Pre-Game Talk: Steel Drums

Your crazy.

Campbell's remaining starts IMO

@ Arizona (first half of a back to back)
vs Anaheim (second half of a different back to back)
@ Anaheim (part of a run of 8 games in 5 days)
One of @ Colorado or vs San Jose

Don't pull him in any of them, no matter how much he stinks.

Yeesh, I thought the schedule was bad enough, didn't realize they were having them play multiple games in a day now

Call me crazy but I'd start Campbell again. Give more rest to Skinner.

Play Skinner Saturday.

Your not crazy your institutionally insane

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Going to the game tomorrow.
Although my seats are in the upper row, are fans allowed to watch the warmup in the lower bowls? Hoping to get a better view of Ekholm and Bjugstad (maybe a puck too lol)

You can as long as you don’t go to the club section. Just head down one of the sections on the sides (122-134) and you should be good.

An ass.

8:30 start? That's crazy.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

I have to be up at 4:00 am tomorrow morning. Naturally, I hate these extra last start times. Hate to be a party pooper but I'll probably just skip it all together. I missed the best parts of the Sharks game too lol.

Also call up Pickard and see what he can do. This soup has Swiss cheese in it.

 

[Porkleaker]

The good news is the Kings are on a break, hopefully they eat and drink lots and come back sloppy.

 

[PaPaDee]

I wish we could send Campbell down to the AHL for a couple weeks to play a lot of games and hopefully build up some confidence. He needs to play a lot to try to find his game again, but can’t risk that with the Oil right now.

I guess we know how easteners feel. But yeah I won't be able to catch the end of this one.

No thanks.

Campbell can play the Yotes on the 27th, and the Ducks on April 5th. That’s it. Skinner should play every other game for the rest of the year.

 

[Mr Positive]

There's also the chance that the last couple games will have no standings impact. If that happens, I could see Campbell going in

True. I guess we’ll see how the end of season plays out

 

[PostBradMalone]

I would have 100% called up Pickard for this one- as much to rest Skinner as to give Campbell another kick in the ass. This was the perfect no-risk situation to try it in.

He doesn’t need a kick in the ass, he needs confidence. That would do the exact opposite.

 

[PostBradMalone]

It’s a shame Campbell doesn’t make literally millions a year in order to hire the best mental health experts and/or sports psychologists so as to help him in this department. Maybe $10M a year would allow him to get the assistance he needs?

Or a team would provide that for him. Maybe he is working with them, who knows. All I know is that a ‘kick in the ass’ would have the opposite of the desired effect.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

The 8:30 start time is because it's the late game on TNT. Only 2 games today, this one and PIT at COL is the early game.

The Coyotes are crap on the road. Their last win on the road was 13 February against Nashville and the one before that was on November 23rd against Carolina.

 

[Sanchez]

8:30 start time, on a Wednesday night at home, is a f***ing joke! Let's be honest, the puck drop will probably be 8:45. There's only 1 other game tonight, at 6:00 and sure it's a marquee matchup, but you can't tell me you couldn't have that game start at 5:00 or at least the Oiler game start at 7:30. Hey NHL, most people have 2 devices and can watch these games simultaneously, if they wanted to watch both!

Wait I just thought of something.....Yotes were in Winnipeg last night and probably still on the bus and thus the late start time.

 

[FlameChampion]

8:30 start? That's crazy.

You know whats also crazy. There were like 15 games yesterday and theres 2 today. I dont think NHL has a clue how to schedule games. I dont think they understand what market they are in. I really doubt that that North America is tuning into watch a Oilers and Coyotes game at 8:30pm MST (10:30 EST). They think they are the NFL on a Thursday Night or something. (and guess what they start a game at 8:15 EST).

 

[SaltNPeca]

Unless there’s a back to back Campbell has to sit.

agree... why is it even a discussion if & when to start Campbell. At this point : you don't

As a professional he needs to stay ready and play the games he gets (currently should only be back-to-backs or replacement due to injury). This player needs to play his way into more starts, not be gifted them.
