matthews is #22 in toi/game among forwards this year at 19:50/game.

but yeah, tavares, mitch and matthews should be playing closer to 22 minutes a night since the rest of the team is poop.

He is 13th amongst C's

Not enough.

Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Kapanen was a good line before the injuries...
- Steven_Seagull

sure. if we have a 100% perfectly healthy team, than we are good.

2 players hurt and the injury card gets tossed more than wedgie's salad on a friday night.

The '3 mins left, 1 goal down - let's play the 4th' thing was f'n insane. And it's not like he did it 1-2 times either...
WTF was he thinking?
Can't remember other top coaches has done this multiple times.

Dumb decisions repeatedly. Time was up

Not enough.
- Santo_44

when you have 2 1C's, it should be.

problem is when you have 2 4th lines you either cut down to 2 lines or play one of your 4th lines.
- Steven_Stamkos

wut?

In that situation you play your best players - always - every time!

My guess is they always were.
- bobbyisno1

Nah. They were great.

- 21peter

typically you want your best players for the last 2 minutes.

not crazy to play one of your 2 4th lines with 3 minutes to go.

Maybe it's the MLSE way.. but to me it seems odd that Dubas didn't announce or do the firing... Shanaplan did...

I know when Ducks change coaches it's always Murray who does the announcement. Not the team president.
- dozerD10

Shanahan said himself that since he hired Babcock, it's only right that he be there to fire him.

You’re expecting way too much from depth players. They’re depth players for a reason...


Also, thanks for agreeing with me. You have potential after all.

problem is when you have 2 4th lines you either cut down to 2 lines or play one of your 4th lines.
- Steven_Stamkos

Umm yeah shorten the bench, easy decision


And if you don’t decide to do that the choice is to play the 2nd 4the line? Play players who have a shot at scoring when you need to. Playing your worst offensive player in that situation is madness.

wut?

This guy is an idiot.

Looking back, it's almost like he wanted out...
Hard to understand how a dinosaur like him could make that many insane decisions.

(frank) that I'm keeping Shamaham, i actually love it

- Steven_Stamkos

Having 2 1c means you play them both less? That is really not smart

Zero excuse to have your worse line on the ice with the net empty. None...

This guy is an idiot.

wow thanks!

Yeah it’s a stupid move. Play guys who can’t score when the clock is ticking down.

There was a game last week that they came back from tv timeout and ran out 4th line then 3rd line. That’s idiotic

I heard Clarkson is healthy.

Well, he does get paid the next 3 years... For staying at home? Maybe he wanted the Coach's Corner gig?

I'd like to see him beat the poop out of Ron MacLean...
