Looks like the Kings found a weakness in Skinner’s coverage of the net.
Edit: so he does cover the post with his pad, but he gets the toe of his skate behind the post pretty slowly instead of getting his pad against the post immediately
He does, except when he does strong side save into RVH. When he plays low RVH cross-crease, he seals correctly.
One of those things where he cheats to push off the post since it’s easier to push off the post with the blade than the toe. He’s probably expecting a wraparound or bounce pass across.
Both those goals were second and third whacks. The defence should have assisted better

Something to pay more attention too.
