McLoed was sent to Bakersfield yesterday. Sceviour was a healthy scratch yesterday. Turris has been meh to ok but you have to keep a guy like Sceviour warmed up plus if your sitting Yamo you need another guy on the PK and that would be Sceviour.

ueop agreed. Good on Tippet sensing MacLeod to Bakersfield. Dont know why, nothing seems imoroved since last year, thats very critical for a young player.
Benson seems to me not be actually ready fot the league. Im firmly belive that Turris will stay in the lineup.

Shane Wright should pull a Lindros right now and say he won't play for Arizona.

It's just embarrassing for everyone involved to see the team they are icing and how bad they are attempting to tank.

He will when the refs start calling less penalties. What are they scoring 5 on 5? That is they key here. We know they play together on a PP
Drai/ Pul 1.67 PPG ES Mcdavid 1.33 137/137/109 prorated even strength and this shows so far Puljujarvi deserves more time on pp

Well if there’s a game you wanna run 4 lines and 3 D pairings and spread out the ice time this is the game.

Tanking on purpose sucks because there are a bunch of youngsters who wait their whole life to get tot he NHL. Can ruin their development the way Arizona does it. Heck, even their owners sound like a buncha turds.

Skinner has been officially recalled. Honestly, I would start him in the tough game because the expectations should be lower in the tougher spot. Get the 2 points against the Yotes, and see what the kid can do against the best in the division.

Man for 3 games into the season, Mike Smith sure took a lot of bumps. Not just last nights game. Our tire fire D better get their shit together fast. In any case, it'll be interesting to get another look at Skinner. Liked what I saw Pre-Season. If he can come in and be the real deal, it solves a lot of problems.

Yeah. I love the opportunity to see him in a game or two early in the season while we are sitting in a good spot. Planning for the upcoming offseason with the cap situation gets a whole lot easier if we are confident Skinner can give us 30+ games next year and the best way to find out is getting him into some games this year.

He's earned it. Already good to great at the AHL level.
