Who got it right in reacting to Stuart Skinner’s ugly mistake in Game 1 against the Calgary Flames ? Skinner, Knoblauch or critics inside and outside the media, fans and commentators alike? Article content

The Oilers had dominated the game, but the Flames came back due to two somewhat flukey goals, an own goal deflection off the skate of Edmonton centre Noah Philp and an iffy, borderline batted-down goal by the Flames. That made it 3-2 Oilers heading into the third when Skinner made his gaffe. After a dump-in bounced off his pads, he had a chance to clear it to the corner, but he and Oil defender Evan Bouchard both let it sit long enough for Flames forward Blake Coleman to pounce on it and score a sickly goal on a nothing play.
