AWESOME game by Skinner. I think we have a winner. Home grown.
McDavid going all ET again. His NYR goal was #1.. this one is #2.
Turris.. I guess that is why we have him.
Oh... forgot to mention.. that PK is freaking unreal.
A silver lining of the Smith injury is that the Oil get a golden opportunity to evaluate Skinner's potential to play in the NHL, and have a better idea what to do in the off season.

Good point on the Smith injury. It's early but if Skinner can establish himself as a legit NHL goalie, there is your dirt cheap at worse back up for next season. I'd give him the start next game for 2 reasons. 1 he earned it. 2 I think Koskinen plays much better when he he feels pressure for ice time. With Smith going down and the unknown of Skinner, I don't think Koskinen was feeling a ton of pressure that he was going to lose the net. Skinner looking great against a very, very good Jets team hopefully makes Koskinen take notice and refocus.
|
Of the 3, Skinner easily is the one that has played the best. Koskinen had a few really good games, but a few really bad. Smith has been OK.
If it's me, I'm giving Skinner the reins until he stumbles, and even then, I'd let him have one bad game and come back to him to see how he bounces back. Who knows - might be this year's Binnington. Maybe the first ever Oilers Calder winner (9th overall in GAA, 5th in save %)?

Are you in to the sauce early out there in the Maritimes? Or just drunk on optimism?
I hope you're right on Skinner. I don't think Binnington was really an out of no where goalie. He was consistently in the .920+ save percentages, but he is weird shaped, relatively slim for a goalie, and he's a weird guy. I think all that played a role in why it took so long for him to make it.
I don't think that Skinner has the same pedigree, although I'll give him credit - his numbers have improved consistently. It's possible that he could be a real gamer. I hope so - would make life easier for us if we had some found money for a change.
