You dared to doubt Koskinen the great! :) Ended up with a 0.921 sav %. Partially thanks to this beauty
hehe, I certainly wouldn't have blamed him for that goal though if it did go in. Where's the D!!!

Yeah, he made me look pretty bad, didn’t he? He ran a tight ship after I opened my big mouth.
Like mentioned earlier (Adam?), media, callers etc are so focused on this sample size since Talbot left.
Is he better without someone competing with him? Is it because Sekera is such a calming influence on the D corps? Is he better because without Talbot, he gets better practice time and focus from the goalie coach? Is he better because he knows he’s THE guy?
I realize it’s boring, but how about coincidence? But no. It just HAS to be because of Talbot leaving. And no. I’m not sold yet. He’s quite a swimmer for a big guy.

I think Koskinen is better than Talbot... now he's finally getting the full lineup (Sekera and Klefbom back - his down period almost exactly coincided with Klefbom's injury (less with Russel's) and now that all are back he's getting the defense Talbot had in 16/17 and and it shows). for me, Koskinen at his best is better than Talbot's best and his worst isn't as bad as Talbot's worst. I can't complain about 20 iffy games with half a defense as much as I wanted to complain about almost 2 full seasons of inconsistency (mostly bad) of Talbot and his 1st shot is free policy. The only thing we don't know about Koskinen is his durability.
