Thing is, it’s not Skinner. Or what he does himself…
Skinner knew the guy had time for 1 shot and drove him to a place where he couldn’t score… the puck was going parallel to the goal line, but Draisaitl deflected it in
Draisaitl doesn’t touch it, game goes to OT
Skinner doesn’t need to stay back for a rebound, there is no time left
He played it fine, Draisaitl scored the winner for the other team
Hilariously no Oiler fans can blame Draisaitl, that’d be sacrilege
Skinner needs out. He’s the closest thing they have to a likeable guy and just doesn’t fit
As for the earlier Reilly goal, I can’t explain why they part like the Red Sea and give opponents a clear path to the net when he is in. It is truly bizarre. But it is just what they did against LA the 2 games he was in.
