GDT: Game #27 • "Face/Off" • Coyotes @ Oilers • Dec 7 2022 • 7:30 PM • SN1/CHED

Holloway looked really good last game, surprised they're not elevating him in the lineup with all the injuries

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Seems like Kostin in fitting in nicely.

I would have thought Soupy would have gotten the start for this game to try and build up his confidence but after the last game teams performance I assume they couldn't risk it.

I dont think the team can trust him at the moment. If Campbell starts this game and plays poorly and the Oilers lose - its a pretty big talking point.

I've liked Broberg's gap control and defensive positioning, from what I've seen. I want to see him in more defensive situations, especially ahead of Barrie.

After how our team played in front of Skinner last game I totally agree. But there are only so many games against the bottom feeder teams and ideally those are the games you would want Soupy starting to build up his confidence.

They play opposite sides and pairs with Bouchard so you have to alter pairings drastically for that to happen or put Bouchard out in D zone face-offs more often and/or paired with top line and not sure we want that to happen.

I mean in situations like the PK and defensive zone starts. Broberg can play both sides, as I understand.

But Barrie cant so you'd be running 2 LD and 4 RD. IIRC Broberg had some PK time last game so he is starting to get PK ice time. I do agree he seems to be finding his way on the bottom pair right now. Best to let him ease in I think. Let his game grow. But I get your point.

I guess, it's not a growth year for the team. So you have to see if he can contribute now or not.

That's pretty well it. Crazy to see that we have a $5million AHL back up

Unfortunately we don't even have that. A backup would be playing games against Arizona, etc

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Sad panda is a little less sad.

Campbell already relegated to back up in his first year of 5 years

We got nothing on Florida and their $10 million back up.

We can't afford to not ice our best goalie when we're barely over .500, every game is important. If it makes Campbell and Holland look bad, so be it.

YUP Lol, i just was in the process of modifying my post to "AHL"

 

[Oilhawks]

3rd line is interesting

When the f*** is Foegele back?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

When the f*** is Foegele back?

“day to day”

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I couldn't tell you, more concerned about McLeod myself.

I agree but I don't want to see Skinner getting burnt out as well, then we would be in serious trouble.

If it wasn't for the teams last performance, this game would have been the perfect game to give Skinner a break and give Campbell a shot. After this game we have 2 against MIN followed by the next day against NSH and then STL. None of those games are ideal to start Campbell in. I hope Skinner has a strong constitution because if we can't afford to start our "Backup" against the bottom feeder teams he is going to be playing a lot and if we do make the playoffs I hope he doesn't get burnt out like what happened to Markstrom.

[Cloned]

They’re definitely starting Campbell in at least one of the guaranteed loss Minny games. It’s a throw away game anyways regardless of who is starting lol.

Campbell has got to play eventually and against the Yotes is the best chance to to gain confidence

burning Skinner out is less than ideal

 

[TheNumber4]

Will be interesting to see a full game of our future Top 4 D Chychrun.

Time isn't now. Maybe we can give Campbell pity starts when Kane is back, which hopefully might be sooner than expected. Right now we need to do everything possible to get out to Christmas alive in a playoff spot.
