I look at McLeod as a very good 4C but below average 3C. I wouldnt mind seeing a line next year with McLeod centering Holloway and Lavoie.

Agree except I'd like to see Holloway higher up, he's looked good these playoffs

If they resign Henrique they could run
McLeod - Henrique - Holloway as a third line

What exactly does Darnell Nurse do for us besides hurt us every post season. I’m f***in sick of this dude.

At the end of the day the leadership group thinks it's more important to lose with friends than win.

 

[Yablo21]

I would like to see Sam Gagne in, he's fresh and would provide much needed energy.

Yeh thats an issue. But it wasn’t the case when we kicked Barrie to the curb. Unfortunately no one is taking Nurses 9.25M, we f***ed up huge the minute that was signed. A completely avoidable contract too, if Holland waited for his UFA status to come around the comps for Nurses contract wouldn’t have been so astronimical.

Great use of our 1st. Why spend it to upgrade our D when we can get an old, slow forward. Hopefully we get to the next round so we can actually get some use from Henrique.

Sounds like skinner might start. I don’t agree with that at all. Pickard has been rock solid in net. Skinner has proven to be a choker. Even with rest, I don’t trust skinner in the playoffs. Would much rather Pickard in there, but that’s just me.

Thanks Ken Holland

Did ol’ Dutch Tonya Harding Rico?

 

[bellagiobob]

Bob Stauffer hinted that Skinner might start tomorrow. I'm not at all amused but hopefully it doesn't happen. If he does.. obviously I'll cheer him on because.. well.. I'm forced to. Lol

Friedman said the same thing tonight, and Gazdic agreed. Unless Pickard is hurt or too tired, it seems bonkers.

Which is exactly why I shrug whenever the “poor McDrai” shit gets going

A chance at redemption. Maybe Skinner goes full on Patty Roy and stops them cold. Carrick should have been in on Game 1. We are getting badly outmuscled. I’d love to see Gagner in as well over Brown.

 

[Oilhawks]

Well, at least if Skinner starts and blows it again, we have a built in excuse

 

[CycloneSweep]

We are gonna start Skinner but the team will start scoring but lose 6-4

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Playing Skinner over Pickard is crazy. Skinner has a much longer leash yet has looked way worse. I don't get it.

I mean Pickard passes the eye test. I thought he played well. Is there anything that would suggest otherwise?

RNH McDavid Hyman
Kane Draisaitl Holloway
Foegele McLoed Gagner
Janmark Carrick Ryan

Stetcher in for Ceci.

Skinner for Redemption or Crucifixion, one or the other.

Goaltending hasn’t been the issue the last two games, that’s been the one thing that was consistent. Now is not the time for redemption, leave that for next years preseason.

Skinner couldn’t hold Patty Roy’s used condom.

Hopefully not the Patty Roy in his last game as a Hab version.

The only reason would be looking ahead to next year and trying to salvage Skinner’s ego/psyche. It is most assuredly not based off of performance in the playoffs.

That's what we need! .877 SV % to hold off elimination in a game 6 must win in a year that's extremely important to this organization and the careers of both 97/29. Good f***ing grief.

No doubt.

I think that’s what KK is thinking though. I’d be surprised if KK doesn’t go with Skinner.
