Great analysis! Love how you recognize that a goalie can do everything right and still get scored on. I cringe everytime I hear other analysts just look at the score and say a goalie was "off that night" or that they didn't "look their best" despite a goalie playing a great game, even if the score says otherwise. Gives me PTSD from my minor hockey days. Anyways keep up the great work love the vids.
Who threw a banana peel on the ice
Short answer, Skinner is good because he is big. He cant even B-fly push. Terrible technic all over. Sorry.
I always thought the white base was to be able to find pucks more easily against them
Great stuff, Jimmy, as always. I would have enjoyed high school geometry so much more had the teacher related it to goaltending.
Bob is just a much better goaltender
Would like to see …some kinde of SEASON analysis of Stu….In my opinion too many people are blaming him for too much goals…OK I know he made a ton of mistakes but….I would like to see your video to this
The âtâ is not pronounced in Tkachuk. Gretzky is doing the same on a SCF broadcast which is just cringe.
When Stu is good,he's very good,but when he's bad…he's abysmal.
Go Panthers!!!!
Great breakdown, as always. That bit about staying on the angle is so applicable for goalies of any level.
They donât have the same team as when I played Dallas
Skinner always looks panicked trying to do too many movements at once
âCanât blame Skinner on a breakawayâ, not when he canât save many breakaways, in fact, I canât recall him saving a single breakaway in this playoff. Goalie faces breakaway all the time, especially in the shootouts, they made way more saves than allowing goals overall. So yes, Skinner is to blame for those breakaways, scoring on a breakaway is not as easy as it looks, only Skinner makes it easy for the shooter.
I donât think Edmonton challenged that goal where Tkachuk was inside the blue paint because the puck ricocheted off Bouchard, that pucks trajectory was a foot off the goal.
Skinner 0-11 on playoff breakaways this year
Skinner looks like a baby giraffe on ice when he trying to stop a beak away.
When you play the net like Officer Bobrovsky, you can wear whatever color combo you please lol
That first goal against Skinner. Notice Ekholm gets his stick slashed out of his hand, and the pass to the goal scorer goes right through where Ekholmâs stick should have been. Thatâs one of FIVE uncalled obvious penalties that Lead directly to goals against this series. The oilers got screwed by the Colin Campbellâs refs.
Bob gives up 2 wrister muffins to start the game. Stu gives up 2 back door chances and 2 breakaway and one point shot. 2 of 5 goals against with obvious panthers penalties leading to the goals. Oilers got zero breakaways all game. And yet morons will blame Stu for losing this game for the Oilers.đđđ
Subbed! You should have the same amount of subs at hockey psychology! Love to watch the growth of this channel
Connor McDavid scored one goal in 6 games this FinalsâŚhe deserves no praise and the answer to the Oilers winning The Stanley Cup is much more than than just better goaltending. Itâs their Captain actually showing up when the game is on the line! Where was he in Game 6?. The greatest player of our generation shouldnât be getting shut down offensively by a player that was bought off of waivers (Forsling). Last Stanley Cup Finals wasnât much different with a Game 7 No Show. Itâs all too easy to blame everything on Skinner. Other then some slick passes, One would hope that after two abysmal Stanley Cup finals performances, people would finally stop GOAT talk and praise someone actually deserving of it
