Are we still doing the whole “sink or swim” thing with current goaltending or does a highlight game like this maybe signal to management that an upgrade might be beneficial?

The lack of finish this game and previous has been brutal.

Zero...absolutely zero discussion about the need for a goalie

Schwartz and Skinner are protected men.

There will be no trade for a goalie

We need to be absolutely emberassed for a few starts for them to open their eyes. Just brutal goals.

We face almost every starter every night and we need well over 30 shots to win we teams need 20 against Skinner , Pickard has been great this season Skinner lost last game no way he should have started tonight
 
Skinner gets plenty of rope from most here, more than a tandem level goalie should really get, IMO. The flip side to that is a lot of other posters don't have much patience for the player.

He gets defended more than he really needs to be. The stats bear out that he hasn't been nearly good enough this year, and he's been inconsistent since stepping into the league, so it's not like it's a small sample size.
This feels like a myth. I'm not even defending him here, but I'll undoubtedly be accused of it.
