13 forwards in warmup? Wonder who they’d consider taking out.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Hearing Hall is scratched because Hynes hasn't liked his effort the past few games.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Fine with that tbh, give Bratt a game off. One. Game. Put him back in next game I don't care if we win today or not.

 

[liquid1988]

Looks like Stafford is in for Bratt tonight...

 

[NJDevils17]

I don’t like Bratt being out after he’s had good games. Should’ve scratched him 10 games ago.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Really would have liked to see Grabner on Zacha's line but Bratt getting a rest is good. And Noesen is getting his chance now to stick in the top 6

Good to see the stupid ass Zajac experiment only lasted one game

 

[Better Call Sal]

I thought Bratt had been playing better but am not opposed to him sitting a game.

I like those lines in theory, wouldn’t mind seeing Maroon up and Noesen back with Zajac and Grabner.

Good plays with the puck or not he has been getting ragdolled out there moreso as of late

 

[haak84]

if bratt plays then he is going to get rag dolled. he is just not strong enough yet. they need to utilize his high skill ability. 8-10 minutes a night against the teams slower/less skilled lines.

im OK with the game off but agree that it should have happened 5 games ago.

 

[Blender]

Bratt probably needs a rest, but it should have happened 5 games ago. He's been fine the last couple of games and looking more like himself, but he still needs his minutes managed right now. Stafford has been f***ing useless this season.

agree but he was much better the last few games. id still be surprised if hes in the league next season.

 

[My3Sons]

dislocated my patella yesterday morning playing hockey and still can't walk. really need a win tonight.

Ugh here’s to a speedy recovery

 

[OmNomNom]

Bratt scratch

It's okay. I think it's needed

 

[NJDevils17]

I guess I agree with Bratt being scratched overall because he needed it, I just think it’s an indictment of Hynes as a coach that he didn’t do it like 10 games ago when he really struggled but instead after he had that great goal and had been playing better than he was.

You'd be surprised if he was in the league next year? What...

 

[liquid1988]

Ok...someone tell this Arda Ocal to STFU...embarrassment

Agreed. It sends the wrong message when you keep a player in the entire time he's playing poorly, but then scratch him when he's on an up swing again.

 

[haak84]

i dunno i guess i could see hynes wanting bratt to find his game again before sitting him. that way bratt doesnt need to question what it takes to get in the lineup while being benched. ill wait to see how this plays out before damning hynes.

 

[Cheddabombs]

nevermind

just saw your post lol. Carry on

 

[haak84]

?

He's not that weak. He will be in the league 100% next year and he will be better.

i knew i should have mentioned that it was stafford i was referring to

 

[Wolf Stansson 30]

I feel like Zacha needs a little more skill on his line. I'm glad Bratt is getting to watch this one. These young players aren't used to playing 80+ games and at such a high level.

Oh.

 

[Hughes86Hischier13]

Ok...someone tell this Arda Ocal to ****...embarrassment

that was so cringe to watch
