Pre-Game Talk: Desert Doggie Doo

[LTIR]

Like Tippett is going to break up a line where each player is averaging 2 PPG and over is not going to happen or should he, when some teams this season will be averaging 2.5 GPG

I guess now they finally have 1 goal at 5on5 in 3 games we can keep the top line.

Most of McDraiPulju points have been on PP or on empty net and not because they are clicking 5on5

sorry you're wrong all are above a ppg 5/5

Glad we upgraded over Koskinen because we saw the chance of this happening.

oh wait…

Did you want to give up our first and Kosk and Samorukov for Kuemper? Once the Avs lost Grubauer they paid a premium for him and I am glad we bowed out of that one.

EV points are not the same as 5v5 points, they include EN points.

No coach will break up that production till it goes stale the team is 3-0 top line is killing it PP and 5/5 how many of those points are on empty nets take them away and ES is still excellent

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Good news.

These don't factor in everything. EN being one.

Pulju ES goal vs VAN - pass from Nurse
Pulju ES goal vs CGY - pass from Ceci, Drai
Bouchard ES (fluke) goal - assist to Pulju, Drai
Drai EN goal assist Hyman, McD
McD EN hattrick goal, Pulju, Drai apples.

I guess I am wrong but to claim this trio is clicking at ES would also be incorrect.

 

[LTIR]

Good news.

Negative news is good news.

 

[Cerebral]

Any word on the lines they used at practice? Have they broken up the top line yet?

Let's see what they ice on road games. This line could be 'broken' as early as the next game to counter line matchups.

 

[Mr Positive]

Well I mean let’s just see how the Arizona rookie is before making any assumptions. Could be lights out

I haven't paid attention to that, partly because if their rookie is good, they'd keep him for the rebuild. Not sell him. But yes it's worth noting just to give the team due respect. They are still an nhl team with players with something to prove

I would start skinner in this game and play Koskinen vs Vegas.

I would start skinner in this game and play Koskinen vs Vegas.

I would do the opposite, bank the points with the Coyotes.

 

[McBooya42]

That guy looks like every beer league player over 30.

Except he'd score 20-25 goals on our second line.

 

[McBooya42]

How long we looking at for Archibald? He could be a big help on 4th

Not sure if he gets to play again TBH. Hopefully he does, but it's serious.

I believe that’s his modus operandi.

Please...what the hell would you call this past off season, not getting the job done? GTFOuta here with that tired trope.

 

[McBooya42]

Good news.

This is good news for the league period if so.

Loser mentality. You set yourself in the best position to win both games.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Arent Vegas missing Patches and Stone?

Arent Vegas missing Patches and Stone?

Yep

Not necessarily. We don’t know what Skinner is capable of. You could also play Koskinen both games since they’re off for a while after the Vegas game.

 

[LTIR]

Loser mentality. You set yourself in the best position to win both games.

Loser mentality would be to play the AHL callup over Koskinen next game. Koski looked great in preseason and saved the team last night. Starting Skinner next game would be giving him the big F you!

Ideally the team plays good next game giving Koski an easy night so he can make his 2nd start of the season vs Knights.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Looks like Koski is getting the start. I hope Skinner at least plays against Vegas then.

 

[Nico Hischier]

What are the chances koskinen starts both games?

I’m about to pick him up in fantasy and it will be my last add for the week
