The problem with Skazyk is you never know what he's going to give up, including very soft goals. With Eddy in net, I often feel like saves are random events, and many of them are made because he happens to be in the way. Now that's not entirely true, and he is certainly not the worst goalie I've seen at Cornell. However, he doesn't inspire any faith in me. How many times did the radio announcers during Friday night's game say "Skazyk had no idea where the puck was" even as he made the save? I don't remember; I lost track. Yes, he got the job done and had an amazing night in a game where we needed a great performance. Do I have the confidence that he will *definately* do it again the next time out? Unfortunately, no. He deserves playing time, but I wouldn't want to see him get the nod every time. Paulette Dwen Cornell '89 Let's Go Red!
