So - they go with Pickard next game? 3 wins in a row. .938% and 1.67GAA over those games.

Yeah but Skinner played a good playoff game once against Dallas!
|
I don't understand the commitment to the guy. I was a very early Skinner booster, and I still think he makes a great backup., but I just don't have much confidence in him as a #1.
Even after being on the team that went to game 7 of the finals, no goalie with as many GP this century has a worse save %. He is dead last at .894 (2nd worst is Emery with .902). GAA is 5th worst. I know those are just cherry picked stats, but they mirror what I see. Someone who will have a great game now and then, but more often than not needs his team to outscore his play.
|
I'm known to have a short memory in regard to goalies, but I have to admit that I couldn't agree more.
|
Of all the obvious unforced errors the Oilers have made in the McDavd era, goaltending is the worst. Just rolling with Smith / Koskinen for 3 years then betting the farm on Campbell / Skinner for 1 before going Skinner / Pickard for 2 is a parade of trying to only be good enough. Box checking at its finest.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
