Watched the game, incredible is correct32-save shutout for Skinner. I listened to the third period and he made an incredible pad save in the final two minutes according to the announcer.

I thought he was done in Junior? No?Skinner’s going all world right now. Considering Hockey Canada makes these decisions months in advance he should be a shoe in for the world juniors.
Making whatever scout that pushed Chia to trade up and draft him look like a million bucks.
He's a late 98 so not eligible for World Juniors next year.Skinner’s going all world right now. Considering Hockey Canada makes these decisions months in advance he should be a shoe in for the world juniors.

Missed by two months exactly, Nov 1 1998 Birthday.Really? Hm. Could have sworn he was young enough still. Must be just barely missing the cut.
Please remind us, what was the trade that got us Skinner? Which scout touted this kid? Keith Gretzky?
I'm in the same boat. Granted we've never really drafted anyone very high since Dubnyk, it just seems that for us anyone we every really had turned into dust. I remember the like of Pitton and Roy being talked about, as well as one of the finns from 2011. Then a year later, guys are either never heard of or struggling in the ECHL.I want to be excited about Skinner but goalie development is so hard to predict, never know what you're going to get with them.
Also, this could just very well be just a hot streak and that he'll resort back to being mediocre next season.
In any event, his playoff run is outstanding and him outdueling Hart is no small feat.
Swift and Skinner win again 3-2 in OT. Gawdin with the hat-trick.
Much as I love that we look to have a player in Gawdin, the flames look to have one in Glenn Gawdin. He went supernova this year.
Hard to say what to think of Gawdin, yes his numbers are impressive but he's also 21 years old right now...as an overager he SHOULD be impressive.
If there's one thing Stan Drulia taught me, it's that you should never put too much stock in offensive numbers garnered by an overage junior, no matter how outstanding.

Somehow I didn't hear about this until today. Penticton will only have jets and Nucks this year. 2 games
UBC will also be playing U of A in 2 games
My guess is they'll start him in Wichita(ECHL) and if he blows the doors off move him to Bakersfield(AHL). They've already got Starett and one of Montoya/LB/Ellis in Bakersfield and for him I think it's best to get the most game action possible. It'd be similar to what Shelbyville did with Tyler Parsons this year.Anyone know what will happen with Skinner next year, i.e. is there an annonced plan (by himself or others). I believe he could play in the AHL given his late b-day.
Easy path with another year in juniors, or throw him into the deep end by signing him and putting him in the AHL?
