was for Pickard to remain in net after Hertl messed up his leg? He just said, nope I'm good, lets win this, and he did just that. My respect meter (which was already very high) shot up probably another meter. But of course that is the silver lining, I'm quite sad he doesn't get to come home, get his 7th win in a row and practically put this series to rest. Now, I can't have my 4-0 series win + 8-0 Pickard!
Skinner was shaky in games 1 and 2 in LA, even if you could argue most of those goals had more to do with defensive structure loss rather than just bad goaltending. I'm hoping Pickard's run has inspired Skinner to up his compete level and he can find his way to get those pucks. Edmonton is playing better hockey and better defensively than they were at the start, so I'm hoping we see a nice redemption arc for good ol' Stu. He doesn't have to be amazing, just solid like Pickard has been, and I think we can expect a 3-0 series lead coming out tonight. Here's hoping!
It’s devastating that Picks is out. This is a great chance for Stu to lock things down. The team needs to play well in front of him though, they can’t just expect him to carry the entire defence like they’ve been tending to do all year. I believe in 74 and I’m gonna be rocking his jersey tonight in support. I hope he has an awesome game!
Skinners best game is better than Pickards best game. In all honesty, the oilers have a better chance to win with Skinner.
I want Stu to start his winning streak also. Can you imagine 2 goaltenders with a hot team in front of them. Wow , that would be so scary for the opposition.
We have to pick it up with the pp and pk, then we will take charge of the ice.Keep it up Austin.👍
No suspension for Roy, rigged, total BS
stuart skinner in net, more BS, nothing wrong with Pickard, who is our hero. This is just a pathetic excuse to play the horrible stuart skinner, i'm not buying it. Big Big mistake. I'm not even watching the game. OMG, who would do this? Put rodrigue in FFS, team will play better. This is the worst news i could ever have heard. horrible. disaster. And this is the game that could have broken Vegas. WTF oilers management? WTF? fire bowman/jackson
Pickard is getting shafted. Can't believe people can be positive about stuart skinner? delusional. what does it take to face reality? if Vegas is up 5-0, then is it real? Only hope, pull skinner after first goal. put in Pickard/Rodrigue as soon as possible. Can't belive oilers management would do this to our team. fire bowman/jackson already, holy.
Stu had 6 games to rest, never know, maybe that’ll help him shut the door for 6 games 😎
Someone accidentally fall on their goalie legs!! I
I mean Pickard needs to rest because when Vegas wins tn (and they will) they need to get the split. I mean Vegas is literally a Murder Hornet Nest right now and they want to win. RIP STU. I just cant get behind skinner I'm sorry this is is going to be a massacre. I will buy STUs jersey if they win tn that's how confident I am that he will fail.
Stu stu stu!
I believe in Stu! In Stu we trust !
Everyone chant Stuuuuu! When you get to the game. Give him support. We need him now.
If Stu "Chit the Bed" Skinner blows this opportunity, he is done.
Go oilers
Skinner will try his best and the team needs to support him…..Let's keep the big picture in view.
Skins took us to game 7 of the SCF last year. We gotta believe. I am hoping he believes in himself. If he lets the first SOG in (as he often does) I'm worried he will lose his confidence. Either way lets outscore the Knights and get them backed into a tight corner. BTW Eichel a very unattractive man inside and out
Mind Set! Stu can do it!!!🧡
well Skinner likes to leave the net , he also likes to leave the net did i say skinner likes to leave the net Pickard being injured i call bull on that he continued to play and play well this is the coaches decision he should be held accountable, leon is not a goalie thats all Skinnerbleaving the net .
