Post-Game Talk: Skinner Does Dallas



I was in favour of switching Perry out for Arvidsson but if Dallas wants to turn this into a trench fight then we'll probably need the worm.

Marchment saying that is the dumbest thing I've witnessed today, and I've listened to DeBoer about Hintz

I know its playoffs but it's a myth that it's just violent out there. The refs will be looking to call things against the Stars now, and Marchment in particular. He just implied they will be looking to injure people. Can you be dumber?
 
Because we again don't matter. Theres more viewers in Canada than there are in the US but....

Maybe we should just say no and have our own start times. That we want to have. its ridiculous. its OUR home game. I'd tell the NHL we have a very important Yoga class at Rogers on Sundays and theres 3K loud ladys that won't be pre-empted. They'll be a lipstick/mascara war. it'll be carnage.
Oh I agree with you. Bettman is American and is determined to force hockey down their throats regardless. Canada doesnt get anything because we will watch regardless. Kind of like politics- conservative parties don’t do a single thing for Albertans because Albertans will vote conservative regardless and liberals dont do shit for Alberta because Alberta will never vote for them.

It’s pretty sad that these coddled teams like Vegas and Dallas whine about the reffing after every loss. DaBore can’t stop yapping about how Nurse should have got five for a play that was nothing more than a minor, an everyday kind of slash. I’m sure they have been in contact with Gary and George demanding a suspension, which as bizarre as it sounds, I wouldn’t rule it out.
Bennett elbows Stolarz in the head and there's no suspension. Roy cross checks Frederic in the face and there's a fine. I know the outcome matters, but it's not the only thing that matters. It would be bizarre to see a suspension there. There's a reason Stars fans haven't brought this to the mains.
 
Maybe at first we go 11-7 with Ekholm being the 7. Give him limited minutes and try some pairings with him. Then just decide when the time comes to stick Ekholm with Bouchard permanently
I don't see it. But maybe. They don't have to drop Ekholm into top pair minutes but rather third pair while managing his situational ice-time. I think Dallas did something like that for Heiskanen's first game back. The Oil four lines are given them solid play across all lineups. They don't need to shrink that key element that's working imo.

I definitely see how it becomes tough once Ekholm returns. I'm guessing we still want an even split of LD and RD.

Ekholm-Bouchard
Nurse-Stecher
Kulak-Klingberg

Man, sitting Walman? maybe we go with 11-7?
It’ll be Stetcher. Kulak will move up beside Nurse although Bouchard and Kulak are dominating right now.

I mean, 10 days ago he slashed Graham Skilleter. So, lol.

Dallas was doing the 11-7. Not sure where Heiskanen fit in with that mix, but he was only playing like 12 minuts for a while.

The fun part of this is that our D is cutting it without Ekholm. Even if Ekholm comes in soon, it seems like we are mostly prepping him for the finals (if we can get there of course)

As long as he makes them. All this team needs is saves.

Mods must love Dallas here

Imagine getting infracted b/c you went to another teams board to explain to them how Skinner is Jekly or Hyde and Edmontons D has played good and has won 5/6 periods. JUst an explanation to somebody asking if Edmonton as a whole is Jekyll or Hyde or Skinner

lol

Zero trolling whatsoever just a regular convo. Soft like Hintz. Wasn't the Dallas board either.
