Probably another year or two of thisIt feels too early to just be hoping for a Bedard point but man do we suck.
Not that it will make a difference in the outcome of tonight's game, to me it's poor management. Allan was good in the opener and his reward for doing so is to sit. It also puts Kaiser in a tough spot as he missed most of training camp. I seem to recall LuRich stating earlier in the week that Kaiser would play late in or after the road trip. That seems to be out the door even though Kaiser was not practicing with the top 6 as recently as yesterday.Looks like Smith and Allan are out, and AA and Kaiser are in.
Not playing Allan is just downright stupid. He was great. Why would you not want him to build off that?Looks like Smith and Allan are out, and AA and Kaiser are in.
Brodie is nowhere near Luke's idea of a good defender. It makes me wonder if the HC feels he needs to give Brodie some leash since his GM signed him? Based on what I have seen It better be a short leash.Coaches are the last to figure it out as always. Not only is Brodie not out of the lineup, they’ve tied him to Vlasic again. Why have one good pairing when you can have 0!
Jets win 7-1
Which is funny cause they're also responsible for Adam Boqvist and Nicolas "he reminds me of Lidstrom" Beaudinnice parting gift from stan and mark kelley is sniffing out some good defensive prospects before being canned
correct, mark kelley also comp'd byram to 'a bit of paul coffey' iircWhich is funny cause they're also responsible for Adam Boqvist and Nicolas "he reminds me of Lidstrom" Beaudin
Allan will play tomorrow, relax
I think it's just about working him in slowly, not throwing him out there in a back to back against good teams. I don't think they're viewing it as a punishment. I would assume the plan is to keep him up for at least a while, or why else subject Phillips to Waivers when they could have had him be a seat warmer 7th DMan?It's not the end of the world, but it's also bad for player development. It's one thing to sit him when he's slumping but for him to sit in the press box after a great debut as a rookie just doesn't make any sense.
It also send a weird message to the locker room for the young guys that hey you can play great but still be benched the next game.
