I don't know if we win that game with Koskinen or Smith in goal. Skinner was huge early on - 0 chance we come out of those first 5 minutes unscathed with one of the other 2 guys back there.
Ryan looking like a completely different player on the wing. Enjoyed seeing Woodcroft throw McDavid out there with Benson and McLeod - they had a few good looks. Would be nice to get those two going.
Anyway - this was a lot more enjoyable than anything in December. Now an even bigger game tonight.

Agree 100%. Smith or Koskinen in net, this is a completely different game. The team plays so differently with either of those 2 in net. How Tippett or Holland failed to see this is beyond me.

Not to beat a dead horse, but last summer if I would have told you:
1) We are going to give up assets to get Duncan Keith AND the Hawks will retain 0
2) With over $20M in cap space and more goalies available than any season in NHL history between UFAs and players exposed for expansion, that we would be starting the season with the same Smith and Koskinen tandem
You would have rightfully called me crazy. Mind boggling to me
Anyway - to me, Skinner inspires WAY more confidence than the other 2 combined. He had a couple of not great games, but overall I feel he has looked way better than either of the other 2. Their numbers seem to support that
Skinner: .913%, 2.62GAA
Koskinen: .900, 3.15GAA
Smith: .901%, 3.50GAA
If they could get a guy like Varlamov to waive his NTC to come here, Skinner backing him up in a 52-30 kind of split would IMO be a great tandem the next 2 years - good enough to compete for a Cup provided we fix the holes on D. He (Varlamov) has been good to great everywhere he played and has another year left - I would pay a decent amount to get him here, especially if Koskinen was going the other way (and have Smith retire or something, though he did have a great game his last outing)
