Like a switch... this guy seems to have gotten and received the message. 4th line, press box, and rolled with it all.

These last few games he's like a entirely different player, he's playing the defensive side of the game; something that he wasn't going before. He's getting chances and Knobs is rewarding him with time on second line!

He's been a team player, no complaints just solid work.

Just really nice to see.

Hope he gets a bit of a leash and isn't held to a dif standard than everyone else. Some of the defensive play from our "regular" top 6 guys has been pretty weak lately. Skinner should get a fair shot to stick around in the top 6, even if he makes the odd bad play in our end.
