Because there was speculation about line-up changes after last game and Parise's the most likely to draw in.
Based on the null-hypothesis that the guy with the big contract, 35 playoff goals and chip on his shoulder is most likely to draw in. I'm not advocating for it but I don't think I'm running against orthodoxy here.
Not sure what speculation you're talking about, but can't see why they would want to get smaller, weaker, slower, and less skilled?
Speculation on here, in the series thread, which alternates back and forth with the game-day threads that we're currently posting in, providing the context for the original post.
I'd be surprised if Parise was slotted into the lineup ahead of Boldy when one guy has met or exceeded expectations and the other has an entire season showcasing how undeserving he is of a spot on the roster.
If Evason was asking me to choose between the two for some inexplicable reason (head trauma?) I'd pick Boldy 10 times out of 10. I'd still be surprised if it played out that way, but maybe I don't give the coach enough credit.
If I recall they were allegedly held out the final 11 but reasonably sure that was due to a ton of penalty’s and they don’t kill penalty’s
