You're pretty cool. Lame my rear end. It's a legit thing to discuss.

Discussing who should get more starts is a legit thing to discuss (right now it's Skinner, obviously). Sending Campbell down to the minors is NOT a legit thing to discuss.
Campbell's struggles are mental. He is the more athletic goalie, and when he is on his game he is one of the best in the league. Have you never seen that? He stoned the Oilers more than once when he played for the Leafs. Do you have poor memory, or are you choosing to ignore his good outings? Currently he needs to work on moving less and squaring up to the shooter (i.e., take more in the chest instead of trying to catch everything). His rebounds might suffer in the short term but it will get his confidence up again. The defense also needs to play more controlled in front of him to help him along. It seems like they play more loose in front of him, expecting him to make the acrobatic saves that he is capable of (which Skinner isn't). An easy game where he only needs to make 20 easy saves for a win would go a long way help his confidence.
Skinner is also benefitting from the league not having a book on him yet. He's big and he plays his angles well (reminds me of JS Giguere in style), but he's not perfect and I think he will have long rough patches too. For one, he goes down too early and leaves holes beside his ears.

Not passing the blame from Campbell as he has to be better but I wonder if part of his struggles are a mindset of him thinking he has to make miraculous saves based on how the team plays? You watch how they play in front of Campbell and the amount of wide open guys that are just standing near the goal ready to fire is ridiculous which I believe you don't see when Skinner is in. So is Campbell at times not as set as he should be because in his mind he's thinking I have to get across in a hurry to try and stop the wide open guy that no one bothers to cover?
