Confidence is a funny thing, and nothing improves confidence like a hot goalie.
During the Oilers' 16 game streak, they went 14 games without giving up more than 2 goals. THE OILERS. Skinner got hot, and their confidence rose with him. Suddenly, everyone is playing better.
Of course for the Oilers, it was just a heater, propped up with a ridiculous schedule, and neither Skinner nor their defense were ever going to be able to maintain it, but the point stands.
Get the Devils a goalie, and you'll see a completely different team.
