The Official NHL Thread
Jaydc:
For example,why is does he feel the need to put offensive players on checking lines where they have zero chance to flourish?Why does he bench an offensive player when tehy go two games without a goal but then he plays people like glass and hordichuk who on any other tream wouldnt even be on the roster.
Shallow:
The NHL really doesn't want Detroit back in the mix. I've never in my life seen so many BS penalties called on a team right after another. It's not just the PP Goals that come from them but the momentum gets killed with each one.
Jaydc:
The Nhl officiating is seriously the worst its ever been in these playoffs.The calls are so random with no consistency.They dont call blatant penalties then call some shit that makes no sense.Ive never seen the officiating this bad before.

Because sometimes you need the grit/character and checking of people like Hordichuk,Glass,Rypien in the line-up. If a guy Demitra isn't creating good chances on the second or third line, what else can he contribute? Nothing. So why not put a guy in there who can at least get the crowd goin with some hits and punish the opposition with some physicality?

Your right he should do that,but instead he puts demitra on the fourth line.Same with grabner.Why is a guy like grabner on the fourth line in a playoff game?It makes zero sense.he did it last season with mason raymond.He would put raymond on the fourth line with ryan johnson and hordichuk.What good does that do?Raymond is a speed skill guy and your going to put him in a checking role with two bona fide fourth liners?Thats just bad coaching.Sameas people being all over wellwood for not contributing offensively,but he would be playing with glass and bolduc.Alain has no concept of line chemistry.
