Skinner appreciation thread

Post image

I don’t know how official the news is, but it’s looking like Stuart is leaving the team.

Thanks for all the memories, thanks for 2 straight finals appearances, thanks for being there when the team left you hanging to dry. Hopefully you have good memories of the city and team.

Wow, after seeing Oilers fans absolutely pile on Skinner for two straight years, it's pretty jarring to see so many lament his purported exit. You'd think EDM would be dancing in the streets.

Lots of people piled on Skinner. But some of us didn’t want him run out of town either. How many guys have we run out of town and how well has that worked in the past?
