I'd sit em for the rest of the series.

We played really good tonight and looked in sync with each other lines 1-4. Tootoo and Wilson played well..can't keep them off the ice for game 4.

This I agree with, but could you take out Halischuk and Yip possibly to get Rads and AK46 back in?

 

[govols120]

Regardless of who's playing, I can only hope we put up the same effort from last night tomorrow and take Game 4.

After getting a shutout with that effort, I don't think you change lineups Friday.

It depends on a lot of things, probably the biggest of which is the feelings of the team on whether or not they should play. That is too much offensive talent to sit for too long though.

 

[Velo Vol]

Make them sleep/stay at the practice facility today and tomorrow before the game in order to play.

 

[Escape Goat]

tie it up Friday and we have a good chance of taking this in 7

That's my thinking as well. I truly believe we are the superior team. Hope the early hole they dug isn't too deep to claw out of though.

huh?

Um ok

 

[Velo Vol]

If they want to play, they've got to walk the straight and narrow. No more late-night cavorting.

i'm glad you aren't responsible for managing this team..ha ha

 

[Velo Vol]

Given my hockey knowledge, the sky would be the limit if I was running the team.

If I'm Trotz, I'm leaning towards not playing. There could be immediate tension with players and fans, and they got a little momentum back. Sometimes, just like in football, a talented player doesn't always = a better team. Maybe tension with fans is pushing it but Rads is likely to get booed and our home ice energy is used in the wrong direction

That said, I also go to Suter, Weber and Legwand and see where the team is with all this stuff.

 

[YankeeVol]

That's a keeper

 

[Escape Goat]

That's one hot chick if you put a paper bag over her head.

 

[YankeeVol]

I think the fish may be a little distracting when it comes to her looks, or maybe the slime

Or if she simply stops making that chipmunk face.

I just noticed her face...

Trotz hasn't decided about "those 2" yet

2012 Stanley Cup playoffs -- Barry Trotz undecided about Alexander Radulov, Andrei Kostitsyn - ESPN

 

[Thrasher865]

Leave 'em benched, Barry!

 

[Thrasher865]

2012 Stanley Cup playoffs - Nashville Predators still considering leaving two Russian stars out of the lineup - ESPN

I asked Trotz if and when the time comes to re-insert his two curfew breakers, whether he feels he ought to put both players back in at the same time or if he reserves the right to just play one player. Which was really my way of asking if he'd put Radulov back in ahead of Kostitsyn, given Radulov's higher skill set.

Hmmm... I would argue for the opposite.

 

[YankeeVol]

IF Rads actually gave a f*** he'd be the better player

 

[BearCat204]

IF Rads actually gave a f*** he'd be the better player

He's Russian so his concern is pretty low unless we are talking money

 

[YankeeVol]

Oh I know

 

[Thrasher865]

IF Rads actually gave a f*** he'd be the better player

That's the problem. I think AK has played better of the two since they came in, so I'd play him over Rads.
