Goalie win for Van. Demko with some big stops and didnt get the more routine one from Koski. Not sure how the ref had sight of the 1st Van goal, or how a stick actually pushed it in. I thought the Oil had the bigger chances.
The next game is huge, and Koskinen will NOT be the starter.

I think Koskinen should have had the second one, but he's not really to blame for the loss. Just one of those nights where the team deserved better. Demko had an out of body experience and channeled his last year's playoffs for an evening.
Interesting stat I saw from Bruce McCurdy today - since Smith's return, save percentage for Koskinen has been the same as Smith's. Won't be any worse after tonight. While Seravalli is nominating Smith for the Vezina, it's worth remembering he's had 7 of his 11 starts against non-playoff teams.
I am terrified that the Oilers management can't see this and just figures that Smith really worked on his craft and he's now a Vezina calibre goalie and they don't need help in the crease.
