Over the last several years, Edmonton has gone through goalies like shtt through a goose. They're like Toronto, clinging to the hope their big 4 will carry them, despite years of not getting it done. Both teams have the same problem: neither likes to play in their own end. Recall they're paying Jack Campbell $5M (can you say Bakersfield? :) ), so throwing money around is not the solution to their woes. And they're paying Nurse almost $10M and he's the legendary half -ed fox in a forest fire in his own end. They're stuck with him because nobody will take him at that number.

Furthermore, Skinner came into the playoffs at 2.62 and .905 (career nos.). He's not Marty Brodeur (who is?) but he's not the real problem. Pickard is a 32 year old, low budget ($850,000) journeyman. If he was anything more than a Hail Mary, he would have shown it sometime over the last ten years.

So, at the end of the day, they don't like to play defense and they're resolved to try to win 6-5.
