What a shocking turn of events.

Not a big deal. Cholo can sit every once in a while.

Not a big deal. Cholo can sit every once in a while.

Not super thrilled though that Blashill did this to him in his one "home" game of the year... That isn't really cool out of Blash at all in my opinion.

We can discuss the fact we are sunk in the standings and the kids should always play, I think the mental break might actually help Cholowski. Let him see the game, I do believe in that coach/organizational speak, I have sat with guys being scratched from AHL games and heard them discuss things they are learning and listening to how they process the game. Whatever the case may be sitting him when he likely thought he would have friends and family watching him stinks. It isn't a move I endorse, especially when you could rest Ericsson and have Cholowski sit in Edmonton and still work in Hronek for the next two.

I'm sure his friends and family would have loved to see him play. Is there a reason Kronwall needs to play every night?

Didn’t realize it was a game close to home. He does seem to have hit a wqll though and hasn’t been playing that good lately.

I'm not a coach, but if there's one game that would give Cholowski a boost, it would be this one. Sure, he probably needs to sit a few games eventually. Sitting him tomorrow has a stench about it, though.

 

[Ezekial]

I had forgotten about the home game aspect until TZE reminded us this morning, would've liked to have him in tomorrow, feel bad now.

 

[Martinez]

Most of us wanted pettersson, now we get to see him

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Blashill can only develop one prospect at a time, evidently.

 

[theYman]

Ras is back from injury but they won't rush him in to the lineup.

 

[TheMule93]

Larkin has a good match up with Horvat tonight

I get it and even agree with everything you’re saying but he is probably the most deserving after last game.

Who is in net tonight?

Yeah, not a fan of the move, either. Cholo has been flagging a bit for awhile, wouldn't have been hard to scratch for any of his recent games...yet he picks this one.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I'm sure his friends and family would have loved to see him play. Is there a reason Kronwall needs to play every night?

Agreed.

It wouldn't hurt to sit him a game, but why pour extra salt in the wound by making it the one that his friends and family would otherwise be coming to.

(this is all assuming Cholowski actually does sit for the game)

They will have years worth of chances to see him play. He’s been horrendous defensively and needs to sit. It’s not personal.

So....sit him after this game?

 

[Shaman464]

Nope, show him that bad play had consequences. He wants to have his family to see him play, he needs to play well.

Kidnapped by the Red Wings.

 

[Shaman464]

Kidnapped by the Red Wings.

Nope, he just hasn’t earned the right to not give a shit when playing. He’s been one of the worst defenders as of late, and he reaps the reward for that.

 

[TCNorthstars]

Kidnapped by the Red Wings.

He can quit hockey any time he wants to.

 

[Yooper906]

Nice win for Chicago. Here’s hoping for another 6-4 loss with our young prospects scoring

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I think Larkin is hurt on that slash. Good to see him back out there.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Why would Cholo be a healthy scratch in BC??? Can someone explain this to me??

 

[NervousPerson]

They sat Chilowski in his hometown? Cold. Why doesn't Kronwall sit once in a while?
