Nah after this game some people deserve to ride the bench the next game

Looks like I picked a good game to go watch a prospect instead

No mention of Bolduc in the post-game presser. Neither asking why he was benched or how he is doing if injured. He was benched after Cooley's goal. He wasn't on ice, but his shift ended a bit before that goal. Then he never saw the ice again. So, he was literally benched for half the game. I didn't see anything on his last shift to justify it. There was some contact against the boards and the camera moved away when he changed, so it could have been an injury. But most likely we were down 2, and the Montgomery shortened the bench to get back into it by playing dynamic goal scores Sundqvist, Torpochenko, and Walker but not Bolduc.

We have a lot of up and coming prospects if this is how Montgomery is going to treat them it is going to be bumpy. In a game were you bench the first line, and then do a mini blender because your down two; to not give a guy with actual scoring ability a shot or any ice time for that matter is concerning. I have seen nothing in Bolduc play to warrant that certainly he is better than Torro or Walker with Thomas.

Montgomery is good with young players that's why he's won championships in the last decade+ with younger players.

Bolduc was only 7th on my prospect list coming into the year. I had Fischer ahead of him. Maybe he will prove me wrong though.

Bolduc was still a +1
