I disagree with anyone that thinks Campbell should have started this game. He had 40 games this season to earn the trust of the coach and he was awful. The Oilers have not lost 2 games in a row for months and Skinner has gotten the win after every loss he has had. Campbell may have looked good In a couple of relief appearances but that is a big difference then the pressure of starting the game and being counted on to win the game. Your season is on the line you go with the guy who earned your trust all season long.

So 4th tine Skinner gets pulled at these play-offs... and he is up for Calder...

How about select/vote the actual best of the best rookies... you know, like Maccelli or Johnston
He played well in the regular season. Nothing like these playoffs.

That’s why I had Edmonton as a contender and have been pumping their tires as a cup threat for months now.

If they got regular season Skinner this round, I’m pretty sure they win this series.

Kostin is a beast and he has 3 minutes of ice time? Canadian teams rely on their star players too much. It’s media driven and now it has seeped in to management. Lining up a team with 11 and 7 is beyond inexcusable and Edmonton has done that numerous times this year.
Kostin was already playing hurt and got hurt again blocking that big shot
