I agree on it's own - any one break away it's fair for the other team to score on.
I did kind of feel like getting beat on 2 of 3 in the first period when the Kraken didn't really have any other chances was a little chinsy you'd like to see that only be one of three on average.
That said, he made some good stops after that making up for it and shutting the door. He had a good game.
I dunno I just get frustrated with how lax this market has become on mediocre Goaltending - the job as a Goaltender in the NHL is to stop things that you're not supposed to stop, and all the good Goaltenders do that - that means sometimes during the door on grade A scoring chances like a breakaway. And the job isn't to be perfect - it's to keep us in the game and be as good if not better than the other guy. The job is to be atleast slightly better than the mathematical average in the regular season and better than the guy across the rink in the playoffs. And to be fair - he's doing that very very well of late and props too him.
I just don't think that that means he should be immune from criticism. You can like a guys game but still be critical about some things. Idk, I spent a very long time while injured as a kid working with my buddy who was my teams Goaltender and a Goaltending coach one year - a lot of Goaltending fundamentals get overlooked a lot of times, but they're something I've paid attention too after spending so much time with a relative guru all those years ago. And to be fair I've probably given Skinner more crap than he's deserved this year, but also he literally had fundamentals worse than your average peewee Goaltender for awhile there at the start of the year in terms of positioning and puck tracking.
This is a market that once felt like a guy like Prime Tommy Salo was a relatively mediocre Goaltender when realistically he was a top 5 Goaltender in the league on an annual basis - just he couldn't compare to Cujo.
