  1. @jimlil @olliethewobbly @hnom That’s one of the arguments for goalies 6.5+ height. One, they may be able to see over the players in front of them. Two, with their height and width they fill up most of the net.
    I started watching hockey when only a handful wore masks, and padding was (relative to today’s gear) inconsequential.

  6. Many goalies wonder the same thing about their thick-bodied defenders. A body is, they would say, a better screen than a window on WTF is going on in front of them. But thick-bodied defenders are too often thick-skulled defenders. And, goalies’ views on the matter are seldom welcome.

  16. You’re welcome, though I was not in favour of the trade at the time.
    Rumour now is that Skinner wanted out of Oilerville. The atmosphere for he and fam was very unhealthy. I was glad to see him appreciated by Penguins fans and media.
    As for Jarry, he wasn’t impressed by the laissez-faire defensive play (f-group, not just d-group) in front of him, but was quickly put in his place. Goalies are not allowed to criticize leadership.
    We’ll see whether a now-serious/responsible leadership group gives him (and all goalies) the support they need to succeed.

  17. @buffaloseven @caffeinatedgeek @mike @tedzanzibar D corps were not the problem for Skinner (or Ingram, Jarry, Pickard). F group not playing 200 feet, that was the problem. There were moments last year when that was not the case. Nov 25-Dec 26. In his last five games for Oilers, when F group played as they can, Skinner was .943SV% (5v5).
    So yes, his ceiling is high. Plus, he doesn’t take it personally when his team bails on him. The guy has an amazing mental toughness. Super under-appreciated in Oilerville. Penguins fans and writers seemed to have liked him, from what I saw. Good luck in Winnipeg, Stu!

  18. @caffeinatedgeek @buffaloseven @mike @tedzanzibar As an Oilers fan who is also a Skinner fan it was beyond frustrating how the goalies got blamed for losing SCFs in 2024 and 2025, and a poor November 2025. Goalies were not “the problem.” But all five paid for it in 2025-26. Glad to see Skinner back in Canada. I wish him well with the Jets. If they make to the playoffs, the guy has an amazing clutch record (WIN% in Games 4,5,6,7 notwithstanding the 2024 Game 7 and 2025 Game 6, which losses were not on him).
