Very good game by the Oilers. It's amazing what happens when you as a team shows up and actually tries.
You don't normally say good things about a goalie that gives up 6 goals but without Niemi, this is a 10 or 11 goal game easily. He robbed Leon alone what 5 times.
Solid game all around. Nice to see dmen score some goals. Nice to see 6 different players score. Koskinen looked good.
I would play Koskinen on Saturday and roll with him for a bit if he continues to play well. He's playing well, giving his team a chance to win, he looks confident, his rebound control is really good, the team plays well in front of him and he's just been better than Talbot. The Oilers seem to be a team that NEED to feel good about their goalie. What I mean is if they feel like their goalie will give them the saves when they need them, they play well. Even if the goalie gives up a few goals, as long as those goals aren't bad ones and they feel like he is making the saves he should, they are fine. When they don't feel like their goalie is on, they play like crap. The Habs beat Koskinen with 2 real good goals and it didn't phase the Oilers.
For this team, it has to be about trying to win games, not making Talbot feel better. If Talbot wants to play more, do the work, figure your game out and earn your net back. I was listening to the afternoon show yesterday and apparently Koskinen since he got here has been working with Schwartz every day on angles, positioning and rebound control. He is out there early working on his game. Now maybe they just didn't happen to mention Talbot but I haven't heard anything about Talbot putting in extra work on his game which quite frankly hasn't been that great this year and was lousy for most of last season.
It's still early, I still think his contract is a little much BUT if Koskinen keeps putting in the work and keeps playing well because of it and he gives the Oilers a chance to win, maybe his contract won't look as bad. It especially won't look as bad if he ends up almost splitting games and is the better goalie.
