During warmups before Game 3, Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner and Panthers goalie Vitek Vanecek are spotted in a subtle stare-down. It might be goalie mind games—last year, in Game 7, Panthers netminder Anthony Stolarz stood right near Skinner at the red line too.

I think it’s something with goalies and the number 41 on the Panthers
Pure respect. Just means Cats are afraid of Skinner when he’s on his game so they need to use underhanded tactics to get an edge.
Its ok if you the starter. This is just embarrassing when you not playing
Nothing to see here, just two backup goalies warming up😂
Vanecek > Skinner
Yeah be sure to bring mcdavid up even when he’s not in the video. lol
My dog does this when she meets other dogs
Rasmus Anderson style. I like it.
Vitek is a sweet guy normally it’s fun to see him playing head games
A little bit of psychological warfare haha,
It worked 😂
Skinner needs to work more on stopping pucks than his pregame posturing.
Im a hater of warm weather hockey, but just wear.vanbeisbrocks mask
They're talking about how the script is becoming blatantly obvious like the NFL has. The refs are a bleeding give away that it's set up, it's extremely similar to NFL officiating; extremely favorable with selective penalty calls and no calls, there's a definite double standard. An example: the last two goalie interference calls; how were those interference but Bennett's punch to Stolarz wasn't a penalty?
This is hilarious! Goalies are weird as is, this takes it to the next level
Skinner should be moved to emergency back up
please fight, then you won't have to play!
Foreskinner
San Jose Sharks Legend Vitec Vanecek
This didn’t age well
That’s the closest he’ll get to playing an actual game in the finals. Good for him
Pickard came over told him see you in the 2nd
“what can’t McDavid do?”
McDavid isn’t even in this clip…
So funny
You shouldn’t even try and intimidate the other team when you have a baseball hat waiting on the bench for you to wear
I hope my boy Vanecek was talkin cash sh!t
Bobby is a class act. I have never seen him play these silly games
