That's his patented move that's worked for him his entire career. It seems at least a small handful of officials actually watch the film and are wise to this move. It's actually pretty pathetic he would even argue about that when he clearly initiated contact and took down the Devils player.

At least 3 separate talking heads on the broadcast last night ‘ what’s he supposed to do there?’ (Followed occasionally by- he’s the best player in the league !)

Least likeable superstar the league has ever seen.

“What’s he supposed to do”? Maybe not initiate the contact and grab onto the guy and then flop. All away from the play (you really know it’d a dive when he wasn’t going to do anything with the puck anyway).

EDIT: "League"? you mean "world".

That's usually the part of the skit where a big giant hand comes on screen and smacks them upside the head but that just doesn't seem to be happening anymore.

Oilers in the midst of an 8 game homestand. 5 of which they'll be playing a team on the 2nd half of a back to back after playing Calgary the night before. Schedule makers not even trying to even it up at all.

I blame the Flames for allowing this to happen year after year. They should be screaming for equality, even if it means departing from their preferred Tues - Thurs - Sat home games.

And that’s his ‘buddy’ Connor brown he interfered with , the scrub Edmonton brought in to try and appease him. Even Brown was yapping at McTurd.
Brown shouldn’t have even got a penalty. That was all McDiver.

And hrudey was saying the Pens will start silovs tomorrow night. The back-up… would have been great to start skinner against the pigs and have him shut those troglodyte fans up by getting a shutout.

It's pretty bland an uninspiring stuff. It's like she just went through some sweatshop's catalogue, found some generic sports gear, spent about 5 minutes making a label and called it done. The website even says that the products are proudly "printed" in Canada and the garments are sourced from "international global partners", which I assume is a euphemism for sweatshops in 3rd world countries.

The official Team Canada merchandise is supposedly made in Canada, Freed and Freed in Winnipeg.

Disappointed that the Pens started Skinner against us and not the pigs.

Bro deserves redemption.

After 10 games Skinner's rocking the best GAA of his career with a 2.34GAA. That would be good for 6th among NHL goalies. This season with Edmonton he had a 2.83GAA. That would be good for 31st.

It's so obviously a defensive problem up there and I'm so happy they don't realize it.

And if you look at since the Christmas break, he's 0.933 1.58GAA.

meanwhile the Oilers have the bestest goalies ever

I'm surprised the Pens didn't play Silvos last night and Skinner tonight.

No need to give the Oilers bulletin-board bait – or Skinner a flashback.

Have Oilers paid media and fans said Pens are too afraid to start Skinner against them because they know all his flaws and know where to shoot, yet?

That could be part of it. They would definitely know his habits and weaknesses better than anyone. On the flip side, he probably knows the habits of their players more than anyone.

Skinner was brought up in the BoA and they probably considered that there is no other team he would like to beat more than the Flames (other than maybe the Oilers, but that would also come with more pressure).

Why would any of the Oilers know Skinner's weaknesses?

Their best forwards spend so little time in their own end I'd be surprised if they know their goalies' names.
