But the Penguins just lit him up for, what, eight goals in a game?
Six?
I don't remember how many were empty net.
So everybody has this.
The save percentage.
I was just reading a piece on this.
The average save percentage has gone down by like 15 points.
So what was old can't be measured anymore as far as goalie competence.
Am I concerned?
Absolutely.
But I think I'd be concerned if I was most other teams around the NHL to going into the playoffs.
And here's the thing.
Here's the Penguins' best attribute.
Well, they have good special teams for sure.
They can fill it up.
This is the highest scoring team of the Sidney Crosby era, which is mind-blowing, but it's true.
So I'm not ultra confident in their goaltending, but I don't feel horrible about it either.
Because it also needs to be said that Skinner has won a bunch of playoff series.
You know, he couldn't get Edmonton over the hump, but he wins playoff games.
He's won plenty of them.
