"They're both very different personalities, but both have a real passion to play & a passion to win."
Mike Smith & Mikko Koskinen may have polar opposite demeanours, but they've both been solid between the #Oilers pipes this season as the team is 6-1-0.

"Losing to Brownie, the worst beat of my career, was actually very liberating for me. It allowed me to change how I viewed my role. It made it easier." Stu Grimson on the rematch with Dave Brown in the 4th game of his NHL career. BRoke his face. But Stu returned to play 725 more.

Ethan Bear has played 22+ mins in 3 of the last 4 games.
He looks poised, competes defensively, and can make plays.
If he can become a legit top 4 right shot D in time...than Oilers GM Ken Holland could have some intriguing options moving forward.
