This is the absolute last time you want to switch things up. One bad game can dump an entire series. There’s been little continuity all year. It’s no wonder they’re not sharp. The lines switched all year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey is very much an old boys club sometimes and that makes me super nervous I’m sure they’ll make him an office guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lines switched all year Because Lindy Ruff just can't help himself. Had to get his grinders where he could in the lineup. I mean, he couldn't help himself in game 2 of the playoffs, down 0-1, and bumped the two biggest wastes of spaces on the roster up a line from L4 and scratched for better players. He's just out of his depths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old dinosaur thinking playoff hockey is like it was in the 1990s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to gamble on an up-and-coming guy rather than just cycling through retreads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I hate the "playoffs are different" mantra, would not shock me at all if Fitz tried to restructure along those lines. Move bratt out, maybe sign a bertuzzi.

Trade him to Arizona for Lawson Crouse and one of their bajillion 2nd or 3rd round picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 I find it comical that everyone is losing their ****. It's like, bros, it's our first go-round with this core. We weren't going to come in and light the world on fire. Even the Malkin-Crosby Penguins lost in 5 their first playoff. I know Stammer made a ECF but when Kucherov got up to Tampa, they got swept, I believe, in their first playoff series together. Nathan MacKinnon Avalanche didn't win their first playoff series until MacKinnon's 3rd playoff appearance. It takes time. The fact that we did what we did this year was awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
