Post-Game Talk: Skinner Does Dallas

So Tanev to Ceci is working about as expected. You love to see it.

I was told he was better in Dallas and that Lindell was the finish Slavin

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I half expect them to start randomly diving during the play after "contact" to see if they can draw random unseen penalties (that aren't penalties).

And the league will anlso assign McCauley for the games just for this series.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Refs are probably more concerned with the on-ice stuff. Like they pretty obviously hated Keefe because he would scream at them endlessly from the bench.

I think Knoblauch is very frustrated by the officiating overall, but he's unfortunately used to the reality, so he keeps a even keel so the team keeps and even keel and just plays through it.

It's actually very impressive the way they just play through it.

It’s forced them to be a pretty disciplined team over the years. It really reinforces the importance of discipline when we lose a game over it like game 1 too

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.

Dallas’ biggest downfall is they are the softest team in the league. The Oilers aren’t exactly the most physical team and every time we play Dallas it’s like we are the Broad Street Bullies. Very little jam in that team.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

He was practicing already on Monday. So he can't be too far away. But yes, they may take things slow, and sit him for another couple of games.

What makes me optimistic about Ekholm is it seems like he would play if they let him. He must be feeling pretty good

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Should have just left the skate on lol

Keep them together and put Ekholm with someone else

Hopefully not jinxing it but Rantanen is almost invisible

I think our team is tougher than given credit for, with the add of Kane, Walman, and Frederic.

It's also pretty clear to me that we were kind of avoiding contact and playing possum much of the year.

 

[oobga]

How many D have had 3 straight 15 point playoffs like Bouch has now?

Lidstrom never did. Coffey never did. Nor Makar, Orr, or Potvin

edit: oops, Potvin did do it! 4 straight in the dynasty

don't forget that they also tell us Lindell is better than Ekholm

lol Marchment barking. This is a flopping diva. Also can be a cheap shot artist. Can;t stand his face.

Ekholm-Walman I’d f*** with

Sometimes it's not a good thing. I played a decent-level soccer in my younger years. And I can attest that it is true that players often want to play when they are objectively not ready and should not be playing.

lol Ceci

Dude is your avatar photoshopped or real? LMAO.

This is why I’d try

Kulak - Bouch
Ekholm - Nurse
Walman - Klingberg

You should be theoretically able to get 20 minutes each out of those players.

When it happens every game you just get used to it. Pretty obvious which teams never have to deal with it when you listen to the postgame whinefests these playoffs.

100%. My comment was more on how soft Dallas is.
