People definitely whine a lot (and whine about the whining), but put me down in favor of playing good players over bad players. This probably has more to do with the back to backs because Jesper clearly and obviously brings more than Hayden.Obviously people will always find something to whine about, but if the subject is ”4th line winger” I think we’ve come a long way and have a good team to watch.
I have no issues with Hayden playing game 1 against a strong team like the Jets. We have a back to back against a softer team in Buffalo and I fully expect Boqvist to come in for Hayden and Rooney to come in for Zacha after Pav only having 1 pre-season game.
Hall is coming back off an injury and Gusev has never played in the NHL before. There will be plenty of chances to get Boqvist time even if no injuries pop up.
interesting no Butcher
Idk why they would need to healthy scratch Zacha for Rooney. Rooney is the 14th forward -- so he should be there for injury replacement not to replace completely healthy guys. Zacha has had 1 preaseason game but he's been at the practices for a week and he's playing 4c so his minutes aren't even going to be that high -- I'm sure his conditioning will be fine.

<------ Way ahead of you.Just a heads up to everyone, I will be making "Zacha going to f***ing Brampton" jokes all year. That will never not be hilarious to me.
Not just Brampton. F***ing Brampton.
Or the 14th forward...We'll be arguing about 4th line forwards and 3rd pairing defensemen until the end of time.
