first time on the second wave ; it's his first game in the NHL. O the second wave, he will play against the second PK wave of the other team and it's okay. Norlinder has played on bigger ice all his career , so let him adapt his gameWhen you’re already acknowledging that you don’t think he can handle PP1 duties..you’re already putting pressure on him.
How about empowering the player by showing him you believe in him?
Reinforcing that you’re putting him in positions that he was brought over for?
Like I don’t get this line of thinking…you wrote that “we all know Norlinder can do a lot on the PP”…
SO PLAY HIM ON THE POWER PLAY!
As long as the young guys play well and we are competitive Ill take it! Let the losses roll as long as we get that.Its gonna be what its gonna be.
Lets hope for the best outcome for the teams LONG TERM future....
The guy that should be out is Petry. He is totally lost and possibly injured since the beginning of the season, waiting for Edmundson to come back.
