The team couldn't make a change for the last 90 seconds of the game. Green literally could not have put Hoglander out.

(~)Hoglander continues to be one of the best 5v5 players on this team by a SUBSTANTIAL Margin. He is literally "Pettersson Light" at this point.

(~)Demko moves back into the top 5 in Goals saved above expected
-
(~)Rathbone got caved in tonight in the shot total, was fine halfway through the game. Him and Hamonic end up with the worse underlying numbers on the team. Not pretty for that pairing tonight.

Lol at those who didn’t change the channel to the good teams playing. Looks like a different sport.

Not after the time out??? Once a player on the ice scores an empty netter tje chance for a hatrick is gone you get that right?
If Hoglander wasn't the best player on the ice by a country mile it might be excusable and not a total dick move

Green screwing Hoglander like that is the least surprising thing I've seen today. Bet in his mind Highmore, Pearson, etc give us a better chance to protect the lead and win this super all important game, and that is more important than showing Hogs that you have confidence in him and letting him go for the hattrick, which would be huge for the kid.
Outside of that dickish move by Green, the team played well against a fairly unenthusiastic Jets squad. Hogs was great, Rathbone continues to look good. Demko was huge when we needed him to be. If only this team had somehow been 0.500 since coming back then they'd be right in it to make the playoffs right now, but COVID really took a ton out of them. Had COVID not happened I fully believe this team could've gone a game above 500 to end the year and made the playoffs with their original schedule. In any case, I hope they can find a way to get the kids into as many remaining games as possible, but ultimately lose a lot so we can get the best draft position possible. Though I fully expect them to go on a win streak now that it doesnt matter xD.

No an old school mentality and being too loyal to mediocre veterans and being unfair to younger better players
The ugly : 19 minutes of icetime for Highmore.
I mean, he's been ok as an 8-minute 4th liner, but that's up there with Keenan and Ciccone.

Rathbone credited with his first career assist on Hoglander’s second goal - attaboy!
(Miller was also credited with an assist on the goal. Also a good boy.)

I feel bad for guys like Highmore - and Megna and Chaput before them. Generally among the hardest working guys out there and their effort should make them fan favorites - but the coaches keep playing them over their heads and frustrating the fans in doing so.
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooglander!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't mind winning and getting useless points if it's the kids scoring the goals!
Hoglander
I'm Höglander. I can do whatever I want.
If Pearson had 2 goals, Green would've played him the entire time the net was empty. Disgusting. Fire Green, for the love of Gawd!

Lol so we should be pissed at the plug who didn't deserve 19 top 6 minutes for icing the puck?

You can get pissed at whomever you want...we won the game...you can get pissed about that , too
Great game by Hog..I bet he gets 20+ next season.
It's a weird insanity that seems particular to this franchise under this GM. Like, I can't remember this 4th-line-grinder-gets-18-minutes stuff from any other team.
Just with those guys :
Highmore played 82 games in Chicago, and played over 15 minutes once. 5 times in 12 games here.
Megna 63 games with other teams, over 15 minutes once. 13 times in 58 games here.
Chaput has played 105 games with other teams, over 15 minutes once. 10 times in 77 games here.

This one is clearly more political than the other weird coaches pets.
Benning knows his return for Gaudette has been roundly panned and his coach is very aligned with him.
What are you talking about?
Hoglander was playing with Miller and Boeser tonight at ES for the entire game.
That line went on the ice at 16:52 of the 3rd and came off at 17:23.
Then their turn came up again at 18:21 and Jimmy Vesey came on the ice instead of Hoglander with Boeser and Miller
They had a short shift, and then the Highmore line ended up playing out the game.
Green *clearly* benched Hoglander for Vesey with 2 minutes left and an EN. There is no reason to think he wouldn't have done exactly the same thing if that line had a chance to come up again.
Bush-league coaching.

At any rate; definitely pleased to see a win on the backs of a stud young player (Hoglander) and a great performance from our young starting goaltender. Also nice to see Rathbone see a high in ice time, look good on the PP, and get his first assist. We’ve got some really promising pieces in place if we can manage to fix some of the lingering negative value players and cap hits we have.

For sure, I agree with you.
For me this is all the more reason Benning needs to be replaced by a good GM whi can complete the roster around the good young players, not saddle the roster with over paid bottom sixers and cripple the cap for years.
How can you pay 6 million for a guy who plays in 7 games with zero impact among the many examples? And he is back next year. Also we would have even more good young players like Senators, Rangers, Kings if you don't trade draft picks for the afore mentioned players

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Rathbone out of the lineup for Juolevi after tonight.
But with the playoffs officially done it would be nice to give edler 2 or 3 games off.
