Another loose, sloppy game, but we get the two points and that's what matters here.
It's definitely time to play Campbell again. Skinner didn't look great, even with the shot count tonight. Some of those goals were pretty leaky - the kind that if they'd happened to Campbell or Koskinen he'd be lambasted for. He didn't let in six though, so we win!!!

True about Stu leaking a couple and I agree they should start Soup next game if anything to see if he is capable of letting in less than 6 if we actually need him to in the playoffs.

Stu is still our guy come playoffs. Got a point in 25 of the 39 games he has started and I believe 13th best save percentage. He lets in some stinkers at times, but he is a very good goalie. I have lost all hope for Campbell honestly. The guy is just a loss cause.

I would absolutely go in to the playoffs with the expectation that Skinner is the guy. That said, I wouldn't ride him hard down the stretch. There's no need to do that. Our chances of making the playoffs are like 98% right now.
We need Campbell to be part of the team too. We've seen goalies implode in the playoffs (both Smith and Koskinen) and we've seen goalies get hurt in the playoffs (Roloson). You need to have a second guy who's able to step in, and if Campbell barely plays for 6 weeks prior to the post-season, that's not putting him in a position to be successful.
And you're increasing the possibility of Skinner folding or getting hurt if he's the only guy we play. I really hope it's Soup in net for the game against San Jose.
