Sorry. I normally never make titles lol, I wasn't sure if anyone was

And yes I agree. If we face these guys in the playoffs Skinner worries me. He has been very solid , but I still consider him our greatest weakness against Vegas if we play them come playoffs time
Very solid!?!?!?

Team Work Makes the Dreamwork

Full 200 foot game with team defense turning into offense and goals scored. Strong structured own zone play helped their goaltender who reciprocated with a strong game (with one brain fart). Nurse Kulak has been an elite pairing. Draisaitl has line 2 humming but all lines contributing in a slay the dragon game. Nice to have the best goaltender in a game against Vegas. It takes a village to earn a W.

Complete team effort that flows out of highly improved structure and discipline in keeping goals out.

Islands in the stream.
I know you hate him, and that goal was really awful, but otherwise I though he played a really strong game. He made some very big saves tonight imo.
He's played good in the stretch. For the most part he's making stops he should make. Vegas also had the 3 goal posts and I thought are defending and our shot blocking, impeccable. WE got clean looks on Vegas goal and finished, and Hill had more difficulty. Vegas finishing was abysmal really. Pad stuffing and logo stuffing all day. It does play in the hand of Skinner. At least he mopped all those up. Yeah I don't like him much. Trouble is you could see he's been overconfident on his puck play lately. Couple games ago he had a flub that Booch got blamed for the GA, but this one was again truly awful, and a clown GA. Its the trouble that this was against Vegas. The only in the divisision that seems to even be a challenge for us and that we probably face in playoffs. Skinner makes me nervous all the time.

I liked my pgt title more but looks like this one is being it.

Bobblehead Skinner. This guy frustrates me even in a win like this. The worst goal you ever seen, and he's had 20 blooper mishandle pucks like this, its not new, and a minute later he's bopping his head around like a dummy again. I can't unsee it. This guy makes me nervous all the time. He just handed the Knights the 5-3 goal on a routine dump in. Skinner being the one to erase the clubs perfect record of not being scored against on PP, until Skinner handed out the shorty like Halloween candy. The whole Vegas bench laughing at it. Because you know these teams will face each other in playoffs and about the only thing Vegas got on us is Skinner is our starter. We win, but Skinner has to remind us..

Then Debrusk polishing him all day, constantly. You'd swear this was the Skinner is great broadcast. Praise Skinner. haha
Connor Brown with another nice goal though. Probably won’t get your thoughts on that. Haha.
