Chinny’s wristers are so damn hard they create juice rebounds all the time

Joke of an end there.
Too bad Johnny couldn’t bury that one, Isles came out on the better end of the luck there.
Plus a bit more weird defense from us…

As to Gus, he’s still makes smart, competent plays but he’s no first line player who should get the minutes Lars plays him. He’s just not the scoring threat you need on the first line. I still expect him to be traded but his role needs adjusted - even with the depleted roster.

That game is on Larsen … once again KJ an absolute game changer .. gets 12 min.... Nyquist with over 21 min, continues to be a boat anchor … Kuraly and Robinson continue to get 2nd line minutes .. Oh well … one step closer to the tank ..

Kent Johnson is good enough to be the 6th man on the ice, but not good enough to eclipse 13 minutes in ice time.

Not rooting for losses but I'm fine with ones like this. Team is playing better structurally. Hope Lars maximizes the lines soon tho. Give Chinny and KJ T6 minutes. They've earned it.
Bjork has potential to stick around. He looks so much more comfortable on the man advantage than his first few in that spot. Physical and solid at exits

this has to be one of the worst takes i’ve seen in my entire life on HF boards. (8+ years)
I’ll remind you about my earlier post, with 2 points tonight he now is at 11 points on the season which heading into tonight would’ve been good for second among all rookies in scoring despite playing an absurdly low amount of ice time per game.
if anything he deserves MORE minutes as he continues to develop into one of the finer young guns in the league.
so yeah, entirely disagree with your take that he shouldn’t play more than 13 minutes a night.
yuck.
The fact that both 91 and 59 were on the ice for the last 2 mins speaks of Larsen trusting them more and more

I understand why Lars likes the Kuraly line. They are a nice 4th line who in some games work well as a 3rd line. But playing them as your second line is indeed a non-winning tactic. It’s coaching defensively - not to be confused with using a defensive line.
Oh crap. I thought that post was sarcasm. Now that I read it again, maybe it wasn't?

Read my post(s) again over-reacty. He should be playing 18 minutes per night. It’s baffling that Lars trusts him to be the 6th man, but refuses to play him more - especially given the injuries.
