Casey is a fricken moron

At the same time, 66 minutes in two games is a big increase for JV given his past workload (he only had 66 minutes or more over two consecutive games twice last season, and one of those was in the playoffs and he got injured the next game). I'd rather not risk overworking him early in the season. That said, his minutes could have been better distributed last night... take him out a little earlier in the first and bring him back earlier in the 4th. Hopefully Poeltl's good fourth-quarter shift last night will help Casey have a little more confidence about giving the rookie a little more run in the second quarter.
