“So Skinner… Last night the first two goals on Skinner were just bad-luck goals. The third goal, yes he needs to be smarter with the puck in that situation. Sadly with Skinner’s history, bad-luck goals happen to him often. I do wonder if the Oilers will be goalie shopping by November? Let’s hope not! But maybe a change would be good for Skinner & the Oilers? The NY road trip will say a lot IMO… time will tell.” — Trent Wilhuak via X

“Blowing a three-goal lead off of three weird goals… Yeah. We are so back.” — Leashadawg via X

“Pickard for the next five games please.” — Shae_Nuge93 via X

“Welcome to Edmonton, Connor Ingram!” — CPFCDoyle via X

“Everyone needs to calm down. A pure luck goal, a goal that was a high stick and should have never been allowed, and a blunder by the defenseman. Only the third he had a chance at saving. Such a toxic fan base we have.” — Lawrence Wood via X

“We gotta trade Skinner, this is too much man. I can’t defend this man anymore.” — Pride Mwenga via X

“Fire Skinner into the sun.” — Schmiddy the GOAT via X

“New year, same Skinner.” — Brodeur via X

“I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say the Oilers are a goalie away.” — Spud McKenzie via X

“The only team that can beat the Oiler are the Oilers.” — tylerfcknalton via Instagram

“All three of their goals were flukes. One of them was a high stick, too.” — pmboii via Instagram

“Man, what a performance honestly, except for one person.” — alexbenoit_14 via Instagram

“Objectively better than last year’s opener.” — jay_vayeh via Instagram

“Calgary had three of the luckiest goals you can score in a game!!! Horrific shootout, too.” — jariuswiebe via Instagram

“Won’t be a fun season if Skinner keeps going the way he did last night.” — Stefan Nagy via Facebook

“I am definitely NOT a Skinner hater. But last night’s game was very, VERY disappointing. That was two points that should have been in the bag. Overtime NEVER should have happened. He made some great saves in OT and in the shootout… but if you want to know which team’s goaltender played the better game, it wasn’t even that close.” — Craig Hall via Facebook

“The immediate and painful reminder that all our fears are still legitimate: we cannot win a Cup with Skinner.” — Matthew B. Jorge via Facebook

“Everyone blaming Skinner needs to give their head a shake. He played a good game. First goal was a fluke, second goal should have been called off, but that was a turnover from Nurse (shocker). Third one, okay, he can take the blame for that. He went eight rounds in the shootout. The team went to sleep during the second period; it’s a group effort.” — jr3id__ via Instagram

“I won’t be thinking about it, no,” Skinner said, per Sportsnet’s Mark Spector. “It happens. It’s probably the easiest fix I’ll make this year. A quick decision, throw it in the corner, that’s that.”
