No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

Literally the worst way to handle this all. Bring hildeby up and sit him, bring samsonov back without playing a single minute of hockey.

Why is this shit so hard for hockey people?

100%. The absolute worst of both worlds.

They bring up their stud young goalie on a heater, have him cool off sitting on the bench for a couple of weeks. And along the way make it crystal clear they don’t trust him to play a single second of NHL hockey, even against one of the worst NHL teams that’s been iced in the last 20-30 years.

For all the talk of potentially ruining his confidence by playing him, what about the flipside of that? I can’t imagine this whole exercise has been a confidence-builder.

And I absolutely cannot wrap my head around the logic behind not giving Samsonov a single start or practice in the AHL before calling him back up. Like…is it that Samsonov has “respected veteran” status with him and they didn’t want him to suffer the indignity of playing AHL minutes?
