Fathead not giving him a sniff in the playoffs anyway so may as well see him go on a deep run with London

It will take injuries to the right guys for the right coaching decisions to be made. That’s the lesson. GM gave him bad players to play with. Takes me back to the As in baseball where the GM was trading players away to force the coaches hand. Need some of that from tre. Waive anyone shitty until Keefe plays our best lineup. But of course he won’t do that.

I mean, Cowan did make the team to start the year, after a fantastic camp. But then Keefe just ended up keeping in the press box for a week or two, refusing to give him even a single game as a reward for his camp until Treliving just sent him back to London.

So….yep.
 
I am prettt sure every year we were wishing we played the kids (now including our stud goalie for the marlies) - so we know what we have in case we need for the playoffs. Guys like tverberg, topi, hildeby all had chances with injuries to come up and get some time. Instead we used the scrubs in defense and jones.
 
Ya I mean 908 sv % in the all doesn’t scream “stud”. And tverberg had a nice heater and is having an impressive season but he’s not a guy who you’re givin* a shot to. Agreed that niemela deserved a look, though, given the injuries they’ve had on D and him having a right shot.
 
Eh, Hildeby was rocking a .920 at the time, and the guy we gave the starts to put up a .880 in the NHL last season and had a .870 in 5 AHL starts at the time of the call up. There was no reason to not give him a look given the goaltending circumstances we were in.
