I originally said it when Bellows was drafted. So you're too late.Let’s not get crazy now lol.
Too many holes in that lineup to plug.Clutterbuck conditioning is great news.
Bellows obviously made more mistakes than Trotz is willing to accept, hence his lack of ice time later in the games. I'm fine with it.
Ladd and Koivula are plugging holes. Hoping Brass can go tonight and give us something like (based on recent lineups):
Lee/Barzy/Eberle
Beau/Brock/MDC
Ladd/Brass/Bailey
Martin/Koivula/Leo
Can someone let me know what is happening with Bellows. The team isn't scoring, and this exciting scorer is on the bench in favor of Johnston? WTF. How did he get on trotz bad side already? Trotz to blame here? Wht is going on? I haven't been watching this train wreck because I dont like Trotz offensive zone handcuffs

Ladd handles the puck better than 90% of the guys on our roster. He sees the game as well as anyone. His trouble is he can't skate anymore.Can’t pretend I know better than Trotz, but this still leaves me saying WTF....
In the thick of a playoff race is not the best time for a kid to learn but Andrew Ladd?
The guy is practically fossilized.
Isn't it?Accountability
Earn it
Force their hand
That's what we read all the time on here and now people are upset Bellows got sent down because he should've been given a chance with the top line. Amazing.
Accountability only applies to Komarov and Kuhnhackl when they screw up. Leave the rookies alone.Accountability

There’s no forcing Trotz hand. Bellows won us the game vs the Kings.
No young player with such little NHL experience will be mistake free. I thought the pros outweighed the cons. Remind me, how many goals has this team scored in the last 5 games?
We're gonna find out tonight, but I have to believe if Lou and Trotz, who have seen him up close, didn't think he could skate at the NHL level, they wouldn't bring him up.Ladd hasn’t played in the NHL in nearly a calendar year.
Not being able to skate is a fatal flaw. I’m sure Jagr sees the game as good as anyone too, but there’s a reason he isn’t in the NHL.
What about accountability for Lee, or Bailey, or other players who are struggling? What’s the harm in at least TRYING him on the top line when the lineup you’ve constructed has scored 2 goals in 4 games. You can’t play a forward line 25 minutes a night, you just can’t.It's just funny that people on here always talk about the same things and then when it happens they're upset because it's not what they wanted this time.
He got one game a month or two ago and I thought his skating OK....enough. I can't say I analyzed every shift but I thought he looked decent enough to warrant a second game. I've always been a proponent of giving him another shot so I'm glad he's up and hoping he can prove that he's healed up and still has something in the tank.We're gonna find out tonight, but I have to believe if Lou and Trotz, who have seen him up close, didn't think he could skate at the NHL level, they wouldn't bring him up.
This is what you do what you've done everything you can and nothing's worked but you still don't want to go out and overspend for a rental that isn't getting you to a Cup anyway.We're gonna find out tonight, but I have to believe if Lou and Trotz, who have seen him up close, didn't think he could skate at the NHL level, they wouldn't bring him up.
