Skinner wins another game today vs. Detroit.. I watched some of the game.. Skinner didn't have to make one tough save.. Pittsburg's forecheck and defensive structure was SMOTHERING.. Detroit didn't one scoring chance in the last 12 minutes ..
I was left thinking.. If Edmonton had either Pittsburg's or Detroit's bottom 6 forwards .. and replaced Nurse with somebody else from either teams top 4 D pairs.. they'd be unstoppable.

Pens set a franchise record for least shots allowed in a road game. I've watched some of the other Pens games, and they had lots of atrocious defending events. Seems more of a case of Detroit just taking a game off. Maybe they are like us, allergic to leading a division.
But hey, not like we have any goalies right now ourselves. This Jarry guy better be back soon.

Uhhh, what?
NHL News @PuckReportNHL
FULL TRADE: Penguins acquire Sam Girard and 2028 2nd round pick from Avalanche for Brett Kulak. No salary retained. #LetsGoPens #GoAvsGo
Dubas got a better player and a 2nd round pick for our cap dumped player?
That's messed up man. Girard is more expensive, so if you just accept our team is always up against the cap and such a trade would be impossible for us to make, maybe hurts less. But, of course need to ignore all the cap we've wasted, even in the last year.

Sounds like Avs are making cap space for a tradeline deal upgrade.. Kulak is probably no worse than Girard.. maybe better.. and he's an upcoming UFA
