Every time I see Schaller in the top 6 I die a little inside.

He has ZERO assists in the past 15 games and 2 goals..

Last games stat line: 0 goals, 0 assists, 0 shots, 18:08 TOI

Like wtf put your bottom 6 players in the bottom 6 and bring Backes up to the wing with them?

Maybe putting Schaller on Krejci's wing is a way to get him to waive his NMC.

Laughed out loud at work - thanks bud :laugh:

Seriously tho.. wtf does the Schaller bring to this team? Why wouldn't Beleskey slot in there?

Whether you like Schaller or not, throwing Belesky to the wolves on a Top 2 line right off the bat probably isn't a good idea.

He might be able to bump Schaller down by the 2nd or 3rd period, but starting Belesky on a lower line at least at the beginning is the wise move.

like his energy, have nothing but time for him, but that time is best spent on the 4th line, 3rd line when in a pinch

Why would they fire a coach and let him coach one more game? Doesn't make sense to me.

That's where the GM needs to step in and put a stop to it.Sweeney is really just a puppet in Boston. Cam is running the show.Anyways Need these 2 pts.This will be easiest if such a thing in next 4

No GM would ever ever ever do this to a coach

Who plays and in what situation should absolutely be an organizational decision, not just one made by Claude. When Sweeney first announced Claude would stay after the 2015 collapse, the main takeaway from that presser was that Sweeney and Claude need to be on the same page and Sweeney wanted a more up-tempo transition game.

They're going to win going away tonight, just to drag this out even longer. I called 6 goals from them last game and was feeling pretty confident of that after a 4 goal first, but hey, they stopped playing. Not tonight. Tonight they're going to go full tilt and show everyone that they have more than enough talent to play IF they want to bring it night in and night out...

HOW and WHY is Nash and Hayes playing above ANYONE on the 4th line?! I'm in absolute disbelief.
