GB5 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Weber was a miss, Larsen is a miss.......if only this team had another smallish RHD with great offensive instincts who through experience could grow into his potential defensive shortcomings.

Hairy Kneel Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Weber Bart Vey Megna Larsen Notice how Minnesota has switched to bigger hitting players and how they control the tempo of the play. Our top players have enough finesse types --BOTH on D and our top 6. #freeTheBulldog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LE is not here to be taught how to play the game. He needs a coach who is a tactician. Look how well Babcock is doing with all his young players. The problem is the coach behind the bench cant create offense to compete at this level. Its not a slight at him its just the reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Larsen is not an NHL capable defenseman at all. Benning would be wise to demote his soft and useless ass to the AHL where he'll continue to plummet down the depth chart there. His play has demonstrated absolutely zero reason to keep him up with a team that's struggling. He is the weakest spot on the defense by a country mile. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why he is still being given games. Is Benning forcing Willie's hand and stating that Larsen needs to be given a long look, or is Willie so inept that he thinks that Larsen will eventually come around, you know....like the power play? The defense, going forward, will be a strength of this team, and for that reason alone, it is of the highest importance to remove Larsen from the lineup to allow any other player from Biega, to literally any defenseman on the Comets to take the spot.

Willie coached him when he was an AC in Dallas (in a year they missed the playoffs....) so maybe he thinks given time he'll shore up his crappy play. Biega might be banged up, and there's no love for trying out Pedan. If Wilbrod absolutely must have Larsen in for the PP, then why not also play Biega as a 7th D? Shorten up that super valuable Skille spot and at least at home he can get better defensive zone matchups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
