He skates really well and he can make a good outlet pass but he is a nightmare in his own zone and under pressure makes very bad decisions with the puck. To say otherwise is pure denial.

It's really quite odd that you're not able to understand the issue I (and others have) with your grossly exaggerated line of thinking with this.
It doesn't "happen on a nightly basis". You're taking infrequent instances where he's struggled, asserting it's all the time, and essentially saying he's a net negative as a result. He's not a "nightmare" in his own end. That's hyperbole.
It would go a long way if you could simply criticize aspects of his game without all the "all the time" + "nightmare" connotations.
