Stuart Skinner’s BEST Games Rated by Quality Start Meter

Stuart Skinner’s BEST Games Rated by Quality Start Meter

Ree, do you have the Stewart Skinner quality starts meter? I like what Liam’s cooking up here. I like So, as you guys know, I’m against save percentage. I just don’t think it’s a very good stat because the goalies can’t control it. But, I have created the Steuart Skinner quality start meter and this is where we’re at so far. So, I want to as a group, let’s work through this a little bit. Ree, I think this would be a good time for a poll in the chat. So, right now, thumbs down obviously is a bad start. We all remember the Calgary Flames game. It was bad because Stewart’s going to let in a terrible goal which borderline borderline solid until that mistake, but that mistake so ass mega ass against the Rangers obviously a shut out. Really good. The Islanders gave the Oilers a quality start and played really well. BA let him down. I know the players do. I shouldn’t just put it all on Bush, but he let him down. Now we’re at the Detroit Red Wings. So we’re doing this with the Detroit Red Wings game last night. Pretty good. Then the what was it? The third goal comes in. Yep. And questionable. I will say this. I have two takes on this. My take number one, Matias Echome, get out of the way. Shove EMTT Finny who again great great game by Amber of his life. seventh round pick uh from Lethbridge actually played minor hockey on the same line. I remember watching him with uh Zack Benson on the Yale Hockey Academy which is where Ryan Nan Hopkins brother coached. So there you go. A little connection there. Little scout right there. A little scout scout action. So there you go. The Detroit Red Wings is a gamer at I am going to put this one. I don’t know what to do on this one because Oh, my other take of it was Echo, move that guy out of the way and give Skinner a clear way to lock the other one. Oh, sorry Reese. You got to put a third one in there. You got to give it a uh neutral like he it doesn’t It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t good. He was in the middle. So, we’ll do that. 67. That’s right. I think that’s French. Come see him. Sounds about right. Detroit Red Wings goal. If you stay on your post, probably doesn’t go in. I don’t think he had any idea where the puck was, which is also on Skinner. So, let’s give us your votes. Uh there we go. Someone said JW said, “Can we get a soo so?” cuz then we’ll just put like a hand and we’ll figure this out and we’ll go through it like that. Um I like the idea of you doing this all season long. I think it’s a good way to because you’re right and it’s the frame phrase I use as box score hunters. People who just go through they look at a case below 900 slap the ass stamp on it there and say it was a bad game. I think there’s there was good yesterday in Stuart Skinner. There’s a theme here, Liam, for the Oilers that in the first two or three minutes of the game, they absolut absolutely crap down their leg and turn the puck over and Steuart Skinner needs to bail him out bright and early in the hockey game. It was 000 in the first period. It was Stew find a way to get it done and then obviously that third goal. It’s a combination of things. I do think very smart headsy play from Dylan Larkin to just turn and burn, throw that puck on the net. Maybe Ree actually, can you pull up the eyelet? I think it’s the three 3-1 goal. It was against the Detroit Red Wings there yesterday, but as you see Matias, like Steu’s face is in just the direct spine of Matias. Like he can’t see anything there, but then it’s kind of bad timing cuz Steu picks up, tries to move to get around the screen of Ekholm and Finny over there. What you want from your Viking there is to stick maybe a nice twig in Finn’s back, get him out of that area. It’s once again just kind of snowballed very quickly there. And on top of it, that’s a smart play from Dylan Lurin. He’s a good hockey player. Those are the goals. That’s captain right there. But I don’t know on this. I think I want to go, you know, like Gladiator. I feel like I’m just doing I’m just doing this right now. I’ve been judging it, too. But like we’re not taking him out back. We’re not doing the walking Phoenix or anything. I think I want to be like this slightly above come see I don’t I don’t know if I can give it a full thumbs up because of that that one right there. But also once again if you’re going to look at me and tell me that Doilers lost this game yesterday because of Stuart Skinner. We can’t have a conversation cuz that’s not the case. Uh Brian puts in there elite versus the Rangers average versus the Islanders. I would bump it up to like good against the Islanders. I mean, he did just get two clean breakaways, and I think the power play goalie Islander scored was actually a pretty decent goal as well. What’s up, Nation citizens?
