Same thing for the Caps, probably on some sportsbooks (they were the favorites on a few before the playoffs started)

is rowdy roddy brindamour gonna have to choke a zebra?

edit: not today, probably


i'd very much prefer if refs (in all sports) if refs would only call what they actually see, rather than assuming what happens when someone falls over, but fat chance of that huh

He's so ****ing bad. How was Pickard not the number one goalie all year?

it's really hard to tell the difference in quality of goalies because sample sizes are so small (one shutout or awful game will severely impact stats for the entire year) and so much of the goal scoring is luck based

we're getting better at figuring out things like whether the goalie was screened or the puck was deflected - whether it was a rebound or not (and importantly whether or not it was a rebound that the goalie should have not given up as a rebound but instead controlled)


i mean it's only recently that we discovered that in most cases a rested backup will perform just as well as a tired starter



so it's still very much gut and feel of the coach on whom in better and while i'm with you that i've seen skinner give up quite a few goals that truly surprised me, i've also seen him appear very good at times and it's not exactly like pickard has been crushing it - both are pretty similar statistically, both are below average goalies

while pickard has been slightly less bad, you could make an argument that skinner is the better goalie because pickard gives up goals from a bit further away than he does on average and is significantly worse on the pk when it's possibly a better test of goalie ability rather than the more random type of goal where you just throw it in front of the net and pray

yup, I feel terrible for oilers fans!

Spoiler:
muwahahahahahahaha. fwiw the online chat from oilers fans / vgk haters has been soooooooooo disrespectful and disgusting towards vgk after game 2 (other than on 2+2 obv). So this is the perfect way for the oilers to lose! zero sympathy.
