Pre-Game Talk: Desert Doggie Doo

[Snipes45]

Like Tippett is going to break up a line where each player is averaging 2 PPG and over is not going to happen or should he, when some teams this season will be averaging 2.5 GPG

He will when the refs start calling less penalties. What are they scoring 5 on 5? That is they key here. We know they play together on a PP

 

[McTonyBrar]

I'd go Benson-McLeod-Yamamoto (I know McLeod is in Bako) on the 4th line and see if they can capitalize offensively with easy minutes.

Nice but

Benson Shore Yamamoto

would be a good line too. Blend of a bit of size, skill, grind

"Our PP was big" - Zack Kassian 2021

8/10 or the questions answered by Kassian, 2/10 by Koskinen. The interview took 6:14, of which 1:05 was Koskinen's part (including the questions) and Kassian's 5:09. Not that I mind, but I thought it looked a bit strange to have Koskinen as a statue there

 

[McTonyBrar]

I’d keep the same D pairings, bench Turris, move Yamamoto to the 4th line and give Benson a shot in the top 6.

I'm a huge Benson fan. I defended him a lot in preseason... but he did not do good enough to earn top six minutes at this time

Which one is benson?

 

[McTonyBrar]

Brian Lawton is saying he wants to see more from Ceci and Keith. Does he watch the games?

I don't think the buffoon understands what they have been brought in for. Stabilizers. Not point producing, high level of play Dmen

 

[McTonyBrar]

His last comment was the most important for me. " We held each other accountable" when speaking to 2nd intermission locker room discussions.
3rd had the two struggling players demoted

Next to our PP being big

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Shitty

Definitely, I do feel for them on a personal level, but I feel extra for Stalock, because he worked hard to get ready for the season and it was all for not.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Boourns, oh well, lets get Skinny boy sometime, throw him into the fire and start him in Vegas.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Skill.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I think you go Skinner against Arizona and Koskinen against Vegas. Give Skinner the easier start, hope Koskinen can steal the scheduled loss.

Normally, I with you. Try him against the good team and his teammates might rally around him to get him the win, plus the opposition wouldn't have as much of a scouting report on him. The only concern is that Henderson had a ton of games against Bakersfield/Skinner last year, so they may actually know him pretty well compared to most callups.

Fair, I meant more just hope for a kid to have a "Hot" night when you're already in tough in the 2nd of back to backs with travel.

Edit: And with Vegas being "slightly" better then Arizona.

 

[McShogun99]

As in Nurse-Barrie or Nurse-Bouchard?

Id stick with Nurse-Barrie for now. No need to throw Bouchard into the fire yet.

 

[TheNumber4]

Smith injured sucks. Excited for the Skinner era to begin though.

Imagine Nick Zero Points Schmaltz as your comparable against Connor McDavid when you are the Arizona Death-ert Dogs.

Zero excuse not to beat the Dogs tomorrow night. A team that might be one of the worst ever put on ice.

Lmao speaking of bathroom humor. This guy is my hero lmao

 

[McShogun99]

Stauffer is hard on the Crouse train. Was saying McLoed for Crouse, just his own opinion.

I would easily make that trade. McLeod is a very vanilla player with 3rd line potential at best. Crouse is hard to play against and could top out as a top 6 winger with our centers but realistically he’s a middle six winger.

He's a bottom-6 forward you don't play him up, unless you're shortening the bench late in the game.

He didn’t have a great preseason but he was drafted as a skill forward and has had 3 good years in the AHL. They need to at least give him a shot and see how he does with other skilled players.

Geez had no idea who the guy was. Preds 5th from 2015.

So weird looking at the goal stats in the below. 7.4 difference in GAA and .25 difference in SPCT. Just unreal
