Again.

Quinn said Gauthier keeps not doing what is asked of him. Every coach will sit a player who keeps doing the same wrong thing over and over.

The problem lies with the player, not the coach, as is usually the case.

Didn’t know this was a fact.
Also would like him to be given a stretch of games without constant threat of being scratched but this is moot since season is pretty much over

You got that right. :laugh:

4 seasons in the AHL, 4 NHL seasons with the Ducks, but yeah the 20 games with the Rangers sabotaged him. :laugh:
They did.

You don't have to be good to be sabotaged.

If everyone else got hurt, AV would have suited up himself before he played Etem. That's sabotage.

We're at the point where we have to have no other options before Gauthier sees the ice. What does that have to do with how good he ends up being as a player?

I know it is popular to shit on Quinn and Kreider, but Kreider would not be missing a game this important absent serious injury. The “maintenance” quote from Quinn will rightfully draw questions but the club is likely just protecting Kreider from having to disclose the nature of his injury.

Hey Kravtsov, switch wings and then go earn 13ish minutes with Chytil and Kakko.

Etem, Nieves and now Gauthier, peoples irrational love for marginal players continues. Can't believe we waste so much time complaining about guys that don't move the needle in any aspect of hockey game. If Gauthier wants to be a regular nhl'er he needs to learn to play defense and to pk, if he was good at either one he'd have a spot.

Howden is the worst on the team at both of those!

How do we still not get that people just want our 12 best forwards in the lineup? Why is that a hot take?

Kreider took a practice off around the time he started to slide so its obviously been something nagging him for a while. I just don't know why you play him so much if he's hurting.

The worst on a top 5 pk doesnt mean hes bad, he's still a good pk guy. Gauthier isn't near as good as you feel he is, him, Howden, PDG are all on the same level. He isn't the next coming of Kreider.
