He kinda played he was definitely out there more then Tk and Patrick

TK 2 mins in the 3rd period. Patrick benched. If they don't have faith in these kids why not just send them to LHV and play top mins and just plug in the slugs.

They won.

Sanheim and Patrick are learning, but the bench got shortened. This happens.

How would Tk and Patrick learn to be pros and how to play the game like a veteran without the mentoring of Dale 'sniper' Weise if they did that ?

I get they won, but we are not making playoffs this year. Hell im ok now with sending them down and have them play heavy minutes and important ones at that and develop this year then play 7 mins a game and benched in the 3rd.

Patrick can't go to AHL

Patrick was likely already on a short leash after his game against Calgary.

They can't send Patrick to the minors unfortunately

If they win tomm night the Flyers will be 3 pts out of the wildcard #inHakwetrust

Not only is it crappy for their development but doing this every game recently like Hak has is also going to run his other forwards into the ground. Coots is playing way too many minutes for example.

I'm fine with not making the playoffs, but folks cannot have it both ways:

1.) Play the young guys, no matter what. Team loses a ton, fire the coach.
2.) Make better lines with the vets on this roster and the young guys get no play. Team loses a ton.

I dont think this is helping these kids confidence either. They have to be playing worried to make a mistake and lose more ice time. Don't like how they are doing this back to back. these kids are ones we need to start developing in these situations and see how they can handle them.

- dragonoffrost

Exactly. No way Hextall sends him back to juniors.

He will need to earn his minutes in the top 6, quite simply.
