Stuart Skinner believes the second heartbreak will be easier to get over than the first.
It’s been two months since the Edmonton Oilers lost again to the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final, but the 26-year-old goalie feels it will be easier to turn the page when training camp begins in September.
“I think going through it the first time, you go through that experience in the summer and then you realize the things you did well and the things you didn’t do well,” Skinner said prior to participating in the Rogers Legends of Hockey event as part of the PGA Tour Champions stop at the Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club on Saturday. “So going through it a second time, which is obviously devastating, but being able to say you went through this does actually help you get over it quicker, just because you have to go back into training and do it all over again.”
