The notion of going back to Skinner is completely insane. It should result in being immediately fired.
Skinner in this series has allowed about 7 goals above expected. That is atrocious.
Pickard let in 3 GA on 3.86 xGA tonight and let in 2 on 1.68 last game. So he's performed slightly better than expected.
Incidentally, Silovs has allowed 16 goals on 16.03 xGA. So he's basically dead on for expected goals - obviously great for an AHL call up third stringer to play like an average NHL goalie but it's not like he's stolen the series to this point or anything. If they had Demko, who averaged over .5 goals saved above expected this year per game, it's very likely the series would already be over.
