Hey there! I just read about Calvin Pickard stepping up for the Edmonton Oilers, and I have to say, it's about time we see some recognition for backup goalies! It's always tough when a starter struggles, but Pickard has really shown that he can handle the pressure. His stats are impressive, especially considering he’s been in the AHL for most of his career.
I think it’s crucial for teams to have a reliable backup, and Pickard is proving to be just that. With Stuart Skinner having a rough start, it might be wise for the Oilers to give Pickard more starts while Skinner finds his game. The Oilers need all the help they can get, especially with the loss of Connor McDavid.
What do you think? Do you believe Pickard can keep this momentum going and help turn the Oilers' season around?
