Smith's been a surprise at forward, but if you're playing Howden, you'd figure Brickley, a career forward, over Smith, a converted one.
Smith is a part of the next few years, Brickley isn't. Same reason Chytil is playing over him.

What time did this game start? I thought it usually starts 10 minutes after 12:30 because it’s NBC, but I turn on the TV at 12:40, and 6 minutes have already gone by.

He's being made to do it at this point. That is a coaching direction.

Uhh there’s no way the coaches are telling him to just put pucks off the glass this is 2019 no one coaches their dmen to do that.

He didn't do this remotely the first half of the season, but his defensive play was getting worse and he was having a lot of trouble getting bottled up on the boards trying to skate it out

It's probably not "rip every puck off the glass" its more "if you dont see a completely clear outlet or are 100% on it, just play it 'safe'.

Lol they timed Backstrom vs Zibanejad on the last shift. Mika was out on the ice for 90 seconds.

I'm watching it on swedish TV.
