Post-Game Talk: 5 Mins 4 Ftg needs a new friend, Oilers need a new goalie

I have to laugh. Sometimes it feels like player's relatives are posting on here.

I was talking about Skinner.

He has 20 odd games this year where he's collectively under .900. In just under half of those he's also been above or well above .900
In his other 2 seasons and 63 games of work, he sported a .913 and a .914 and is a career .908
12 playoff games last year doesn't negate that, nor does this first quarter of the year, unless he finishes this season below .900

Adin Hill has never taken on a starters workload for a season. I realize he's doing well, but there's a big difference between playing 25 games a year and 50, and then going through the post season.

For some reason Adin Hills previous numbers mean something to you, but none of Skinners do. It's kind of lame.

Skinner isn't in Hill's category. Like he destroyed him head to head in the playoffs then was great in the Conference Finals and Finals and is no.1 in the league for save percentage.

Like at what point is this a comparison that doesn't even make sense.

For all we know Skinner is the next David Riitich or Ben Scrivens or something, there's far more of those guys than guys who bust and become established, real starters.
