You know how every coach has that one player that they give minutes to even though he's a useless plug and all the fans hate him ? That's basically what Carle-Sustr is. It's like the Zac Rinaldo of defense pairings.

In related news, Carle-Sustr are practicing together again today.

Coop has beyond pissed me off now. These lines are not going to make you win against the Rangers. As per no Drouin I think it was DFC who said it, he is likely going to be back in the AHL next season or likely traded in the off season for some picks and maybe a bottom 6 forward.

Drouin is not getting traded. I wish people would quit being so melodramatic over a 19 year old rookie not getting ice time in a deep playoff run against men.

Coop's roster decision ***** me off as anyone but let's not overreact just yet though. I personally learned my lesson game 6 against Montréal. He earned my trust until we're eliminated...Let's see what happens tomorrow...

Just great:



Sad part is that even if Paquette were in serious pain Cooper would rather run with him or go 11f/7d than give Drouin a chance.

I'm half convinced Cooper has some deal with the local liquor shops to continue playing Sustr/Carle as a pairing. He probably gets a slice of their improved sales.

Plays Marchessault, Morrow and Namestnikov, goes 6D, drops the mic and walks away.

Ok, I might of prayed last night that Paquette would be off Cally's line but I am not taking the blame for this one. lol.

It's great that you seem to know that Coop but how about you put a team on the ice that will be able to play with depth?

Do you guys know what is our record going 11F/7D ?

4 wins to 1 loss... And that one loss was game 5 at Montréal where we finished with 11 more scoring chances than the Habs.

So what you're saying is that we win when Nesterov plays

I like it when we go 11f/7d, I think it's great way to keep the other team on their toes since they never know which players that will be out there and it's hard to defend against that.

Why would Coop do something that consistently gives good results when he can keep trying to force things that don't because he thinks they should give good results?

After the last two series, I'm immune to panic or fury with regards to game results or personnel decisions.

I like to hear that he saw this, now I just need to see what they are going to do about it out on the ice.
