Has the discussion not shifted now to how we go from good to great? If not, my mistake. I thought we were there, though. I think we are good. My post specifically said “after our first playoff series”. That’s kinda my point: 12 / 32 is great (I mean this) relative to wanting to be a playoff team (which is all I really want right now, yes), but 12/16 isn’t very good when we start measuring ourselves against the upper tier by choice The aim is an interesting discussion of how we might end up stylistically (and somewhat through overall ability) altering the makeup of the F group in the next little while, to go from good to great on that front.

Just think where we'd be if we had good goaltending and a better 3rd pairing. I suspect we'd give up less than 3.4 goals a game and have a different near 30. Yes the forwards need to take some responsibility for it, but it seems this system relies on D moving the puck up quickly and I don't think we get that enough from Bryson/Bush. Not that this really has anything to do with Skinner's contract. Well maybe it does, he is still lousy in the D Zone. (An improvement from G-D awful, but still an improvement.)

High school sophomores everywhere are up in arms over Jeff's portrayal of the the first interview they ever did for the school newspaper, even though he's spot on. If Monty Python ever gets recreated on this side of the pond, Jeff will be an original cast member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matter2003 Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Skinner's passing is vastly underrated. That pass to Power on his goal last game was a thing of beauty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted February 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Fun fact: IN the last 10 games Jeff Skinner has 9 points however he scored 0 points in 4 of those 10 games. The 4 games he did not score were all losses and the 6 he did score were all wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTS Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 I was dying when I saw this video. Skinner flat out nails awkward like a professional.. and Tuch.. hah. Anyway.. this kind of stuff is what teams need to do. It's brilliant marketing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Skinner has made more nifty passes this season that I have seen since he joined the team. Sometimes I feel that he is over passing. What's apparent is that his teammates not only like him but are also amused by him. He may be the best chirper in the league. He irritates the opposition and is embraced by his mates on the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
