Manning has impressed me these last few games
- Just5

Riley smith toasted him on goal #1
Actually it was just a great play by smith more so then a manning mistake

i'd prefer that as well...i think it's just better to move on now and open up the roster space.

Mostly they lose moxie by sitting white
Their hockey skills are pretty even
One gets a lot of PK time, the other minimal PP time

Scratching one of those two won't change it much either way

If they get 3 of the 4 points in b2b Detroit and Chicago I'd be happy
Especially if they can beat the red wings in regulation

It's great having meaningful games still

Weal is taking space too. Don't forget him. He would be down tomorrow in the AHL if he was exempt.

I wouldn't mind seeing him tbh
Really tough right now to make any change the way they've been playing

I remember reading his timetable would probably keep him out unless they make the Conf or Cup finals.

Thanks, I hadn't heard that.

Just looked it up. Recovery time is 3-4 months. At the low end, he'd maybe sneak into the Cup Finals. At absolute best. So yeah he's done for the year.

I think you have to think about their roles too. Vagner has been playing great but not sure if he continues that in a lesser role.

Neuvirth should've started tonight

The role thing is exactly what Haks will say when they scratch Gagner for Jake.
Least disruptive too.

Would prefer to keep Gagner and slide Raffl down which changes 2 lines. I can see sitting Gagner for Jake though. I get that, just not what I'd do.

Was there any reason given for sitting amac other then "he is not good"?
