So if it's the goalies coaches fault for Campbell, how does one explain Skinner? Schwartz would have had a huge hand in his development and it appears the Oilers have developed a home grown starter.
I am not sticking up for Schwartz because the Oilers have a problem here with Campbell but I am just asking a question if he's bad at his job then Skinner should be lousy as well but he's not. The whole Campbell situation is baffling to me. He looks to be unplayable again which I don't understand how that happened as he looked to have figured out his game coming out of Christmas and it literally looks like a switch got flipped.

Not blaming Schwartz exactly but just an observation, Skinners game has been a lot more up and down the longer he has been with the big club. So many reasons it can happen, like just the stress of a workload he has never had at the NHL level. Having a kid never seems to help an Oilers goalie. Maybe the team in general has been slowly chipping away his confidence a bit by playing like ass for him most of the year and trying much harder when Campbell was in net (that may have swung finally in the last couple weeks). The org overall was showing clearly how desperate they were for Campbell up be the guy which I'm sure Skinner was not blind to. The need to try to justify a huge contract is a dangerous thing.
Overall though I think skinner's game has degraded a bit through the season. Still the way better option than Campbell of course. Hopefully Skinner can get on a nice run leading up to the playoffs.

It's definitely disappointing with Campbell. I wasn't expecting him to give the Oilers vezina goaltending, I just felt pretty confident when he was signed that he'd be capable of giving them middle of the pack goaltending which I felt was enough for a team like the Oilers. Pair him with Skinner who I thought could also give them middle of the pack goaltending (which he has) and they would be fine.
Playing in a Canadian market isn't easy. There is way more expectations from the fans, way more attention from the fans and way more scrutiny and attention from the media than the majority of American markets. Coming from Toronto, a market that would easily match if not beat Edmonton in those areas of attention and scrutiny, plus how they played over the years which was more offensive and not as defensive as other team while also having a defense that I would say wasn't high end, just like the Oilers, and he put up middle of the pack numbers, I didn't see a reason why he couldn't just repeat what he did previously. But his game looks gone.
