Fellow Pens fans, I am having the ********* day. I didn't know when I got to university, I would inadvertently get sucked into Means Girls 2. My floormates are hella loud, and after reporting them twice to the RA in three days, they vandalized the chalkboard hanging on my door, and posted a nasty anonymous message to my university's "Spotted At..." page.
I guess what I'm saying is I really ****ing hope the Pens win. And that no one else gets injured.

Wait a minute.... Ondrej Palat isn't playing? Well, there goes my FH lineup for the night. And it was off to a good start with some Couturier points.

Wait, I thought the problem was he never passes?

Me too, BBA. I thought the knock on Skinner was that he was a puck hog.

Well that and the Staals were jealous of him . And that he's pouty he didn't get a parking spot in the first row of the player parking area so he was going to demand a trade.

Same here

I'm going with the theory that if something is so obscure it takes an inordinate amount work to simply find out what it is let alone investigate its meaning, I'd be more enriched and the time better spent learning more about seahorses and if the pills they sell here made from them really cure what they swear they do.

He often tries to make a fancy deke. In the 2 on 1 there, he tried to make an impossible pass that would have looked spectacular had it succeeded. The right play was just firing the damn puck glove high.

He often looks to make that one extra move. Sometimes it works, and you get a highlight reel play. But sometimes a straightforward play would be more effective.

Problem is you are taking 1 play and making a generalization. Skinner has ~10 more shots than anyone else on the team. He understands the concept of shooting the puck. If you want to say he should have shot it that one time, then fine. But saying he doesn't understand the concept of shooting is silly.
