I found this Stuart Skinner facial expression funny and appropriate today for a number of reasons. I'll get to the reason for the title in a second, but the biggest reason was because the man making the facial expression was traded in what was being described as a "blockbuster" trade by pundits hours before an actual blockbuster trade happened.

This isn’t the first time the Edmonton Oilers have given up on a 27-year-old goaltender. On Friday morning, the Oilers sent Stuart Skinner (along with Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick) to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Tristan Jarry and Sam Poulin. In my eyes, this is a lateral move in terms of skill, with…

Heck, he played six playoff games in 2022 with only 14 regular season games under his belt. He did it in hometown…

The other day, I had a question I was wondering about: How often does a team that’s .500 or worse in December manage to still make the playoffs? And I was surprised by what turned out to be the answer: All the time. No, literally, it happens every season.
