  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.

  21. @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!

  26. @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).

  31. @jimlil It’s my only disappointment with GM Stan Bowman so far, that he placated Oilerville and it’s irrational demand to “solve the goalie problem.”
    As for regretting the trade, I regretted it the moment it was made, Dec 12. How well will it age? That should come clear this spring as both Penguins and Oilers look to be heading for the playoffs, with “new” goalies in net. One goalie with an impressive playoff (and especially clutch game) WIN%, the other not so much.
