That title makes it sound like we got a shutout 😅
He let in three goals in one period then recovered and didn’t let in one in the third and gave his team the opportunity to win the game.
Ingram was atrocious and the only reason the game was close from the ducks side. He played in a first round game like skinner always did.
Rose colored glasses here. You guys are delusional. Against a better team you get crushed. Anaheim has been terrible and you made them look good last night.
If skinner was in net . We lose that
He had a low event first period. Didn’t really get into the game.. disastrous second period, great saves in the third. At the end of the day….Oilers can’t ice the puck that many times at the end, or figure out a way to score in the open net. We got extremely lucky.
He was pretty shakey but he composed himself
Just like Fuhr, makes the saves when it counts.
