Who else are you going to play though, seriously? I think that's part of the problem. It's bad choice a, b or c.

There is no reason for him to be the #2 dman. That's ridiculous.

You're right that it's ridiculous. But our current D situation is ridiculous. Who would you play in his place?

This game is just sad.
No concerted back check.
No pressure from the power play.

Playing their way to being sellers and in the lottery.

Unfortunate it is a CRAP pool of players this year

So you agree that MacDonald counts as a bad choice?!

Just because he is a bad choice doesn't mean there's a better choice, unfortunately.

The power play is 2 for 3 so far.

Waive Schultz, call up Morin:
Provorov-Gudas
MDZ-Streit
Morin-Ghost

AMac and Manning can share popcorn in the press box

Why not play this lineup with Ghost instead of MacDonald? You'd be substituting your best possession dman for your worst

Only D pairing that looks good there is maybe the first one. I don't think anyone wants Morin up here with this poop going on.

remember Matt the goat Carle
he's currently unemployed because no other team in the NHL wants him. Same would happen to Andrew Macdonald.

Hasn't MacDonald been scratched this season, too? Ghost is a disaster defensively right now, and his negatives outweigh his positives at the moment.

This may be controversial, but I think AMac has a better defensive game at the moment than Ghost. Which is pretty (frank)ing sad.

As well as MacDonald has played today, especially on the PK, it would be surprising to see him sit out.
