Injury Report: Archibald “Not up to Speed”

[MessierII]

Good PKer. Good forechecker. Has speed and finish. Could definitely use him on the 4th line. Miss him.

 

[McSuper]

Archibald is a good player on the 4th line what we been lacking is a good defensive C on the 4th . The C has more responsibility defensively . Archibald has tried to do too much for his size and skill set . Fans will miss him when he is gone . I want him back as he is a spark plug out there .

 

[nabob]

A Benson-Sceviour-Archibald line would have been good 4th line, imo

Would easily be the best 4th line we’ve had since the wagon line.

If he’s healthy, get him back in the mix and see what he can do. The team should care about winning hockey games and if Archibald can help in that regard you keep him around if not cut him loose.

I mean I guess, but I don't see it, he's got what has basically ended stalock's career. We should just move on.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Enough of the covid talk.

 

[Aerchon]

He is a strong fourth liner and can be used sparingly throughout the line up. Anyone who thinks the team is better off without him really needs to take a step back and reassess imo.

I think he improves our hockey club.

But I still dont think hes a very good hockey player.

 

[Spawn]

Miss his hitting. Our PK is doing fine without him.

Still got him as my avatar but I think his career is over. Yak retired in KHL due to similar post covid issue and Stalock isn't coming back either.

Yakupov has 17 points in 29 games in the KHL this season.

Not to split hairs because I think I understand what you are saying but...

Even "just" being a strong fourth liner in the nhl is one of the best hockey players on the planet.

When healthy he's a solid 4th line utility guy that can bring a much needed physical element to the club. Our team is way too soft for the playoffs IMO.

Hmm maybe something lost in translation then.

We're also way too bad defensively for the playoffs. Archibald hurts in that area. Doesn't help.

I just think hes better than some of the other options we have.

So who do you propose that we go out and get that is punishing physically and good defensively?

Honestly I'm fin with Sceviour in that role for now.

Not ideal, but imo he hurts you less from the 4th line than Archibald does.

Sceviour isn't exactly a physical beast out there that will wear down defenders in the postseason.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

What's the latest on his recovery? How likely will it be that he's back at some point in the regular season?

 

[Stoneman89]

If he can regain his health and come back to being what he was before, you sure have to consider putting him back in the lineup. And not to get into the Covid debate, but he would need to get his shots, so you can use him freely on both sides of the border. A portion of the time simply will not work.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

I’m going to put his odds of playing another NHL game at 37 percent, five percent that he ever plays for the Oil again.

I was going to make a comment that may have been misinterpreted as rude in an attempt to be funny but instead Ill just ask... Where the f*** are you getting these numbers from?

I'd propose Lawson Crouse.

Basically Archibald but 6'4 225 lbs.

I'd love to add Crouse, if the Coyotes GM values him the same as their fans they'd want Holland's left nut and right arm for him.

Well, if all it costs is old man testicle... I'd argue Holland would be selfish not to do the deal.

I don't think he can even have kids at this point.

lol. I wouldn’t have taken offence. Those numbers were plucked directly out of my ass !
