If you watched that game and think Dallas is going to roll Edmonton, I don't know what to tell you. It's casually thrown around that Skinner is just bad and Oettinger is the second coming of Dominik Hasek, but here are their stats this season:
Oettinger: 54 GP, sv% 0.905, GAA 2.72, Goals saved above expected 1.9
Skinner: 59 GP, sv% 0.905, GAA 2.62, Goals saved above expected 2.0
It's not out of the question that Skinner just had a brief rough spell for a week or two in the playoffs and has now shaken it off and can give the Oilers this kind of goaltending.
If that's the case, I gotta say - none of the Stars forwards scared me. The team as a whole had some moments of a lot of pressure, but I just don't know if I see them having the kind of "well that dude is going to go out and make a goal happen at a big moment" unlike the Oilers.
