The sky is falling!!!! Krav isn't playing!!! I hope we lose!!!! Fire GG!!!!!! Fire Drury for not forcing Gallant to play Krav!!!!! Why do we always ruin our prospects!!!!!! Can't wait to lose in the first round!!!!! I denounce my fanship of this team until Kravstov gets guaranteed 15 mins a night with PP time!!!!

Did I do it right?
 
The former, however there’s no guarantee that we would not have won one Cup or more with Weight, Amonte and Patrick in the line up.

Hey, if they did what I wanted it might be 82 years and counting today.
It's hard to speculate what would have happened if we had not traded away our youth, but I always wonder if the conference finals would have been such a slog if we had Amonte's and Gartner's speed to nullify Jersey's neutral zone trap. It's basically why we went 6-0 against them in the regular season.

Kravtsov scratched so we are treated to another episode of the Leschytshow

Gerard "I don't change my lines after a win" Gallant needs to go.

This isn't about Kravtsov being scratched. I'm fine with that. But if we are replacing him with a waiver pickup who can't do anything, what's the point? Just call up Cuylle and play him instead. He actually does something.

Now THIS I approve of.

It's always okay and normal to wonder what if, even when things go right and you win because it's a valid question.

But that's not what is going on with a weird portion of this fanbase and Kravtsov.

These twitter bloggers and people I actually think would complain if we swept the Stanley Cup Finals 4-0 with Krav as a healthy scratch because if he played we would've managed to win the series in 3 games instead of 4. I wish I was joking.
 
I honestly just don't get it. If it was a goon, he'd say "we won, so I don't want to change the line up." Regardless of how you feel about Krav, this rollercoaster of lineups and roster changes is poor coaching. They had a great game and he wants to change things up. The only thing that makes sense if there is a trade about to happen.

I don’t think they had a great game but there is never any reason to throw leshitshow back into the lineup.

Name a single thing that Leschyshyn does well.

Eastern playoffs are the real championship. Only Dallas and the Avs really have a chance out west. Maybe Winnipeg if they get Toews or Meier. I prefer the Rangers path in the Metro than having to go through the heavyweights in the Atlantic
I wouldn't count Vegas or Edmonton out for winning the west.

They didn't have a great game and Kravtsov wasn't trusted to protect a 2 goal lead down the stretch. You want him on that line in the playoffs in a 1 goal game or in OT? He's not national league yet. He's not being screwed. He's being protected. He's not part of THE TEMPLATE. He wasn't this morning, or yesterday, or last week.

I really thought the trade was Drury copying the scene in Moneyball. Trading a bad player Gallant liked. Krav is your only option now.

Nope. Gallant will not be deterred. Unfortunately for GG, Kakko Chytl and Laf are forcing his hand to play them. But Krav he can still bully. What a loser.

What template? One that includes Leschyshyn? I dont care if the coach shortens the bench to protect a lead. Thats normal. Not every player is thrust into that position. I would love him in the playoffs over Leschyshyn. What template includes Leschyshyn? He's legit one of the worst players in the NHL. Id rather have Brod.
 
Does blindly defending kravtsov get tiring for people? He doesn’t bring anything to the table
I thought he played good last night. Did he make a difference? No. Neither did Kreider and Trocheck 5v5.

I'm just pissed that we have him on such a short leash, especially since there's no one more interesting coming up. If they called up Pajuniemi or Othman I would be fine with it. Or even Cuylle. I would rather see Kravy up there than Letchy or Goodrow.
