When did Ben Street become a NHL player?
And on the PP and in the top 9.
Street is getting the same ice time as Monahan and Baertschi.
Hartley is basically riding his top 6 veteran forwards Hudler, Stempniak, Glencross, Backlund, Jones and Galliardi all have 18 minutes plus.
Then Baertschi , Monahan and Street are getting 12 minutes. Colborne, Bouma and McGratton are getting very limited time .... even for a 4th line.
may as well move Monahan back to juniors if they are not going to stress him at this level. It as though Hartley figures that Baertschi and Monahan are not handling the ice time he is giving them.
Last year he went with Begin as his pet... This year, so far, it is Street.
Hartley is coaching like this is the playoffs. Maybe he has been told that he has 10 or 20 games and better be over 500.
