Do you recall round 1 2023? Did he outplay Campbell? They kept playing 74 and it almost cost them the series. And he was unbelievably probably worse in the next round. Meanwhile the guy who gave them the better chance to win sat on the bench because god forbid skinner not be given every conceivable opportunity.
And they have been basically alternating the last 6 weeks or so - due to injury yes but playing pickard at this point isn't some crazy reach. The team is comfortable with him and IMO he gives them a better chance to win than 74.
Anyway pickard is going to play at some point. Just a question of how deep of a hole do they dig before they do it.
If you think an alternating split would have been better than what are we talking about? He's the number 1 because it gets repeated a bunch?

This is pretty revisionist.
Campbell was a complete basketcase here. He was completely dreadful all season, and while he got one big win in relief against the Kings, even there he was a circus. He looked beatable ALL the time...just flopped around and it somehow worked out.
It's notable that he was very quickly in the NHL's substance abuse program shortly after his time here. Either he was struggling because of some addictions or he self-medicated due to some of his failures at the time, but I think it's pretty clear that he wasn't in the mental head space to play here and certainly not to take us to the Finals.
Again - it was a massive failure of the Oilers to have the two options be a raw rookie and a guy who was clearly an error to sign.

It's not revisionist. I said at the time that they should have gone back to Campbell that series. Because he stopped pucks and gave the team a better chance to win.
Speaking of looking beatable all the time - Skinner might be the slowest NHL goalie I've ever seen. Im guessing the other team notices as well. Not ideal.
