His all star counterpart absolutely has to do with our assessment of what "good goaltending" looks like he's literally the best goalie in the league.
Hellebucyck had an "ok game", not good, not bad... but it's the type of game we crucify Skinner for around here regularly.
The difference between elite goaltending and lower-average goaltending is quite simply consistency and distribution... but it isn't range, they all have GREAT games and they all have STINKERS.
Hellybucyck probably has a range like this:
Great: 35%
OK: 55%. <-- and these games include plenty where SPCT can be below 870, just like last night
Stinkers: 10%
And Skinner is probably:
Great: 10%
OK: 55%
Stinkers: 35% (this season, anyway)
My issue, and I'm sure this goes with most other people who've played the position, or played the sport at a decently high level (unless you were a lazy entitled winger

... is that we have posters trying to convince us with their entirely objective advanced BS stats that every one of Skinner's "OK" games are stinkers and he was therefore THE ONLY REASON why we lost yet again.
It's just devoid from reality. Last night is a great example. If Skinner let in an uncontested, unscreened shot from above the hash marks, over his shoulder, not even top corner (as Helly did) and then followed that up with a 10MPH 5-hole goal where he had his stick out of position (as Helly did), the whole boards would be up in arms.
It's tiring. Can't we just focus on the 25% of games where he really did S#!+ the bed?I
