GDT: WDSF Game 4: Golden Knights @ Wild - 7:00 PM CT - NBC, TVAS, SN

They haven't been tried together in months. Fiala is playing much better than when they were last tried together.

How about Boldy?

You really think Boldy was Evason's decision? Come on now. Playing Fiala and Kaprizov together means Vegas only has to defend 1 line. Also, Evason has played them together multiple times this series coming out of PK's and in other situations.

Like I said, I'm not an Evason fan, but I don't see him being the cause of any of the major problems.

I’m beginning to think it’s not just a coincidence that goalies are lights out against us in the playoffs.

I wouldn't say he was lights out, he hardly needed to show up today actually.

His most memorable play was getting the goal overturned. After that, he just was... there.

 

[Spurgeon]

Boldy should start next game alongside one of Kap, Zucc, or Fiala. I can’t believe they went with Rau over him for this one.

Boldy - Sturm - Fiala
Zucc - Hartman - Kap
Foligno - Ek - Greenway
Parise - Bonino - Bjugstad/Rask

Tired of seeing Rask in an important position when he’s a completely useless player.

I wouldn't say he was lights out, he hardly needed to show up today actually.

His most memorable play was getting the goal overturned. After that, he just was... there.

That’s kind of what I was getting at. This team hasn’t been dangerous whatsoever offensively.

No, because the Ek line is the only line doing anything at all anyway.

Continuing to bang your head against the same wall over and over doesn't make sense.

We need to get a second line going to have any chance at all at this point.

If Evason isn't trusted by his GM to make a lineup decision, then again, need a coach who can be trusted.

If Billy is the one holding Boldy out, then I think we need both a new GM and coach.

Just doesn't make sense. If BG was responsible for it, then why did he even bother making him available for the postseason?

That's why I find it hard to believe that it was BG.

Why didn't Boldy, Duhaime, Dewar, Adisson play any games at the end of the regular season? Because, I know who would make those decisions

That's why I find it hard to believe that it was BG.

You really think that Guerin said " maybe we should give a guy like Boldy a look in these last handful of meaningless games?" and Evason told him to kick rocks?

It's one thing when they're not available to the coach by not being called up. It's completely different when they are up and available but the coach isn't putting them in.

see above.

Evason probably has never seen Matt Boldy play

You can bitch and moan all you want about what happened in the regular season but the least you could do is stay on topic. We're talking about the playoffs.

 

[TaLoN]

Yeah, but he has seen Rau play, and knows damn well as anyone, he's not going to be an answer.

Ok. So now the assumption is that Guerin didn't want to play Boldy in any of the meaningless games to end the regular season, but now he wants him to play in the playoffs, but Evason is saying no? Is that seriously the thought process on this?

The thought process is, Boldy is as available to put in the lineup as Rau is, yet Rau was put into the lineup.

If that's BG's decision, he should be fired, but I feel if that was his decision, he'd never had made him available to begin with, thus I believe right now, it's on Evason.
