How are some who were worried about Skinner after game 2 feeling now?
A poster in here said after his 14 career playoff games, he was almost the worst playoff goalie in the NHL since the early 2000's.
After the 2 games in LA where he gave up 1 goal, 2.48 and .919. So that's good right?
|
I stated a fact. The fact has now changed slightly - he was worst in both save % and GAA on the cap era. On the strength of the last 2 games he has now moved ahead of Kari Lehtonen for the 2nd worst save % i(still last for GAA). No spin - just facts. Don't let them hurt your feelings too much.
Let me remind you that I am the founding member of the Skinner booster club here. Nobody wants to see him succeed more than me. But he sucked for the most part in the playoffs last year, and he wasn't great the first 2 games here. And I don't want the team (and certain "fans") to get stuck in this mindset that the starter's role is set for the playoffs regardless of performance, as it obviously was last year.
As for this game - Skinner maybe didn't need to be prime Hasek last night, but he was solid. Made all the stops we expect him to make, plus a few very good ones. Certainly has looked better the last 2 games. Let's hope he keep it up. Another 15 game win streak would be perfect.

We can agree to disagree if you like but I think basing your opinion on if a goalie can or can't do it in the playoffs when at the time of your post, he only had 14 career playoffs games ever and 12 of them were from his first year as an NHL start, in my opinion is kind of short sighted.
1 year in the playoffs isn't a ton of experience in my opinion. So I felt he deserved the benefit of the doubt longer than 2 games this year before throwing up the red flag of having a problem. He played extremely well in the next 2 games. Does that mean he's going to win the Conn Smyth? No but it indicates to me, he has the ability to play very well in the playoffs. The big thing now is he needs to show he can keep doing it. We shall see.

Can't go crazy giving a final say on what players are or will do with our play against LA. This should be the 3rd time we outclass this team. We had adjustment issues each time we faced them, but in the end, we beat them pretty convincingly each time when we actually played like we can, and hopefully we do it again in game 5.
Where all our team issues come up and where we see if we fixed them come later against the really good playoff teams. No luck coming like we had in 2006. It looks likely we will have to play 3 very very good teams this year for a chance to win it all. Likely round 2, a team that owned us in the regular season. Round 3, one of 2 teams that beat us and really picked us apart and exposed our weaknesses last 2 playoffs, then went on to win a cup. Don't even want to think about finals lol.
