Post-Game Talk: Skinner Does Dallas

[TB12]

It reminded me of this from years and years back, tbh.

That playoff photoshop they used to have way back was some of the best humour I have ever seen on the internet. I spent legit hours of my life laughing at the stuff like this that people would post.

McJesus has the most even strength points in the playoffs with 18. Leon is second with 14.

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)

Thanks for correcting. I thought they ran him with 6 d-man deployment with reduced minutes. In absence of this team's elite PP, they have been wearing teams down with a strong, aggressive and productive four line deployment. I wouldn't mess with it. The d-corp when locked in like tonight and supported by great forward backtrack has been excellent. Beyond my wildest dreams this team would defend this well without Ekholm. But where he is missed is the poor PK and critical high leverage and close out situational play.

7 more to go, almost there lol

I saw the Stat earlier - Gretzky did it 9 times in 11 years, lol. Just couldn't go 4 in a row.

All because of the playoff series that cannot be named.

 

[elmeroil]

But he did not return.

That's called playing out the embellishment, much much worse doesn't even get called

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.

It's just embarrassing

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

We need to win more face offs. Bad face off cost us the 20 second 5 on 3 and too much time out of the O-zone on power plays.

We'll see if he plays next game.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

That embellishment want just embarrassing, see you next game.

Byfield 2.0… but worse

Oh he will

another factor is that our 4th line isn't all that great. Losing someone there in favor of keeping Stecher makes some sense to me, especially if it helps ease in Ekholm (and makes it easier to shut down Ekholm mid-game if he doesn't feel right after intense play).

 

[tiger_80]

I f***ing hope they jump into the trenches because this will be over very fast.

They may, but there is power play for that. A 5 minute major, ejection, and suspension will cool them down.

So I think it was both. I remember years back in the playoffs Chara taking what looked like a low key slash on the back of the leg and he dropped like a stone. I think Hinz did have a something bothering him, but yeah definitely hoped to get that 5 as well.

He probably didn't come back out because they probably took his skate off and you know lol.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Any word on Ekholm? He must be close?

I wouldn't mess with that 4th line. Janmark is a gritty playoff guy with speed and PK ability. Perry can move up and down the lineup and pitching in with big goals. Frederic's been underwhelming but keep his size and heavy game in to sustain the punishment on Dallas. Stetcher's a good utility #7/6 but can sit if/when Ekholm is cleared to return. Easy call for me.

Wasn’t there one of Kesler doing one of his many flops rolling across the screen with a tumbleweed blowing behind him?

Yep. With the walking boot already.

As soon as any "suspension" is decided, the boot comes off and hallejuah, he's fine.

Take a listen - the whole thing - right to end.

There's no way the league is suspending nurse for that, get real.

They're bad but not that bad.

Walman leading the post season with a +12

You didn't see the chainsaw?

Sportsnet replays are garbage so chances are I just missed it.

 

[MikeS24]

Time to go read some Rejean posts..

 

[tiger_80]

Oh he will

Well, if their top player just excused himself from almost the entire third period action, they have a bigger problem than the embellishment.
