Does Knob have the sack to start Pickard next game?
|
He won't..
|
Skinner since those 2 really good games against LA:
.857
.792
.842
.733
He’s had 2 really good games, a couple OK, and several not good. I would start Pickard
|
See, if this was a couple years ago, and we'd had rookie Skinner who had played well in the regular season and you had Mike Smith faltering (which of course, we did), then I would be pretty tempted to go ahead and put him in - I mean, maybe you have him step up - we didn't have a lot of visibility on ceiling and other teams wouldn't have had a lot of a book on him.
But Pickard is 32 years old. His numbers this year were his best since Connor McDavid was a sophomore and even then, his save percentage was only .909 - not exactly unbeatable. He has actually never played a minute of a post-season game until last night. He has no track record even at lower levels. He's 1-2 in five AHL playoff appearances. He was 1-4 in five WHL appearances and 2-2 in the Manitoba U18 league...and that's it. That's the sum total of his experience.
He just is a complete long shot to come in and have a playoff for the ages. We are better off hoping that Skinner somehow catches lightning in a bottle again and plays like he did in our winning streak again. That's maybe a longshot, but it's happened, and recently. Pickard has nothing on his resume to compare.
I'm with CrusaderPi on this - if Pickard shines, then the coach looks good, but if he came in and also underwhelmed, then what card do you have left to play?
|
We lose 1 more and it's probably over, so nothing to worry about after that :)
One thing for sure, Skinner has been a completely mess in net for all but maybe 1 or 2 games in the playoffs. Even that 1-0 win, lots of analytics say we actually got the majority of good chances in that game and all we needed as a shooter tutor in net because the Kings were shooting trash from long range all night.
0 confidence goalie that can't stop anything that doesn't just hit him. Or career mediocre backup that has barely touched NHL ice in playoffs. Decisions decisions.
We are in the final moments of the fully cultivated plan of a 5 year x $5M GM.
