What in the fudgin heck is it with NHL coaches and their LOVE for AHL bums. Seriously Petan dressed for another AHL caliber guy chaser. He's that level of filler. Why would anyone think it's a good idea to throw him into a moment like that.
We are a team that's been climbing the standings since almost dead last in december, We control our own destiny with a win against lottery trash... And we put it all on the line with nic frickin petan. Think of the crazy amount of emotion around this team right now, The win streak with only a hand full of games left, one of the loudest rogers has been in quite some time... Into extra shooters... Season literally on the line after a 5 month dogfight to get to this point... And you see nic petan jump those boards. As another player... What a slap in the face. As nic petan... Man i feel for him.. He is what he is at this point, But to throw him in a moment like that.... Yikes for all parties.
Bruce, Idk man... I dont know... I'm just a fan but that seems like a horrible idea. Maybe try someone who has shown they can score in a high pressure moment? 70 some odd million dollars worth of players... And you choose a 700k journeyman..
Not to mention dries in OT...
Am i crazy to think this??!
