No slower then Lindblom. Don’t know what your point really is, though, since I said I’d move Lindblom to the 4th line & play him over Knight. But I also can see where maybe they’re trying to light a fire under Lindblom & maybe Knight will be hungry to try to keep a roster spot,so I’m sure not going to get bent out of shape about it. They aren’t going to miss Lindblom’s 2 points in 9 games.

Knight is absolutely slower than Lindblom. Knight doesn't make the necessary quick passes Lindblom made, for instance, to miss setting up TK on a break by a foot. That opportunity never even comes to pass with Knight.

It's just another example of bad roster management. We have enough to write a very long book at this point.

Make no mistake, Lindblom sitting is a riotable offense.

The kid is really what the ideal Hakstol player would be if that player also had talent and hockey IQ. But I guess he's too young and has too much upside so he has to sit for a bunch of washed-up has beens/never weres. #Haklogic

I met a 4th line plug from an antique Dakota land
Who said: “Two flip-flop wearing legs of stone
Stand in the beet field . . . Near them, on the grass,
Half sunk, a snotty visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its General Manager well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that benched rookies, and played heavy vets instead:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Hakmandias, coach of coaches:
Look on my above averageness, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, expressionless and bare-footed
The lone and level fields stretch far away.”

-- Fred Shero, paraphrased
