Player Discussion Calvin Pickard

[Drivesaitl]

Pickard handles the puck so much better than Skinner. Everything about it looks so much easier for him.

The period he came in relief when Skinner was pulled was his better puck handling. he's very crisp and confident with it. Not quite as much in his start but he had to be a little nervous in that game, made worse because the oilers played most of the game with negligible run support.

If the Oilers would have got to even scoring a 3-0 goal I think it could have ended up a shutout.

Basically, like at the beginning of the year, not every mistake needs to end up in your net.

Exactly. There was so much talk around why the team sucked beginning of the year. Skinner was a major reason. He was letting everything in.

To the eye Pickard looks a lot smaller in the net?

Well, he is like 4" and 40lbs smaller than Skinner.

He can actually move though.

He did for a most of the year, I'm disappointed this spot got too big for him.

I think they both handle the puck okay, but Pickard seems to have a plan when he does it. Some of the plays Skinner makes when handling the puck don't make sense to me.

So happy for Calvin Pickard. Been a long pro journey for him!
