Pickard in as backup, Arvidsson in. Per the Knob. Poor J. Skinner. I really don't get it. Can be that Knob just really doesn't trust his defensive game? All year he's been an odd man out on almost every opportunity to move up the lineup. Just something the Knob does not like about Jeff It tracks. Knobby has given zero love to Skinner all year. Not even sure he would dress if we were up 3-0 in the series. There is a lot of trust in Arvidsson, and even when he's not producing he is still allotted top 6 minutes. Ultimately I could give two farts who plays as long as it results in a win, but I do feel bad for the guy. A whole career with no playoffs and signs with Edmonton to finally get his shot. Played 11:12, dash 2 with 5 hits and has been an after thought since.

IMHO both are defensive liabilities, weak at puck possession and getting loose pucks, and slow.
I guess they decided Arv is the better of two .. he'll be a weak link.. unless he gets really inspired and bought a set of jet boots.
