That game was a grind and too hard for me to watch the whole thing. Guess you could blame Koski for that first goal but other than that he was pretty good. ( well, other than the second high glove goal ) They played well and according to their game plan and pulled out a win so give them credit. Glad to get the point and it was good to see Haas get the goal that got us the point. Our team looked flat footed but probably due to the Cyotes not giving them much room to skate or make plays.


Yeah, you can blame Koski for 2, I think....the one under the blocker arm and the one glove high. We've seen that glove high go by him a lot since he arrived. I wonder if it's a vision thing.



For the second goal. Soderstrom was allowed to walk into the Oilers zone, go right to the inner hash marks of the face off circle, be on his fore hard, fully load up a shot and he went top corner glove side. Based on what I could find, the dimension from goal line to the dot is 20 ft. I am not an NHL coach but I would assume if you put a white board in front of a coach and asked him to mark where the best possible place to shoot from to score a goal, where Soderstrom shot from is it. A little over 20 ft out with time to load up your shot, unless they completely miss their shot completely, I would hope NHLers would score from there pretty much every time no matter who is in goal. I don't think there is physically enough time for a goalie to react in time to a shot that close even if he has a good glove.

I am not trying to stick up for Koskinen because I know his glove hand isn't great but just because a team scores to the glove side on him doesn't mean it's a bad goal. I've seen teams score on Smith glove side with good shots and no one says a word but if ANY goal goes glove side on Koskinen, it's a crap goal.
