GDT: Game #48: Canucks @ Oilers - 7 PM - SNW

[Canovin]

I'm thinking the Oilers are going to go after Pettersson but I think Miller will do that for us

Interesting that they are starting Pickard tonight over Skinner against a main divisional rival. Coaching staff must be seeing Skinner struggles recently too and not liking it.

Likely a planned start for Pickard. Don't think Skinner has started 4 straight this year.

Can't argue, but I suspect he'll see the puck better and such. I wonder what He, with Henrique and Perry can do tonight.

I don't get those lines but might as well try something different

I'd like to see him be effective without McDavid. I hope he can be.

He's effective away from McDavid, he just doesn't get the tap ins he's used to.

Cucks game plan for tonight

Garland looks bigger in person. Same pink neckguard though.

It's all about scheduling.

KK is clearly trying to manage things such that Skinner never plays 4 in a row and generally tries to work it such that Skinner only plays 4 out of 6 and gives Pickard either the weakest opponent or the on least impactful to their place in the standings.

They had to find a spot. With the current 6 game stretch including LA, Colorado, Washington, Minnesota and Vancouver x2, with the Minne/Colorado games being back to back really only left this one or Washington.

May have picked this one because Washington's closer in the President trophy standings than Vancouver is for Pacific Division standings. Though it is possible he's acknowledging that Skinner's career numbers vs. Vancouver aren't pretty (like they weren't vs. Minne as well) and figured he give Pickard a shot.

Lol this neck guard appears significantly smaller than Judy's.

I think he might be wearing an adult size. I've never seen a neck guard that big at any level.

Only here because I'm also at your rink tonight. Godspeed Oilers fans. Godspeed.
