Whaddagoal
Timos back! Let's go!
Bratt seems to have hit a wall big time. He just looks tired. The brain is there, but the hands and feet are lagging a bit.
I honestly feel they should just give Bratt a game off (soon) when the schedule is beneficial both for rest and for the games. Maybe that's not the right way of looking at it, but you definitely don't want him to fatigue out by seasons end, or get injury from overextended season grind. He's practically a kid still anyway.
Just tell him he's scratched not for bad play but for recovery. The line will survive for a game. You can even put in Mueller at 7 dman to spread out the minutes tomorrow... of course doesn't help with Forward minutes, but i'm sure Hayes and Stafford can eat up some more minutes since they're already taking few.
