Big Skinner fan. Still called for him to be pulled versus Van. Was impressed Knob did it. Came back played good in that series. Good enough to win 2 huge games and get the team to round 3.
Ottinger is in another class than Skinner to date, but Ottinger has been mortal appearing this year. Regular and post season. He played very well in game one...
... and got completely outplayed by Skinner. Major props. Stole this game imo. So many storylines PK, McDavid Draisaitl Bouchard Hyman, the list goes on but it was Skinner being the biggest factor IMO. That's 2 games, one in LA series, and now this one he stole wins for. Hope he can keep it up.
It's great to see such growth. Such a young goalie. It will be very interesting to see how good he can get. Great bounce back since being pulled.
A very interesting stat was mentioned by Gazdig during the intermission. He get substantially better the more shots he faces... I found that very interesting and also really explains his struggles against Vancouver.
