Wow: 13 to 33 shot's. This game was won by Skinner! Honest respect for this incredible performace!

[@humanbeing2420]

@SevenAcid No - A shot on goal is any shot that reaches the goaltender or scores. Shots that are blocked, go wide or high or hit the posts are not counted. It's clearly defined - that's what the stat reflects. There are other, possibly better, ways to measure offensive activity overall, but that's a separate issue.

[@odoaceroftheneoromanempire7178]

The vast majority of the shots were perimeter shots because the Oilers always had sticks in lanes and were blocking shots. Skinner played great, but the big forwards like McDavid and Draisaitl and some of the depth D like Desharnais and Kulak were absolutely instrumental in this win too, as they committed themselves to responsible team defense. Desharnais for example would use his size and reach to stifle kings players in the corners and would sacrifice his body on the boards, and McDavid was pickpocketing rushing players and getting his stick in the way of shots. There were only 2 or 3 really good chances the Kings had and Skinner brushed them aside.

[@x420gamedx4]

He means they literally add shots and take them away all game the person doing the shot counting has no idea what's going on

Oilers badly outshot 13-33 somehow manage to pull off a shutout 1-0. Skinner came up huge, looked really sharp tonight, I think thats a huge confidence boost.

[@HighSpeedForLives]

It was 1-0 after 9-15 shots and then the Kings struck 4-18, yet the Oilers had the best scoring chance.

[@taters1123]

Skinner STOLE this one, the best oiler tonight by far

[@SaveznaRepublikaJugoslavija]

20 less shots but we win! Lol I'll take it

[@Star-95777]

He honestly did bounceback after game 2

[@jaydee8864]

Skinner didnt have to face many grade A shots. It was the defense clogging the lanes that was the difference.

[@MattAlbie]

@@jaydee8864 Yup. Stu was a big part of it obviously, but these Oilers know how to clog up the slot. The Kings kept getting it into the zone, but the Oilers never let them setup anything dangerous.

[@SaveznaRepublikaJugoslavija]

Let's go Skinner, he got us this game for sure! Haven't seen a performance like this in goal in a while

why do the oilers have zero injuries?????

Nothing better than a 1-0 final with great goal tending on both ends . I know the oilers only had 13 shots but but they had multiple great scoring chances on those shots

respect skinner, the whole fn show.

[@thedungeon1578]

This was what Edmonton hasn't gotten their last few playoff runs - the goalie stealing them some wins. They've had games the goaltender has been decent and they've won the games they should have, they've had games they should have won but the goalie cost them. But this is one they had no business winning, but Skinner shut the door. Best player for either team tonight, by far.

[@Rich-wx3tx]

As a leafs fan, smartest move Hyman could have made for himself was leaving that disaster. A career year, and what looks like a real chance to go all the way! Someone get that cup back to Canada!!

Герой матча - Скиннер! Первый плей-офф шотаут в карьере! Отлично Стью! Так держать!

[@ThatsFirePower]

33-13 shots on net for Kings, desperate times for Kings. Rittich had an easy night, Stu turned into Grant Fuhr for tonight

[@TH-tl6sy]

Meh Oilers had more 5 alarm shots and Grade A scoring chances were almost the same. Oilers kept LA to Perimeter shots. But considering the softies Skinner can let in some nights it's not a bad strategy to just shoot from anywhere.

[@rorylemke1088]

I kind of agree, but 1 goal on 13 shots is still good. My opinion might be coloured by the fact that Dave is a good person. He's super personable and does charity work and stuff.

[@quincee3376]

Dave who? Sorry.i'm drawing a blank.

[@tylercurrie3800]

Did you watch the entire game. Id hardly day they had no reason winning. L.A. couldnt do a damn thing. Edmonton had them on lock down. Shots were not even that good. Thats Edmonton showing confidence and domination

[@blockland30]

@@tylercurrie3800 Yeah I did. We limited LA to not too many Grade A shots but they still outplayed us. Anytime a team gets only 13 shots and nearly gets tripled in in that department, they don't deserve the win, regardless of defensive effort.
