... and then there's our actual goaltending....
Skinner is getting alot of heat, and maybe some deserved. But in the context of Holland signing Campbell to be the starter and that exploding. Skinner was the backup and he's lived up to that. This is Bowman's mess to cleanup now.
We're trying to rub two backups together and hoping for a starter, which has never worked.

18 games into 24/25:
Record: 9-7-2
SH% (all situation): 8.33% (2nd worst)
SAV% (all sit): 0.875 (3rd worst)
PDO (all) : 0.958 (lowest in league)
18 games into 23/24:
Record: 5-12-1
SH% (all situation): 8.82% (5th worst)
SAV% (all sit): 0.863 (worst in league)
PDO: 0.951 (2nd lowest, SJ 0.947)
End of 23/24:
Record: 49-27-6
SH% (all situation): 10.56% (10th best)
SAV% (all sit): 0.898 (17th)
PDO: 1.003 (16th)
Last year I do think the "man on man" thing really handicapped our start. Some crazy blowouts where everyone on the ice just looked incompetent really tanked our sav% beyond any recovery. Campbell was also adding to the mess.
I think this year Skinner has been even worse than he started last year. His sav% was lower last year, but 3 games against the Canucks that the entire team was in on tanking really skewed his stats. The team overall is playing much better hockey to start this year, but with "bad luck" taken to a whole new level. Still finding more ways to win though, and outshooting opposition 2:1 a lot of nights is one way to still manage to find ways to win when your SH% and sav% are absolute garbage.
Need the "luck" to flip like last year where we ended up almost perfectly average in terms of SH%+sav+. Hopes and prayers it happens. Got a better record to this point if it does to actually have a shot at the division for once. Part of the "luck" though is Skinner somehow finding a magic mental space again.

Skinner is in a funny spot. He's had time with McDavid and Drai, but even though xGF positive in that time, he has 0 GF and 1 GA with Drai, and 1 GF and 6 GA in 22 shots against with McDavid. His McDavid time has been cursed basically. 0.727 sav% when Skinner+McDavid together on the ice.
If Skinner isn't getting ice time with good offensive players, he's not likely to accomplish much. But if his time with McDavid or Drai is just going to be zero luck max pain results. Guess the coach isn't gonna like that either.
