Than Ralph will get angry at Jeff for not producing. Same thing happened last year.

I have a feeling that if you flipped those third and fourth lines, people wouldn't be nearly as outraged about Skinner's spot.

I think these lines could actually work really well, with the Skinner line getting sheltered offensive zone minutes. That masks Skinner's defensive woes, helps ease Cozens' transition into the league, and gives Cozens a real offensive talent to work with.

Frankly, I have no idea why everyone is up in arms about this.

They are going to play the Eakin line a lot. I’m having doubts that It’s going that Cozens won’t be in the lineup either. Skinner doesn’t mesh well with Lazar this was proven last year...
