there's one in particular I have in mind, who will be in next game after a slap on the wrist fine.

I actually think he should have finish the season with Laval and arrive with confidence in the PO

Are there any clips of Romanov in the stands or celebrating with the team after the games? I don’t remember seeing him on camera once..

I do Three bullets.
He was THE happiest guy in the tunnel celebration after game 1 vs the leafs
And I distinctively saw him arms raised high in celebration while in the seats next to the habs bench when KK scored the game 6 OT Winner.
He's a true team player, and happy for the boys, knows his time will one day come

hope he gets in tonight, really want him to get some playoff experience.
I hope not, let him come back after a loss. What if he comes back and MTL loses ? You want to avoid that.

it will be a learning experience for him. He needs to play, be a part of this team, win or lose.

I have a hard time buying Romanov couldn't do just as good or better than Gustafsson in the 10-ish minutes he's getting every game. I get that they won't change the lineup if we're winning with it but it still hurts a bit not seeing him out there getting valuable playoff experience.
Yeah, tonight's the perfect game to get him in. I was hoping game 1, but Kulak and Gustafsson didn't do terribly in the Leafs series, so hard to take them out. But after Gustafsson's turnover, and Kulak's as well on the Forbort goal, it's more justified to take one of them out

I won't be surprised if he comes into this series and looks like he did in January.
The last two years he wasn't playing big minutes and was also playing only about 40 games a season in the KHL. Similar to a lot of our players this year, he likely had mental and physical fatigue with the condensed schedule.. also he had significantly higher minutes than he was used to playing in the past.

You bring up a good point. Don't think I've seen him on camera in quite a while.

Very strange that we wanted him to play so badly last playoffs but he was blocked. Now he can play this year but he's held out. I'm ok with that to some degree but after 8 playoff games, I would have imagined he got a few games.
They won't change much if we win but if we loose a game here against the Jets, he should be inserted in.
Tvasports.ca showed a stat where towards the end of the year Romanov was on for the highest number of high danger chances against.
They suspect that's why he's not playing.

For sure. I get it and support it to some degree. Some teams like the Leafs are forced to play Dermott and Sandin due to lack of depth but we don't have to. This keeps Romanov focused and not spoiled. Keeps him hungry but he's got to play a game in the playoffs for experience at some point.
He's watching the game when you know he wants to play! This will create a situation where he looks at the reliability parts of others and how he is going to adjust his game. Some others will say Weber, Petry, Chiarot, and Edmundson make mistakes too and yes, they do. But they are more trusted and they got us to this point so it is what it is. None of us are NHL coaches
Meh...it's part of development and just because Sandin had an up and down series, doesn't necessarily mean Romanov will.
Gustafsson barely played last game and had a crucial turnover that led to a goal against....there isn't better timing to get him in the lineup than now.
If they go back to Gustafsson, then it's really not about "mistakes".

Will be interesting to see if they make the switch for tonight or wait for Gus to make more blunders before doing so.

I remember in one game, Ehlers got hit by Romanov a few times and later in the game, Ehlers tried to hit Romanov as he was trying to make a pass, but the kid is so solid that Ehlers bounced off him and fell. Romanov's famous reverse-hit after making a play.
After the game, Ehlers was asked about that and he said he didn't realize how strong the kid is.
