Hunter Skinner

You don't have Peterson.

Hunter Skinner's not here anymore.

I don't expect Quentin Burns to have to do those kind of things just for the sake of doing those things because I think he's a reliable defenseman that they're going to have to rely on.

And I'll even give you one more because usually I don't say this either.

But I'm talking about your check wanted me to mention.

I do think that's one element of the Thunderbirds that they are really missing is an offensive minded defenseman.

I don't know if you have a different thought, but we've had Hunter Skinner, who we know we can score.

If you go back even further, you had Tyler Tucker, who might not be known for his offense in the NHL, but in the AHL, you give him an opportunity on the power play to let it rip from the blue line, he would score.

I mean, thank God that guy got picked up by Nashville.

It's not just Hunter Skinner anymore?

No, my God.

Back at night, it's a salty scratch.

Um, I liked Quintin Burns.

I, I do think, you know, have, missing a guy like Skinner, I know we said that last week, but I, I-

Yeah

... do think w- that presence, that player, that type of player will be missed, um, you know? But I, I, I thought they, the defense I thought played fine.

... and he didn't lose his marbles.

Mm-hmm.

But, you know, there have been times in the past where, you know, Theo Lindstein just looks panicked and, you know, I love him, but Hunter Skinner, 11 seconds into the season, doinking one off his own goalie into the back of the net.

Like, they looked calm.

You know, so I think that's a good thing.

Definitely going to I think we will feel not having Hunter Skinner.

You know, that's a big loss.

Leo Loof, although he did not play much at all.

And again, you're going to have injuries.

I think in looking at the list you made, between the key losses, you know, Akil Thomas and Bortolo and Dubé and all those guys.

I think your biggest loss is Hunter Skinner.

Yeah.
