Stuart Skinner Had To Master The Mental Game En Route To The NHL

Who else is here after his Game 4 shutout?
LETTTS GOOOO SKINNERRRRRRR WOOOHOOOO
Man’s literally a brick wall tonight!!!!
Me
Really good performance but the defence was just as good.
Meeee
Such a great video for Skinner about anxiety and him being so up front about it. 👍
dickhead couch jockeys (and media losers) attacking him/his social media about a position they never played probably never helped the guy out either.
Here after the 1-0 shutout win in game 4 against LA... Skinner is a beast
No matter up or down, stuuu is loved here in Oil country
Agreed!
Skinner definitely locked in this season
I’m a Canucks fan and I can happily say it’s good to see him being able to deal with his anxiety and succeeding
Man, I have been hard on this guys’ play in net at times but what a guy. Love his attitude and never quit, spirit. Lets go STU 🙌🙌
Skinner showed no anxiety tonight!! Well deserved shut out
I began following the Oils during the 2022 playoffs because they were one of three teams I inherited in a work/hockey pool. Never payed much attention before, but for some reason I fell in love with this team. Looks like there's some good chemistry going on. The kind that can win you a cup. Was a longtime Canadian fan since the days of Ken Dryden. Now I have a new favorite team and a goalie. STUUUUU!!!! I had to get a Premium SPORTNET subscription just to watch these games in the West.
You're part of a special group. Now your next goal should be coming up to Edmonton to watch a game. I have a feeling you'd fall in love with the city and the building and the experience
What an absolute beauty man. I have nothing but respect for his mindset. His calm demeanor gives me great confidence as a fan. He is a good man to follow after
Proud Canadian. Proud Oiler. Proud Edmontonian. You are fantastic Stu Go get your cup, we'll be rooting for you
I love how he sees his mistakes as teachable moments. Yes, he is very critical of himself but I don't feel like he beats himself up. I feel like he self-reflects so he can learn and move on. Or put the broken stick on the wall to remind himself that there's things that outside of his control....
And for the times he’s been a bit rocky, he’s also relatively new to the NHL. Only 14 games prior to last season, where he earned being the starter. He’s only going to improve from here, especially with more playoff experience
I love this team and I love Stuey! Such a beauty. One of his big strengths is, that he has great bounce back qualities. He is not shaken up easily.
What a year hes overcome moreso than any oiler.❤❤❤
LET'S GO STU!!! FIRST PLAYOFF SHUTOUT!!!
I couldn't imagine the pressure of goal tending in Edmonton given our history ESPECIALLY if you've heard the loacl chatter growing up on the ice and in the stands, we're not known for forgiving goalies in Edmonton, but, he's doing it, he's not perfect yet, sure, but I think he's got a bright future, and I would've said the same yesterday before his shut out, he's a beaut, and I'm glad he's wearing our city's(and his) logo.
Nobody will ever be perfect, but the mentality he has for handling adversity is top-tier.
@@emanuelcaparelli couldn't agree more.
And now he dropped a huge shutout. Good for him
Tonight , Skinner Went "Above And Beyond The Call Of Duty"... 💯%
We love you Stuuuuu 🧡💙🧡💙
Proud to say I sold stuey his truck when he signed with the oilers! Great dude
We Love Stuuuuuuu 💙🧡
Great story. Props bro!👊 Hope you boys bring the cup back home! 🇨🇦🏒
I remember watching him play in Lethbridge and he's always been a local favorite. Seeing him traded to swift current was a tough blow. So happy to see him on the oil now!
Been a Oilers fan since my elementary days in 07/08 never really watched hockey until this year, Skinner is just awesome and the shut out yesterday's gaame was great, o Oilers for the cup!!
love ya stew! was fun to watch a game or two with you as Lethbridge hurricane as well!
This was posted a few hours before he shut out the Kings. Damn that’s awesome
Skinner should show the Leafs core how to master the mental game
Ironic that this got posted the same day as a huge playoff shutout. Atta boy skinny 👍
Stu won game 4 for us tonight
The whole team played solid defense
@@dana102083 kinda but it was mostly skinner
Love this ❤
SKINNER IS GOATED, HUGE SHUTOUT!
GAME 3 - 1GOAL, GAME 4 SHUTOUT!!! Let's fckin GOOO. The Kid has become the MANNNN!!!!! STUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Who is here after he had his first shutout in the playoffs?
You should do that again for the next 3 games.
Yea we can tell! Glad youve overcome it.
If the cup is to be won, he needs to get the cup first after the C.
We don’t need Soup.. We need STU!!!
Bro this is the best comment 😂
@bastiangutierrez2188 you just realized we had a soup/stu tandem?
"Da da!" :)
Man I'm glad he grew a mustache
Who’s here after getting pulled?
STUUUU
Ok Keef
Sure, let's pretend he's mastered it...
I feel sorry for the players that play in dreadmonton it's so ugly and boring there
We dont want your negativity here either. Please stay away from edmonton. At leat we made the playoffs, lamer
He’s going to be cooked these playoffs. Oilers won’t win the cup
you won't win at life
found the la fan
you have a sad outlook on the world. Do better
how's this comment aging?
@@mtgrimm6776 like plutonium
I love you stew
