Dahlin's got to not give that puck away so easily. Still 11 seconds in the period, that's plenty of time for a counter and Barzal on the ice. Hold it, force it to center ice and then dump it, if you're just going to kill the clock.

It would be cool if Skinner’s contract ends up coming in with a soft landing akin to what we are seeing from KO’s

Are you saying you hope he plays better as he ages?

You are very optimistic this evening.

Not necessarily better, but after a dip in production Okposo got back to pretty good value here - dunno if Skinner can do that to the tune of 9 mil but hopefully a similar trend

I'm guessing he gets bought out in the summer of 2023. Then, there's only one gnarly cap hit ($6M) in the final year of the deal 2026-27. But otherwise it's entirely manageable.

KO suffered from multiple concussions during the dip in his play, including one that was life threatening. Not sure there’s much of a reason for Skinners lack of production the last few years, while Okposo’s can be at least partially explained.

Because he's calling the game off a TV in Buffalo. He can't know for sure if it goes in right away.

It’s because he is not RJ.  Therefore he must suck.  I love RJ more than anyone, but I’m  tired of the complaining about Dunleavy.  This team has bigger problems.

Krebs leading our forwards in ice time 👀

Which means I must wonder about Ellis controlling the line changes.  Could be a quirk. Let’s see how the next period goes.

I’m familiar. Reading a lot into a statement that was basically, “it would be cool if our perception of the contract changed like it did with KO’s”. 

No, I don’t think it’ll happen

I agree plus he’s not on site he’s doing the game via the same feed we get, give the guy a break already.
