The Oilers regular season is right around the corner, and Stuart Skinner has his eyes set on redemption.
After suffering a tragic game 7 loss in the Stanley Cup finals at the hands of the Florida Panthers, Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner has a massive chip on his shoulder. Although Skinner had stellar performances during the Oil's cup run, he knows there's another level to his game.
«You use that loss,» said Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner. «We got to experience a tough loss, a loss we've been thinking about for the whole summer.
«Just being able to experience that, of going through Game 7, with all that energy, and all that noise, just the whole deal of it, it's pretty amazing. Now, if we get to experience that again, we're hoping to experience that again this year, if we do, we already know how it feels. Taking a nap before Game 7, you're not going to be as wound up as you were this past year.»
«You can't look back at last year and expect that to happen again this year,» said Skinner. «Obviously, we have expectations of how we want to perform. That was last year. This year is a completely different year. We have a different team. Every team in the NHL is a different team.
The Oilers will be looking to get back into the Stanley Finals next year with Stuart Skinner being the pillar between the pipes.
