Wasn't able to watch this game, but curious how Archibald looked? I assume that the hope for the team is that they can flip him for a pick in a week, otherwise it seems pointless to have him play at all.

I thought Archibald was fine. It was his first game of the year so he didn't play a ton, just 6:26 but that shouldn't be surprising. He played 1:26 on the PK was was decent as the Oilers killed all 4 TB PP's. I thought he looked fast. He rang a sure goal off the post so the hands aren't there yet but nice to see him get that chance from the 4th line. Had 3 hits, absolutely drilling a guy. Now some people will say he went out of position to make that hit. Maybe he did but if the chance you give up is a 50ft unscreened shot from a defensive dman to absolutely blow up a guy who deserves to be blown up in Perry. I will gladly give up that chance especially since Koskinen should have had that shot in my opinion. It wasn't Hedman ripping a 100MPH top corner bomb, it was Bogosian putting a puck threw Koskinen. And he took the fight with Sergachev who is WAY bigger than him.
