Interesting comment. I just looked at splits for last season. He was good Oct. Nov, Dec, and April.
Going into the butterfly is not the issue. The issue is he does it a foot inside the blue paint moving backwards. Why? I dunno.
No, once the calendar flipped to April, we where destined to play the kings first round no-matter what we did: Win out the month and we still fall 2 points behind the flames. in order for Vegas to catch us would mean we would had to lose (if my quick math is correct) 6 games more games then we did in April, and 5 in regulation. considering out of the 9 games Smith played in April, with 6 of them were against teams below us in the standings at the time of the games, I think we would have still make no matter who played those games. So I'll say this, Koskinen had gotten us to the playoffs before Smith supposedly found his game.
Because for a few games he was pulled so early that Skinner was given the L instead.
Well, I can only think of one instance where Skinner replaced Campbell and got the L, but that's really besides the point I was making, It really doesn't matter if its because an offensive outbreak by the oilers, or because Skinner came it to inherit the L, by some magical means, Campbell seems to dodge the L's.
The Toronto hype machine actually said Campbell was bad. If Holland is guilty of anything it's only looking at season averages, or rolling the dice on Campbell's hot streaks becoming more common as he gains experience
He can even keep the money. All 25 million in fact... as long as he does so on LTIRetirement - mental health maintenance. I have nothing against the guy wanting to set up his family with generational wealth, just do the team paying you that money a favour and get the f*** off the roster.
ha. You haven't seen Quick lately. Once he's down he's gump worsly until somehow theres a whistle or an inevitable goal scored. I've seen him down swimming around on his belly for extended sequences and often. Whatever style he had at one time is gone. His style now is pure panic, his approach is to hit the deck like a bomb is going off several times a period.
If Quick doesn't turn it around in Vegas, he needs to retire. He's near the bottom of the league in all relevant areas with Campbell.
Ironically, that is exactly what the goalie coach Smith hired worked on to correct. It was standing on his feet and not falling forward. He also worked on his hand positioning to enable them move quicker and more freely. Your post is just further evidence Schwartz has to go
I must have been watching old clips of Quick. I did notice that he did look a little like Campbell at times but he was still very acrobatic.
Looks like two back to backs Yotes and Vegas then LA and Anaheim. I don’t mind giving him those two but outside of that we ride skinner every game.
Yeah the only games he should get from now on are the back to backs (preferably against the shittier teams in Arizona and Anaheim) and maybe the last 1 or 2 games of the season if, and only if, we've A) clinched the playoffs, B) not at risk of running into Colorado round 1 as wildcard.
