It is really funny to basically bench Mika for large portions of this game but immediately throw him out there with the goalie pulled.

NHL coaches are terrified of doing anything that isn't published in the little "HOW TO NHL COACH" pamphlet (written in 1992) they all get at the start of the season.

I've been calling it Lavi's Template for ages. It's so damn tedious. I'd fire him for this nonsense alone.

I think Lavy is largely trying to get it done with the garbage Drury gave him

That said, it’s indefensible that Cuylle and Berard were not out there for that last push. Giving the vets who were ass the whole game that opportunity in crunch time sends an awful message

I would like to hear a real justification on why kakko was benched over other players, and I am not a kakko defender

Also listening to Fox and his same bullshit empty answers drives me nuts. It's like he doesn't own any of it. It's just going to change on its own. Look in the f***ing mirror dude.
He's so lost in this interview.
Waiting to be traded my guess. He openly and through sources let it me known that he wants more ice time.
Maybe he has/had requested a trade?
His logic, more ice time means more points and more points means more money.

With the expectation of Patrick Roy's addendum in 2014 to pull your goal with 2:51 on the clock.

They've changed one thing in 30 years and it's spectacularly stupid.

Sadly I feel that he could play 60 mins a night & get marginally more pts

He's never been a pt getter & never will be.

Let me clarify something because apparently some people don't get it.

A lot of people suggested replacing Trouba, Lindgren, and Miller. Not one person suggested "hey let's give Mackey and Mancini a bunch more minutes and that's the roster; when do the Finals start?"

Also people's biggest problem has been specifically pairing Lindgren with Fox and they've sextupled down on that -- I think that's what we're up to now.

I have no interest in dealing Miller, too young, too much in his skillset and I'm willing to hold onto him until the next staff gets him.

Not defending lavy, but in today's world the coaches are an extension of the gm.

General Drury, Lieutenant lavy reporting for duty
