Re: Paille in, Afinogenov Out!!!

How the hell am I supposed to give Max the benefit of the doubt for the playoffs if he isn't even going to dress?

Re: Paille in, Afinogenov Out!!!

wow, how embarrassing.

This might not be a good move though- Paille did not impress me at all.

Max led the team in turnovers during the regular season, according to one of the dumbasses on VS. I would have guessed that, but didn't know for sure.

Can't have that stuff in the playoffs if you expect to win it all.

I think you reinstate Afinagenov for game 5 with the hopes that this game time scratch gave him time to get his head screwed on straight.

Putting Connolly between Mair and Paille is Pretty Much telling him to try and play by himself, Mair isnt gonna score, and neither is Paille,

Put Connolly between Briere and Poms, and Move Hecht to the 4th Line with Gaustad and Mair

I gotta wonder if shellshock from Max's benching contributed to the listless play. Although if it did, that's a sign of mental weakness. But it's hard to dispute that what happened was the opposite effect of what was intended.

I forgot that Gaustad should be back by Friday. I hope he's ready to knock the rust off early.

Our goal (and the denied goal) came with Briere-Connolly-Kotalik on a line

He played like **** in game 4. He knows what he needs to do to get himself back in the coaches graces.

I agree. I'm talking about how the rest of the team reacted to it

Do you think? I don't know if their effort tonight was a response to Max's "punishment". The players know when they are doing poorly and so do their peers.

I don't know either, just speculating. But the way they looked for two periods, it was like someone punched them in the gut
