Well, playing the backup for a game didn't make the sky fall, like certain posters were practically guaranteeing earlier today.

Are you still grouching that other people aren't fawning over all the team's decisions?
He let in 5 goals and likely ends his NHL career with well under .900 save percentage, despite playing against the worst team in the league. Fortunately, the team was able to outscore their problems.

.868 tonight

That's not a real outlier to some of the lesser Koski, Smith and other performances we've seen through the years.

Yep - every goalie can have a bad night. The problem for a prospect is when it's the norm.
Skinner has two years with games in the ECHL and the WHL. He's played 44 ECHL games and 47 AHL games and he's below .900 in both leagues in that time. I didn't see anything last night that gave me any confidence that he's somehow going to be much better at the NHL level - at least, not any time soon.
We were playing the worst team in the league, so if you're going to play a substandard goalie, that's the time to do it, but it's worth noting that Ottawa scored over 20% of their output for the first 9 games of their season last night on Skinner. It's easy to get caught up on the feel-good aspect of a guy's first NHL game and first win, or to let him off the hook for the goals against because some of them were pretty good shots (although two of the shots he should have been able to see and stop and the first goal came as a result of a bad rebound he spilled up the middle on a long unscreened shot). However, let's not kid ourselves. From that appearance and from the significant amount of history we have of Skinner as a pro, he's not an NHL goalie at this point in time and has a lot of work to do to even get close.
