Simmonds has been doing exactly what he needs to do the last 3 games, and now he's benched. Don't love that, unless it's just to rotate Simmonds, Spezza, Clifford to keep them all fresh and then come playoffs, the best 1, or perhaps 2, play.
Don't mind the D pairings. I've grown fond of Lyubushkin...but man oh man has Liljegren suddenly stepped up into a heck of a Dman. He went from being our #7-#8 to arguably being in our top 4. I think it can be argued right now Giordano-Liljegren is our second pairing over Muzzin-Holl tbh. Made the most of his chance with Sandin & Muzzin hurt
Back to back probably load management. He landed some hard blows on MacEwen too.Simmonds has been doing exactly what he needs to do the last 3 games, and now he's benched.

ready for this low camera angle![]()
With Simmonds I think more back to back.Agreed. Maybe since its a back-to-back Keefe wants to rest a vet like Simmonds. Only way im looking at this.
Because Simmonds deserves to play.
Good seats, bad tv.I don't like the Panthers camera angle
