So those who think/hope Skjei is removed for the playoffs… Birthday boy led the team in even strength TOI and was 2nd overall. The newcomer, Mr. Smith, as last of the D. The kid, much like Tanner Glass, is the least of their problems.
Having watched Auntie play that stretch (and his other games earlier in the year) I wonder how much Shampoo Boy’s inability to handle the puck plays into some of these disasters. Not only does Auntie save the D a little work (and potential for error), he sends the play back out quickly a lot too. Still beyond me after all these years why HL is so poor in that aspect of the game.

Beezle,
I don’t hope Skjei is the odd man out, but I do think AV will eventually come to that decision. As far as Smiths TOI last night. 7 minutes in penalties, including a 5 minute major that lasted a few minutes more than 5 because there was no stoppage. And just so everybody understands where I am coming from, I think Skjei should be the number two left side D, and should be playing a lot more than he does. You need to ride the young legs.
