That’s what the press box is for but apparently unless your name is Ellerby, Burmistrov, Peluso or Tangradi you’re not in need of perspective.
Bingo. Are the inmates running the asylum or is Chevy interfering and telling Claude to play the high price guys? I would be fine with sitting Buff and dressing Ellerby for a couple. Who cares if we lose the next game or two, we're losing anyway. Send the message.
You want to see some fireworks? Sit Ladd for a game. I bet that wakes the team up. Or it could blow up in Noel's face... Just like playing Pavs in back to back games.
I don't think Noël uses his players properly and I am sad to say I think Huddy is not the right man for the job on the blueline. How is it no one has commanded Buff to play forward? He doesn't like it!? Good grief, he can't handle the minutes he's getting now. Buff puts up points but he doesn't do enough in our own end to balance it out. Trouba is at least as good as Buff is back there, he can take the spot. Dress Ellerby and scratch one of the fourth liners. If Ellerby stinks it up, scratch him and dress the next guy be it Pardy or Clitsome. Get some competition going.
