The yo-yoing of the kids is getting ridiculous. Second line one night. Press box the next. That’s a cold hard benching by any standard. But to Gallant it’s about matchups or keeping the extras fresh? C’mon.
The extras should be cycling on and off the fourth line. If you’re good enough to play in the top three lines, you should be a mainstay in the lineup unless you do something so egregious it warrants a statement benching.
Kravtsov has been playing well enough to warrant staying in the lineup. If I were him I’d feel embarrassed, pissed off, and not even sure what I need to be doing.

I fully agree with Schneider being saddled with subpar partners, but I would not lump Braun in with them.
Sure, he's a 3rd pairing defender and thats all, and we could absolutely find better for a higher price, but is the higher price worth it when you consider its for a 3LHD role that Braun fills just fine

You forgot the shoulder pads and the leg pads are too small -- someone might score a goal.

Scary how? They have had a few of these games that they look real good but overall their record sucks.
Gallant did well last year with the team. We went further than expected. I had a lot of goodwill towards him for that.
I am officially on the fire Gallant train as of today.
Benching Kravstof was the last straw.
Besides that his line up choices this year are out of whack. Putting 4th liners on the top line and second line. Also he never takes a time out when the team is getting shelled and needs one.

Maybe Blais at LW4. He hasn't really shown us much this year though so I would sit him this game

it's okay cause it's all just the way it should be
I don't know enough about when their next contracts come up, and they still have to pay Skinner for a while, but I wonder if that'll be the destination for one of our big contracts if it goes downhill here

It’s crazy. And if Drury is behind it (which I doubt, but let’s say he’s in on it) it’s even more egregious because if you don’t like the kid and don’t think he fits into the future, wouldn’t you want to increase his value?
Let him continue to show what he’s got out there instead of shutting him down after a few positive games. And a win for crying out loud

Wow its a nice GM
Tage Thompson might be the best contract in the league now. Superstar locked up long term holy

This latest shit knocked GG down a few notches for me too. It doesn’t make any f***ing sense.
And the way it works with coaches is a lot different than players. You start at 10 and then your actions with the club subtract that number. Very rare for anything to be done for it to be reversed

Call me when Thompson does this consistently
Up until than, Buffalo is a garbage franchise

Meanwhile, Kakko tapping Kravtsov on the shoulder.

He didn’t get to third in goals and fourth in points in the league in one game, bud

We got Tage lite lite lite AHL scorer in Gauthier. I wish Gauthier would break out sometime while Rangers still have him.

He did the same thing last year and made it work with great goaltending which is absent this year.. The fact is we don't have all the proper pieces . We have 4 real top 6 guys and 3 or 4 3rd line guys (and usually less with injuries) and 4 or 5 4th line guys and overall we are slow. Look at what happened at the trade deadline last year and how he was able to make things work with Copp , Vatrano and Motte. Pretty easy to coach when you have players to coach.
