Same I said it before he even came into the Nashville series that the team seems to play a bit more calm in front of him vs DeSmith the eye test proved to be correct.
This is why if we win tomorrow it will be that much more satisfying. Rub it into that eastern media especially calling for suspensions. Jerks.
Skinner is mentally broken and Pickard is a career journeyman. No help there. The one guy they could maybe go to, and probably should, is Campbell. Yes, he may absolutely crap the bed, but Skinner has already filled the bed with diarrhea, so no real danger there. But he also has it in him to play much better. Pickard is a desperation move that won't pay off.
I don’t think so the entire fan base wants him out of there it will be either Pickard or Campbell.
I would too if I was their fan, but fans don't make the call. They really don't have a good option to throw to, Campbell is the only real potential win but I think that's a huge long shot.
It’s not about that it’s about taking advantage when they get out of position. Guys like Nurse are prone to stupid plays just because the emotion can get to them.
Oh for sure, I'm just pointing out the inherent problem for a team who's pathway to winning is playing two players for half the game trying to take the game into the alley.
I don’t know if they actually start Pickard. NHL coaches are very conservative and starting Pickard is a radical move. It’s also a very risky move. Pickard would have so much pressure on him. Though if Skinner sewers the oilers again, i think they start him in game 5
I don't think he will throw any hits. Given the outcome of the Soucy hit leading to a McDavid goal which arguably cost the Canucks the game, I imagine Juulsen recognizes the importance of good positioning.
I read this as giraffes and laughed to myself.
