I think people are so anxious to see youth injected that even when kids are getting their shots - people still want more.

I have no problem with how Hartley has managed the younger players so far. Yeah Brodie started as a healthy scratch - there were no pre-season games to show he was ready. His playing time has ramped up appropriately. And I think Backlund's performance shows he was being managed well.

I didn't watch last night's game so I won't comment on Horak.

I also think you have to remember that although you feel that missing the playoffs is a forgone conclusion - that's not what the organization thinks and that's not how the team is being managed.
