Right, he was a class act. Too bad he had to deal with the classless Matheson. F that guy..A low maintenance player and class act. Wish Koskinen well in retirement.
Fare thee well Three Metres of Kostinen: Standing tall in Oilers' crease, Koskinen dispels stigma of being a bad contract
Being played and paid as a starter unfortunately.Got a lot of deserved crap because of the contract but on his own merit was a perfectly fine backup goalie in the NHL.
Yup. Every player and goalie has weak spots. Today’s level of analysis, data and video will expose things to those who can do that work, including your own position coaches. The fact that he really never overcame these weak points in his game is on him but maybe more on those supporting him, like Dustbin Schwartz who should have been analyzing all that data..Koskinen was a decent goalie, until he was over-scouted and everyone had a book on him.
Pretty much the league quickly dissected his short-comings and routinely exploited them.
Every goalie under the tutelage of Dustin Schwartz, he progressively got worse and worse year after year.
Bill Flett was a beauty.The most polarizing Oilers #19 since Cowboy Flett. I saw one of his KHL saves on TSN's Top 50 Saves of All Time
