When I watch the Oilers play Campbell, I see way more times when guys are left unmarked vs Skinner. I tend to see more wide open looks when Campbell is in vs Skinner. I see more breakaways given up against Campbell vs Skinner. This is just how I see it. I heard an interview a couple of days ago from Leon saying the team leaves Campbell out to dry vs Skinner. This is coming from his mouth. So..... the free numbers you found don't back up what one of the Oilers stars says they are doing

Very interesting discussion. I feel like I have seen what RDO is seeing too - seems like guys just left alone by the D in wide open shooting spots more often with Campbell than with Skinner. But then the stats Mike shared sure don't seem to flesh it out. I'm confused but not worried.

Also, something is definitely up with Campbell's glove. Pros don't look at their glove after a goal like he has been for nothing.
