Good points about Fuhr. I don't think Stu has the same natural abilities but as you say, Stu is still only a sophomore.The other relavent thing that is getting overlooked (by some) on here...Skinner was a rookie goalie last season.
That was his first playoffs. Grant Fuhr said in an interview (I think that was from last season) that the first playoffs for many goalies is complete learning experience. Fuhr had an 0.853 sv% in the playoffs his first season. Save percentages were lower in those days overall but that was a brutal number.
He was much better after that.
So now we see what Skinner has learned from his first playoff experience.
I wouldnt be writing him off before the series even starts.
Then again...I dont hate the player like some posters do.
Well, let's sit back and enjoy it and be thankful that with the terrible mess the World is in that we as Canadians have some simple, peaceful options. Grab a cold one and relax.
