It was right between the dots, and right in the slot. So maybe not 5ft but what? At most 8 ft? Doesn’t change my argument at all. And doesn’t make it a softie. IF it went straight in from the blue line top corner at that speed I would consider it a softie and say as such. As I usually do. Just like I considered Zadorovs extreme angle shot a softie in Game 3.
I’ve stated he’s let in softies in games 1-2, hasn’t made enough big saves this series, and should be sat for Pickard. If you consider that defending Skinner then that’s on you, not me. For me it’s not defending Skinner, it’s stating my true opinion on the quality of his play based on my genuine attempt to breakdown the cause of goals against. Is that really disingenuous?
I do consider admitting Nurse booted a puck in, then after still lying and calling it a softie to be disingenuous though.
