The guy has been good the whole preseason, he was good in the 2 games he played in, then he puts up a stinker last night. He can't blame it on being overplayed and tired because he'd only started 2 games before that one and had 5 days between starts. Even got a few days off before he practiced. He likes to practice which he got some full practices in. They guys is just baffling at times.
I don't expect elite level goaltending from the guy but in my opinion, he's capable of at least league average goaltending which would have been more than enough last night.

That was league average goaltending. Guys that have a .910 save percentage aren't just average every night. Going into last night's game Koskinen had a save percentage above .940. He was never going to maintain that long term, so either he was going to have a run of 6-8 games where he's slightly below average or he's going to let in 4 goals every few games.
Even after last night, he's still at .926 which is good for 15th in the league right now, and would be a career year for him if he were to maintain this pace for the rest of the season.
Mike Smith, who I believe you think had a really good season last year and ended with a .920 save percentage, let in 4 or more goals 7 times in 30 starts.
I really don't understand what you're expecting from Koskinen here. But if you think he should only ever let in 3 or less goals, then I think you're going to be disappointed.
