I guess we have to disagree. The two guys being injured is the reason that it is "so high." Without injuries he is basically not playing on the PP at all.

Who do you think he's been playing with since his icetime got elevated?
|
Guys like Galiardi, Glencross, Jones. Seems like Monahan has rotated with Hudler, Baertschi, Jackman and now Reinhart. McGrattan and Jackman have been on the 4th.

Wait... so you think the default should be him playing ahead of other? Seems strange
|
I think he deserves a 4 game shot to see what he can do since there isn't a better option yes. Not sure what is strange about that. It isn't by default he was playing well.

He played ok and got minutes. I didn't see anything from him that in my mind forced the coach to elevate his minutes.
|
I would think injury to Stajan and him playing better than the other options lead to his increased minutes. But we obviously disagree on how he played.

I really don't know what this means.

It means that when Colborne played well his minutes increased to 18 mins, when he played poorly his minutes were reduced back to 8 mins.

Really really really disagree. IMO Backlund has been easily the superior player all season long.
|
Again an area we will have to disagree on as it doesn't look like much will change either guys opinion on this and likely the biggest issue in any disagreement we have is our opinions on how Colborne and Backlund have played.

It's not about just the last game. It's about the body of work as a whole and particularly the body of work since he got his ice-time initially elevated.
|
Well on a whole he has averaged about 7-10 minutes so hard to see what the issue you could have there and since he got the increased ice time he played okay then when he played poorly his ice time was brought back to 8 mins. The reason we are talking about the last game is because that is all we have to go on. If he jumps back up to 20 mins against SJ maybe you have an issue but it seems like you didn't like that he was getting big minutes and playing poorly and then was reduced in mins so you should be happy with that.
