Oh, I know…. Let’s do this one next. Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark suck this year. Probably because of the pressure of their big contracts, right? Not the train wrecks they play behind
People often overestimate goalies with respect to their contribution to stopping goals. Those guys are overpaid and cashed in at the right time on having played for a good Boston team before the wheels fell off
The Oilers suck.
And no, Skinner doesn’t need to make a save, he can let them all in and see if McJesus can outscore it, for all I care

I actually think Skinner is an OK goalie - after all, he's mainly the reason they get anywhere - when he plays well, they win and when he doesn't stand on his head they lose. Same happened with Smith and Koskinen. But no goalie would look good behind that team.
