Oilersnation Podcasters Calls Out Stuart Skinner Haters as Clueless
Oilersnation Everyday podcaster Tyler Yaremchuk called out a portion of the Oilers fan base and describe them as clueless as the podcast defends Stuart Skinner's play as of late.
The podcasters focus onthe body of work that Skinner has done over the past couple of months and even though they do admit his October games where his worst, it's clear that his game bounces back after he has an off night.

Oilers for strong segment of season before 4 Nations Faceoff
The Oilers continued to dominate over the past couple of weeks as the second-half of the season has begun and the Oilers are trying to bank as many points as possible before the February Four Nations face off break.
It's expected the Oilers will also be busy when it comes to potential trades and trade discussion as general manager Stan Bowman will have a couple of weeks to evaluate his roster, talk to his scouts and come up with a plan for the March trade deadline.
The owners will begin a three-game road trip as they will take on the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday January 15th. They will then face the Colorado Avalanche and the Vancouver Canucks. Game time for the Wild will be 8:30 PM eastern.
