These Are The Days
Oh no! We suck again!!
Was pretty interesting listening to Eddie O and Pierre so openly questioning Coop's use of Sergachev as only D man on ice up by 2 on the PP late.
No better time to teach him than now and no better time to learn than the playoffs if you're Sergachev. I applaud Cooper for getting him out there when he did for every reason Eddie and Pierre argued against. If you're not gonna put him out there with the game out of reach then when exactly is he supposed to be out there? They'll gush over McAvoy playing in every situation with Chara but this is where they draw the line? Sergachev is young but he cannot be sheltered forever. Right now the focus is just on easing him in and Cooper gave him just the right use at just the right times. Next year I'm sure we'll see more responsibility given to Sergachev. I hate to say it but I don't think it's much of a secret that we are grooming him to one day be Robin to Hedman's Batman. It's a shame but the talking heads will never see the big picture that Lightning fans will of what Cooper was trying to do there.
