Skinner is cooked. It will be Pickard for game 4 based on Knoblauch's post-game presser where he opened the door with a waffling non-committal. I need to see the full presser but Sportsnet highlights is first time where Knoblauch has looked rattled imo.
I really thought this organization might have been priming Campbell for a post-season back-up gig to have available a guy with NHL pressure playoff experience in event that Skinner wilted. Pickard's been steady all year. But this is a massive moment with daylight running on a team with expectation to be playing in June. Note, NHL hockey should never be played in June.
The funny thing about pickard is he is the only goalie on this team who has done exaclty what has been required and expected of him.
Campbell has failed miserably and isn't even an NHL goalie anymore.
Skinner once again panics under the lights and is going to cost this team again.
Pickard was asked to come in "be the backup" and has an amazing record all year.
