I don't want Smith to play anymore games but this was a good one to play in for him. A motivated team, they played extremely well. They didn't give up a ton of high end chances from what I thought. A good game for Smith to be in and he played alright. So that's a positive.
|
I expect it'll be Smith again tomorrow, Kostko on Monday and Smith again on Tues.
|
I would go the opposite. I would play Koskinen tomorrow, then Smith on Monday and Koskinen on Tuesday. My reasoning is, you have a good chance tat beating the Devils. You don't have a very good chance at beating the Avs on Monday but a good chance to beat Dallas on Tuesday. I don't want to drive the confidence down of Koskinen if you get shelled by the Avs. The Oilers need Koskinen to be good and there is way more of a chance Koskinen can put together more good games than Smith.
They need to win against the Devils and win against the Stars. So play Koskinen against those 2 teams because he can win and his record says that.
|
Or does playing Koskinen against the better of the two teams boost his confidence? If he gets the Avs game, it is a huge statement.
Still wish we had an upgrade grade on Mikko where he could be a backup and Smith would be a non-story.
|
In all serious, what games do you think the Oilers have a realistic chance of winning? Devils and Dallas? So it would make sense to play who you deem your starter in the games you think you can win and need to win.
Could Mikko stand on his head against the Avs? Sure, anything is possible. Would you bet on the Oilers winning against the Avs? I sure wouldn't. Plus Dallas is a team you are fighting for potentially for a wild card, so you need to win that game. So does it not make sense to play the goalie you think will probably give you the best chance to win? I would think so.
It sounds like the Oilers agree with me because Koskinen is supposedly playing tomorrow.
|
So Colorado is the de facto Stanley Cup winner? Concede the playoffs? Concede that we cannot beat, the Avs and hope by chance someone else beats them?
