Volume shooting, his one plus trait. Apart from that, he's the guy you'd point to as a player who plays the game the opposite of the right way. I always wondered why Botts bid against himself on that contract - it makes more sense if he was bidding against Pegula.I was like, no way the Hurricanes must have made it one year and he was just hurt or something....but nope.
Skinner always such an odd goal scorer never sure what you'll get.. one year he'll be on pace for 40 the next he'll get 18 in Carolina.
His first year in Buffalo he got 40, then the next two seasons he got 14 and 7 (in 59 and 53 games) so you think he's done...except the following three years he gets 35, 33 and looks like high 20s this year... What's up with that?
Which is weird considering ballerinas are tough/strong as f***.My point is dude is soft as butter.
If I remember correctly - he was close to postseason in his rookie year, but Hurrincanes lost in 82-th gameday and left out
[Dislike button]That is correct, it was win and you're in. They lost.
Skinner skinner chicken dinner!
Fans are loving it
That last game still crushes me to remember. Just got back from Afghanistan the day before- managed to somehow watch all the games that year on NIPR internet, and went there to see the collapse.Had the Hurricanes not choked in game 82 his rookie year, Skinner would have at least 4 playoff games played as an 18 year old.
