Skinner's numbers are worse than Pickard's but he's also played all the good teams, and left most of the games against the scrubs to his backup (again showing that the Oilers have fully embraced the 1990s approach to goaltending).

The only apples to apples comparison I can think of is against Vancouver last year. Playoffs, mostly the same roster on both team for all 7 games.
Skinner: 283 minutes played, 15 goals against. .833, 3.18
Pickard: 136 minutes played, 5 goals against. .915, 2.21
I get the trepidation about Pickard being a career backup. But what the hell has Skinner done to give you so much faith in him?
Pickard played great in the playoffs last year.
That go ahead goal by Garland last year in game 1 - NONE of the ones on Pickard were close to that bad. I just watched the 5 goals Skinner let in that game.
First one, out of position and slow to get across.
Second, scored from behind the net. Stinky
Third, post not sealed (crazy how many go in on him there)
Fourth, that one was pretty good. Good shot from the point, lots of bodies, may have deflected.
And that famous fifth goal by Garland - just brutal.
And for fun I went to look at the 5 Pickard let in over 2+ games
First - screened and deflected twice. No chance.
Second - 5 people in and around the crease and bounced off a leg. Not much chance
Third - Bunch of bodies in front and screened. Probably the most stoppable of the 5. Looked like the 4th on Skinner from game 1.
4th - Bouchard serves up a huge pepperoni pizza from point blank. No chance.
5th - crazy hard deflection off Petterson's skate on a hard pass across, off the post and right onto Miller's stick. No chance.
You could argue that Skinner has had more great games than Pickard (I don't necessarily agree, but MAYBE). But Skinner lets in a LOT more bad goals than Pickard. They are just killers. Pickard, though he may not stand on his head (he has a few times), he doesn't let in many bad goals. He is closer to the Osgood type guy we need IMO than Skinner.
