Skinner is on a tear right now and single handidly keeping the Canes in playoff contention.

 

Skinner has 16 goals and 4 assists in the past 16 games. He has five multi-goal games in the last 14 games and two hat-tricks on the season.

 

This kid cannot me stopped right now.

 

The Canes beat the Capitals in OT tonight behind the great play of Skinner and Murphy.

 

Jeff Skinner: 3 goals

Manny Malhotra: 1 goal, 1 assist

Eric Staal: 2 assists

Ryan Murphy: 2 assists

Alexander Semin: 1 assist

Tuomo Ruutu: 1 assist

Drayson Bowman: 1 assist

Anton Khudobin: 41 saves

Remember last year when everyone wanted to trade skinner for anything we could get? And how I got trolled for saying he was just having a rough patch in his season...

Skinner is going to have a huge career here. I love how the kid plays.

Skinner is proving he CAN be elite. Dude is a top 6 guy and is proving it. He can be consistent, and he is proving it. The only thing holding him back is that he is made of glass. Dude needs to strengthen his neck (will help prevent concussions from the snap of getting hit) and just really, strengthen everything. No breaks. No tears. Maybe wear some better shoulder pads, if he can do it without sacrificing quickness.


The thing with Skinner, like most great hockey players, is that he needs to get into a rhythm. Once he finds his niche on the line and rips a few goals and assists, he gets confident and that makes him less tense when shooting, which leads to better hands. The guy is playing like Staal did early in his career. He reminds me a LOT of Evgeni Malkin due to his puck control and shooting ability and the way he can get the puck in dirty areas and create scoring chances off of it.

      Bryce Slinging Dots Downfield

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      Those TDs passes you saw Sunday is what I think you will see bryce at his best. Those touch passes he can lob to receivers over the defenders heads. Long as receivers can get significant separation and bryce does overthrow those passes which we seem him do a lot. He is never gonna be a guy that can throw a laser into a receivers chest with a defender draped on him downfield unless its short pass or within a couple feet from the endzone.

      Dream scenario for ending out the season

      By strato · Posted

      If teams play us honestly and take that deep stuff away we may be able to operate good enough underneath to counter that. It is about time we started trying to force them to respect it.    But I think people should enjoy the win for two weeks because what’s in front of us doesn’t scream playoffs to me. It would be shocking if we swept TB. They aren’t Atlanta.  And even if we sweep there can be no let down.    I saw the stat of our record coming off a loss. Pretty good. What would it be coming off a win lol? Without looking, it has to at least be pretty upside down  (I count it to be 2-4).

      Win the division from Bucs........BY implodes in the playoff worse than Delhomme and we finally get rid of BY as our QB. Get ready for 2026 with momentum for once.
