Saying he mixed up all his pairs to accommodate one player and that was a mistake. The very next game he went back to Gardiner with Carrick as they have been steady all season and put Zaitsev with Marincin and they have been solid.
He then finished by saying, coaches need to stick with what works.. or something along those lines.
Later in the show, says Flames fans may wanna tune out here as they traded Baertschi and Granlund for cents on the dollar and heres Baertschi with 2 goals and Granlund with game winner and have been 2 of the biggest reasons why the nucks are in a playoff spot.

Thus why Brad Treliving might be sitting here without a contract extension. He's done some good things, but he's also given up a lot of good players for nothing to show for. Giving up Baertschi, Granlund, Byron and etc for players who aren't helping out the big club right now does not help out Brad's case. Those 3 players right now are big impacts for their respective teams and the fact that we lack depth on the wings right now looks like poor asset managment and poor scouting.
