"Reimer should've started"
And then he has a bad game and people complain that Luongo should've started. lol
I think the complaints this time are more because Luongo seemed a bit fatigued even in the Rangers game

That's the fear. This franchise has faltered when put in this exact spot time and time again. Will it be different this time? Who knows, but I am curious about the fans part. This is the reality: what any fan thinks, writes, feels, posts, hopes, tweets, blogs, cheers, whines, or grumbles about has ZERO impact on the outcome of professional hockey games. Optimistic or pessimistic doesn't matter. I see a bunch of that around here. If a person takes the time to come on here and read and write about this team, they are a fan. How they express themselves is their own.
The key is our stamina and it's the same story as last year. Rowe had the team in a better position than Boughner at the TDL and they collapsed. When they lost a few games he scapegoated Smith and a few others and that certainly didn't help matters, but the fact is a team doesn't go 6-13 down the stretch because they hate the coach................the top guys were exhausted and couldn't perform. You play your top guys an average of 22 or 23 minutes a night, it comes back to bite you.Our record since the all star break is excellent. We weren't going to win out. Let's see how they play Thursday before everything turns dramatic.
We also have a four point game against CBJ coming up. After Boston, 5 of the next 6 are against teams below us in the standings and we play CBJ.

Both had 1 decent stretch each during the season. But for the most part both have been subpar with an average of 3 or more. With a young D like we have a more consistent and younger upgrade is needed.
Your theory makes no sense because we're playing our best hockey late into the season and Lou had time off because of his groin injuryThe key is our stamina and it's the same story as last year.

The thing that should make our chances better this year is the players are a year older and in better shape........especially Barkov. I think it will likely be close but I wouldn't be shocked if they rolled over and went belly up due to Mr. Boo's burning the candle at both ends. Expectations for Lu and Reimer are probably too optimistic since their groin injuries. When a coach doesn't trust anyone but his top players, it's a tough habit to break when the season is on the line.
Mamin should absolutely be in for Haley next game, or McGinn. I really don't care.The problem with Haley is he only provides value to the team when the team is tied or up in games. When losing by 2 early or 1 late, you can't put him on the ice.
Nope, I'm on vacation.Your theory makes no sense because we're playing our best hockey late into the season and Lou had time off because of his groin injury
Did you watch the game last night? It wasn't a fatigue issue.

Oh shocking. Another declaratory statement based on not viewing a game.Nope, I'm on vacation.
If they don't make it, I'll look forward to your thoughts on what happened.
Per Matthew DeFranks, no Trocheck and no Petrovic (Brickley centering line 2). Hopefully they just need a day off?
Maintenance day for Tro. Petro day-to-day with a LBI.
