One question. Where are the people giving hat tips to Dustin Schwartz?

Apparently it was his fault the Oilers goalies were bad, now that the Oilers goalies are good, shouldn't the people that called for his head be giving him props now? Skinner is putting up vezina numbers and has for months. Skinner is breaking Fuhr records. Pickard was lighting it up in the minors and has come up and given the Oilers decent back up goaltending. Rodrigue is lighting it up in the minors. Even Campbell has potentially started to turn it around. The main goalie coach would have a hand in every one of those guys, especially at the NHL level. So..?

Because people can see beyond 30 games.

So then if it's just 30 games. How do you explain last season? Oilers drafted and developed goalie comes in, takes over the starters job, goes to the all star game and gets nominated for rookie of the year. Skinner has a rough first month, then has been lights out since putting up numbers. If he continues, he will probably get vezina votes as he's been take good. So how do you explain the body of Skinners work if Schwartz is a horrible coach and had no positive impact. Or Pickards play that has bee outstanding in the minors and pretty decent in the NHL or Rodrigues work that' has been very good since turning pro and keeps getting better. The goalie coach for the NHL team would have input and work with all of them. So fluke?

I just find it pretty hypocritical that fans are ready to jump on someone when things go bad but it's crickets when things are good and they aren't able to admit that maybe their uninformed opinion was wrong. I say uninformed because none of us work for the team, none of us played at a high enough level to be NHLers, none of us work as coaches, none of us are there hearing/seeing what they are being told and most of us probably never even played the position to even have a chance of knowing what they are talking about. Yet many think they are experts.

I am of the opinion that if a fan is going to rip on a player, coach or manager which they are entitled to do when things are going bad, they should be man enough to give them credit when things are going good.

Rodrigue’s goalie coach is his father and Campbell brought in his own (Manny Legace). Schwartz’s and other NHL goalie coaches influence from what I’ve understood is non-existent in the minors.

If you were to look at Schwartz’s entire time with the Oilers from an outsiders perspective then one would likely surmise that Skinner is an anomaly or has somehow survived Schwartz.

Schwartz’s portfolio is not good.
