I think Reaves is out against Carolina because you usually don't need a player like him against a team like that. Canes don't really believe in toughness.
Timmins was probably just filling in for Boosh today in practice. Pairs will likely get shuffled a bit so Benoit is back in if Boosh is out tomorrow. Could see something like
Brodie-McCabe
Rielly-Edmundson (can play both sides)
Benoit-Liljegren
We have too many injuries, Reaves should be playing. But idk i guess based on the practice lines he's not
Also, Im tired of being the "Reactionary" team. "Oh if the other team is dressing their tough guys, then we'll dress ours. If not, we'll match them"
You need to establish an identity and stick to it. If you want to be known as a physical team, then stick to your guns. Have other teams react to us for a change
Thats exactly why the Bruins went out and got Maroon the very next day we bullied them
Benoit must be nursing something. Minor enough not to be on IR but enough to give him some time to heal with the extra bodies around. I can’t think of any other reason. Otherwise Keefe needs to cycle the bottom pairing guys through to keep them fresh. Lyubushkin isn’t going to make it to the playoffs the way he’s getting hammered every night.
Benoit isn't nursing anything. He's simply scratched because Keefe wants to go with this current 6 due to right/lefty
Brodie should be sitting but his contract and name power is too much to scratch. It was cause media hysteria
