Good for Hicketts. Take your time Abby.

 

[Mister Ed]

Who is injured on D that they need to bring up Hicketts? More of a precaution?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Who is injured on D that they need to bring up Hicketts? More of a precaution?

I think Blashill probably just missed him.

 

[Christien]

Hicketts is in tonight

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Hicketts sucks. Kaski not an option?

 

[Konnan511]

If Hicketts was just press-box fodder, I'd be more OK with this, but Seider has far and away been our best D-Man down on the farm.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Of Course Cholo sits... Blash hates him lol

 

[GreatGordie9]

Cholowski's play is no worse than someone like Green and Daley. Nice to see Little Joe come up though. I used to see Joe play in Victoria BC with the Royals. Hicketts has had a great start with Grand Rapids.

 

[raymond23]

Here we go again with Cholo. Dude was just starting to pick up his game too. Vets getting a big pass. Just trade the kid please

 

[ThankGord]

If anyone should be benched its Bowey. He's making all kinds of errors on the PK.

 

[Konnan511]

Cholo (6th in team scoring), Hronek (4th), and DDK(7th) have been the only decent to good D-Men so far. Cholo has ONE less point than Green, Bowey, Nemeth, Daley, Biega combined.

Blash is Trash (first time I've ever said that)

 

[Hen Kolland]

Joe Hicketts is about to show us how bad he can really be. I’m excited.

 

[cjm502]

I really dont think Cholo has been particularly bad

 

[NotLeddy]

Cholowski has had his three strongest games of the season against Vancouver, Buffalo and St. Louis, 3 of the last 4 games. What the hell is this "not happy with his play" garbage? Bowey and Daley have both been a lot worse. This makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

Yeah really confused why Cholowski would sit.

 

[GreatGordie9]

Hey Blashill do you hear footsteps yet? Let the kid play. Bench Bowey, Daley. Green hasn't actually lit it up either.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Cholowski was probably benched cause he leads all defenseman in negative (+/-) with -7, while averaging 4-5 less minutes per game than Green and Hronek.

Shout out to AA and his -12.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Cholo has ended up with a lot of minus, but I really doesn't feel like he's been that bad.

Oh well let Blashill have his fun. I don't mind Hicketts getting a shot.

 

[GreatGordie9]

Maybe we should bench Blashill and have Blysma coach tonight.

 

[MBH]

Cholo looks B to B+ in the Ozone.
He looks D to F in the Dzone.

It's like two different guys.
In the Ozone, he's patient, mobile, poised and makes good decisions.
In the Dzone, he's scattered, often stationary and erratic, and makes bad decisions.
I honestly thought he shouldn't have started the season in Detroit. He has a lot of work to do yet on his defensive game.

Send him to GR to spend the year with Seider.

 

[Henkka]

It's good for Cholowski to sit and think some games. One way to learn.

Just completing the Yzerplan. Funny how Blashill gets a blaim when he is developing people.

 

[NickH8]

If it's a one game thing where he just sits to view a game from the press box for a different perspective (I have my doubts on the affect that has) then okay. If Cholowski gets sent down again, then I'm upset. I understand he's been bad in the dzone but at this point he's got to work on that in the NHL. He's also better than more than half our defense in the ozone. You know who's play they shouldn't be happy with? Hirose. But nobody wants to get on his case because he passed the puck to a hot AA 6 times last year.

 

[lilidk]

Wonder if trade coming?

 

[Henkka]

Wonder if trade coming?

Yeah, Perlini for Regula.
