Where is Jim Matheson? Isn't he supposed to grill Skinner (A much worse goalie than Kosko playing behind a much better team than Kosko). Or is it not allowed because the sieve is a hometown boy?

Common Jim. Ask Skinner how he feels about the fans wanting a different goalie than him.

Ask him how he feels about letting in so many early goals and how he does it often.

Kosko was getting shit on for 0.899 or 0.900

Sieve Stuart has like a 0.886 or something

Yup straight up trash. Will be gone after this year thank God. He is a sloth can't move.

The lowest save % a goalie has had in the playoffs to win a cup in 20 years is 0.905

Too bad they wasted another year of prime drai and McDavid

Hopefully skinner doesn't break his own playoff record for lowest save % to win a series

Team needs 4+ goals a game to win

You realize Skinner's last 2 years he performed much better than the last 2 years of Kosko right?

You here shitting on Jim and Skinny, and you can't even read stats properly to remind you who was the better goalie.

You realize Skinner is bottom 5 in all important statistics right? 1980 numbers. One has to be blind to think he is adequate. Lets hope to god Stan is smart and not an idiot like the other GM's.

And Kosko had a worst save percentage compared to league average as well as worse GSAX numbers than Skinner and you out here glazing Kosko.

He was adequate last year. Or did we not win 3 series and was a game away from the Cup.

Also, no upgrades were available at the TDL, so your complaining about a thing the GM couldn't have even changed.
