I have to disagree here. I think Koskinen has been excellent at best and mediocre at worst. I don't think he was really bad in the playin (Smith definitely was bad there!), and without SnowAngel on defense, and a healthy Klefbom (he was terrible but now we know injured) the Oilers are at least in the 2nd round of the actual playoffs.

.889 save percentage, allowing 11 goals in 3 and a half games on 99 shots against including a lot of struggles in handling long shots from the point and controlling rebounds.

19 of those shots (and 18 of his saves) came in game 1 when Smith had already lost the game for the Oilers by the time he took the net, so in the other 3 games, he allowed 10 goals on 80 shots - good for .875 save percentage and ~3.33 GAA (slightly off due to empty nets)

If you look at any NHL goalie you can say they're excellent at best - most have had some good games where they got shutouts, but it's been rare for Koskinen to hold that for any period of time. Worth noting in the article RDOF shared, he played way less games than anyone else in his comparison set.

If the thought is that Koskinen had a mediocre first campaign and a better second campaign so maybe his trajectory is up, I think it's important to remember how old he is. Guys on the wrong end of 30 rarely get better and better. Last year is probably peak performance and he wasn't good enough that the coach had confidence to use him in even half the games, or to start him as the first guy out in the playoffs - and that's despite the fact that most shooter tutors stop more than Mike Smith did last year in both regular season and playoffs.

I think you have to be concerned about netminding if you're an Oilers fan, because there's very little to suggest that this is a tandem that can get us anywhere near a championship.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
