Benching Nylander when he's playing a strong game with 5+ minutes left in the third period is laughable.

You're protecting a lead. You put your best defensive players out. Brown is a better defensive player than Nylander. Ergo, Brown is out.

It's not laughable. It's pretty basic coaching, really.

We're pressing and dominating the period against a terrible Devil's team, you don't turtle by sending out offensive black holes like Connor Brown.

Im usually not one to ***** about this kind of stuff. But it's a problem if your coach doesn't trust your 6.9m dollar man in the final minutes of the game.

Babcock did this same thing last year, he doesn't trust him.


Do people really think $7m is some sort of superstar?.

Let’s just throw all our high salaries out in the last minute.
