What wish are we getting?
I don't care one bit about who plays 4th line minutes, they never show up in the playoffs so I've given up on all of them.
Also I am very impressed with Trotz and the way he is letting Bowey stay in the lineup. Bowey, Djoos, any of the young D that come up, they have to play through their mistakes and know that those same mistakes won't get them scratched.
Well, to be fair, the only reason Bowey stays in the lineup is because Chorney is actually worse (scary thought). So far, he has shown absolutely nothing, at least Djoos has some offensive upside.
Well I see mistakes from Bowey but I am also beginning to see a spark as well.
What have you seen from him? He's not physical, he's not a good puck mover, doesn't score and is definitely not good defensively.
I'd rather see Stephenson in the lineup. Not sure who the guy to sit is. It looks like its going to be a revolving door. Not sure if that is a good thing or not. Its good that we have the extra guy to cover in case of an injury.Chiasson out. Stephenson in. All you see here is why is chiasson still in but others get scratched

I have no problem with Chiasson's game. Not the most skilled player but he doesn't hurt you. Has a decent hockey IQ. The 2 players that I think are the weakest upfront are Burakovsky and Connolly. Both are more known as offensive players and can be a liability in the defensive zone.I've been really happy with Chiasson. I'd be content for him to play every game on the 4th and PK.
He has done some good things this year. He isn't a big physical enforce but he can handle himself. He is more physical than Djoos. His puck movement has been disappointing because he was a good puck mover in the minors. He has to adjust to the speed of the NHL game. He doesn't get enough on his passes. Another thing hurting him is his defence partner. Orpik needs to give him better support. Too often Bowey has the puck in the corner getting pressured by the forecheck and Orpik is 60 feet away. He has to shorten that distance to 20 or 25 feet. As far as scoring goes that will come eventually. He does have a few assists. A couple of them were pretty nice plays. Give the guy a break. He is a rookie playing a position that takes time to learn.What have you seen from him? He's not physical, he's not a good puck mover, doesn't score and is definitely not good defensively.
Trotz doesn't make that decision, Reirden does when it comes to the d-men.I don't care one bit about who plays 4th line minutes, they never show up in the playoffs so I've given up on all of them.

That hat is awesome! But mostly for young women and kids though.
Are you saying that mr holtby can't pull that off?
