there was a play where skinner was about to go down low to the corner and try to chip the puck over, and he froze for a second and started to skate backwards


that's not the skinner from 2018-19

Are you suggesting pre- contract skinner ? 🤔

When was the last time we didnt look slow and sloppy? Seriously!! Laziest fu*king team in the NHL. This looked like the last 10 years

Ralphy boy should be gone tomm. This is not a overreaction. No preseason and he said hes gonna take the day off. What?!?!? And its been said to move him upstairs and bring in a real coach.

I dont want him replacing the urinal mats in the pissers.

This is going back to the last few years of Lindy, even.

Eichel is at his wits end
At Hall isn’t gonna stick working on a losing team

Hutton blows, period. The end.
Get the f#ck rid of him & do what we have to do we actually have a chance to compete

Please, I’m just a fan like you. I think you should call KA or Ralph himself to get this going. If it works out I’ll be the first fan to say you were right.

Back-to-back? We play tomorrow again at the same time against the same team.

I don't actually disagree with playing the back-up in game 1 and the "starter" in game 2.

But Hutton should have been sent sea-worthy and sunken to the bottom of the ocean before the season even started. He's horrible.

But also, why can't Ullmark play 2 in a row?

You play your best goalie in the first game of the year. It's as simple as that. The best goalie is not Hutton

Laine is probably better now considering Skinner has been rendered useless

I could care less what they think about Ralphy. Great guy that won NOTHING. Or even won. We gonna let 24 year olds run the place?
- ZiggyBuff


Not necessarily
But having your top players like the coach isn’t a bad thing
And it’s the reason Hall is even here

So no, don’t let them run the place
But don’t alienate them either

I’m sorry, I can’t stand Lazar. I just don’t see anything

And he’s a Botterill guy so you know I’m not biasing bias being biased

Eichel & Hall are MORE IMPORTANT than “futures” we’d have to give up for a good goalie

If we stick with Hutton, it looks like we could lose them
Is that really what you want?!?!

If Ralph does t like Skinner’s supposed lack of defense, then he’s not gonna like Laine here either

Fair point
I’d have included Skinner, but he’s stuck here no matter what
Cozens looked alright
Skinner-Eakin-Cozens is worth a look imo

True
And with this offense, one would think he could wait a year or 2 for a better opportunity if he wants
