BENCH CHABOT

[Asquaredx2]

No. C'mon.

 

[SensBrawler]

Chabot has missed three games this year. We allowed a combined 17 goals over those three games.

So, no......no I would not recommend benching him.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

What about the 2nd Leafs goal?

Look in the GDT that's when I started quoting DJ and saying Chabot being overused.

 

[cudi]

Yes. Lets instead play one of our other amazing defenseman 30 mins a night.

Sorry missed that point. A guy like Pronger could log heavy minutes and not affect his game. Obviously that's not the case with Chabot.

 

[Sens Vader]

I expect Chabot to make some defensive mistakes

I dont expect chabot to instantly give the puck away on a clear 3 on 1 in OT before even entering the zone. That was pathetic

The guy who played with teams that had Al Macinnis, Scott Neidermeyer and Kimmo Timonen for 15 of his 17 NHL seasons?

And was on playoff and contender teams for 15 straight seasons?

This the benchmark we gonna have for Chabot? Comparing him to one of the greatest 2 way D's of all time that actually had support?

 

[dumbdick]

My only explanation for this thread is that it's from a lost and drunk habs fan, badly misspelling the title of his thread about "Ben Chiarot"

 

[Deku]

I was very annoyed with the gaffe in OT but this thread's existence is somehow dumber than the turnover.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

I wish there was a rule against embarrassing thread titles.

You don't bench your #1 Dman but you need to reduce his minutes. Enough of this "he's better when he plays more mins". That is NOT the case.

We need another top LD dman that can eat minutes. Only one we have in the org is Sanderson.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

He doesn't need to be benched, he needs help. The team desperately lacks another top 4 dman that can take away minutes from him.

If he missed 3 games now I'd doubt the team would allow the same amount of goals.

But yea benching him would not be a smart decision. Dial his minutes back.

 

[Xspyrit]

Bench the best player on the team. Got it

Bench the only top-4 D-man on a team that gives 5 goals per game on the road.

Do it DJ!

Can't wait for Reilly 30 mins a night against Matthews and McDavid!

 

[Ouroboros]

Should have just dumped it in instead of selfishly trying to win the game. This is why we need a vet presence like Gudbranson to make sure these sorts of things are nipped in the bud.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Let’s not be silly lol

 

[TSA0402]

He makes about the same amount of f**k ups as Karlsson did, yet he is forced to play 35 minutes with a worse defense behind him.

I mean I'm not thrilled with what he's doing, but give him a decent defense behind him and I'd be surprised if that happens as regularly.

 

[foggyvisor]

Yes. Lets instead play one of our other amazing defenseman 30 mins a night.

Mike Reilly is ready.

 

[TheNewEra]

Saying something so stupid should result in a permaban

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

He is, by far, the best player on the team.

Play him less and find players to help him out.

 

[Answer]

Bench the poster who created this thread

 

[Flamingo]

Sounds like the consensus is that Chabot has a conditioning problem.

Low stamina.

 

[Flamingo]

Chabot carries the puck out of trouble. He uses his legs much more than Pronger did.

Pronger’s elbows might get tired with his style of play, but he didn’t have to have the heart and lungs of a racehorse to log those minutes.

 

[bacon25]

Calm down. When the guy is expected to carry the team you get put in a lot of tough situations. Everyone makes dumb plays, accept it as it is and move on. No need to get panties in a bunch.

Thing is...you're at the mic, you're being asked questions and you gotta say something

What you cannot say is "i don't have any confidence in my 3rd LD"

Chabot's numbers jumping to 30 a night pretty much correlate with Brannstrom needing more seasoning, Wolanin drawing in but playing roughly 5 minutes less a game than Brannstrom was playing
