Let’s be clear. I hate the Wings. I have a bunch of friends who are Jackets fans, but second to the Wings. I hate that. I hate their “Hockeytown” smugness. Their Datsyuk-inspired entitled attitude. I hate the logo. I hate that their fans think that somehow O6/Gordie Howe means they deserve special reverence today. I don’t know if there is a team in all of pro sports that I hate more than the Wings, and that’s saying something because I am a hater.
The “Hockey Town” has not made play offs since 2016, let’s keep that streak going

This is a correct application of DSL's Principle of Equivalent Criticality.
It's been a while for us since games this late in the season mean something. Plus, scoreboard watching is becoming a thing again.

You seem overly bothered by this. Jenner traveled with the team before he was ready to play as well. It seems Waddell and HCDE like to get the injured players who are near-ready to come back a chance to travel with the team.

Ah, the post shows the Gudbranson post (the Tarasov post is hidden) and then your response. My bad.

Let's try this again. I actually don't have a big issue with this. Tarasov played well in his last start (I know it was a month ago) but Elvis was slow getting up from a play in the Dallas game (was worried he was hurt) and maybe HCDE wants to give him an extra couple days to be ready for the bigger game in Columbus. I know Elvis claims he always wants to have the net but we have seen from past experience that he wears down.

As a Sharks fan since day 1, I really disliked the Wings long before I moved here. We were well trained.
To this day my favorite hockey memory is the Sharks massive upset over the Wings back in 93-94.
If we review the latest GDTs, there wasn’t many compliments towards Elvis, so starting Tarasov shouldn’t be too big of a deal ?
Besides Tarasov was great in 3 out of 4 of his last starts

It's unfortunate it has been a while since Tarasov's last start with the break and all, but the Jackets are going to have to rely on their backup some while they try to stay in it. He is obviously going to get games to keep from giving too big of a load to Elvis.
The offense will just have to keep their feet on the pedal and keep up the pace. There will be a couple bumps here and there, but they have responded all year to adversity, so I have some confidence that they should be fine.

If we review recent game day threads, there are always a couple of people who blame the goalie for everything.
I didn't get to see the last game. It sounds like Elvis didn't have a great night but we just came off of 2 weeks off and a 4 point swing over these 2 games would put us in WC1. It is curious to see Tarasov get in right now. I'd personally lean towards getting him in Next Tuesday but I'm not in charge.
It sounds like Cam Talbot is playing for the Wings tonight. Are they planning to start Lyon for the outdoor game or are they going to trust Talbot for both games?
Just seems like curious goalie management since the break since starting Tarasov would have made the most sense against a WC opponent.

While I agree I would have preferred to see Tarry get the Chicago game, we are 2-0 in those two games so it's nit picking. I don't know about others but as much as I would like to win both games...I am OK with a .500 split in the back to back (just don't want to lose ground to them). And if that means playing Tarry tonight and having a well rested Elvis for the outdoor game I am fine with it. And if Tarry can get us an OTL or W, then we are set up nicely to take more points than we give up this weekend.
Elvis does like rest, he's cited the consistent rest this year as one of the reason's his play is improving.
But we're coming off of the long break, with zero back to backs, and THIS GAME IS HUGE. I don't get it, you should be going with your #1 who is playing hot right now.
As long as it doesn't land between the cheeks...
