Difference this time is, while I've felt bad or a lot of the goalies along the way, I have no real pity for Skinner or Campbell this season. This feels like 2005 where they could have a prime Chris Pronger in front of them for 30 minutes a night and they'd still find a way to let in goals.
If we have either of the Flames goalies this is 4-0 or 4-1. Just what it is. AGain Knights had several times as many quality scoring chances last night, breakaways, odd man rushes, they got one goal past Calgary back up Vladar.
Tonight no. I don’t think the Oilers gave up much. But he had big saves in recent games, some cross creasers and glove hand robs.
I think this is a reasonable, fair assessment. Skinner has 1 shot against and then comes a high danger area shot through a screen. Still want your tender to find a big save in circumstances like that. He's got to start finding those big moment stops for this team.
What kind of rat ass selected stat count is that?
I don't trust him either. I will say we keep him in the system even after aquiring another goalie at the trade deadline. He's in his sophomore year so I wouldn't give up on him so soon. Campbell is a lost cause though.
our 4th line had the Knights pinned for an entire shift, Drai steps on, gets the puck, gives it away/lets it slip away to lose possession/momentum. He was killing plays and sloppy.
That doesn't make any damn sense. Calvin Pickard hasn't put up a .900 in seven years. Skinner, whether you like him or not, was a good NHL goalie for most of last season.
Condor fans thinking "Who the F is this?"
If you want to go all the way in the playoffs then some nights your goalie has to steal one and make saves where everybody says "how did that stay out" but it just doesn't happen with the Oil.
He’s coming back, he’s better then what we currently have.
In multiple of those games we didn't give up much of anything. Games where opponents got essentially nothing but muff shots on net.
