I don’t expect a goalie to win us every game. But you would expect a goalie to on occasion stand on his head and win a game despite the rest of the team playing poorly. Or at least look good enough that you know he could have won if the team in front of him was a notch better. Have not seen either.

These coaching jobs should inherently only last a few years, unless we’re getting top tier performance consistently thru the guy’s tenure. Given how poor the goalie situation has been all the way back to Roloson… yikes. I mean Talbot had one good season and then fell apart. Dubnyk needed to find his game elsewhere.


I'm not that versed in how long goalie coaches survive, but I think we used to fire ones for underperforming back in the day. Dubs seeing his performance crater triggered us to fire the last guy.

Once in a while you hear about a goalie coach with a long tenure, like the guy Nashville had, when Nashville seemed to be a goalie factory pumping out goalie after goalie. That guy even was a part of kicking Dubs in the butt about all his bad habits which was part of his half year process to get his game back together.

Guess could do more research to see if there are other coaches that just linger around through a decade of seeing 95% of goalies all regress on the same team. Maybe some other teams are as complacent as us.


One thing is clear, this org doesn't have a clue about goaltending still. That Campbell contract could hurt for quite a while and almost all goalie analytics were flashing caution for him before we signed him, historically poor high danger sav%. Skinner's confidence looks like it's just staying bottomed out too after a whole summer with the power of the Schwartz.
