GDT:REVENGE! Canada VS Switzerland 5:30PM MST; CTV, FAN960

The guys that should have gotten more ice time in the 3rd were the guys who sat on the bench. It's a rough emotional game with checks being thrown everywhere and Babcock glues Iginla, Morrow, and Richards on the bench. What a total and complete idiot!

[Phaneuf3]

First shooter: Brodeur. At this point, why the f*&^ not?!

[Pastiche]

Getzlaf and Staal have really sucked this game.

except babcock isn't very logical. its not about who is scoring but who he likes.

[zamler]

Well the Canadian players look like they're having a great time, I guess that's important here.

[MRCboicgy]

I'm guessing Pronger, Boyle and Neids for the S/O...lol

[FanIn80]

The mouthpiece is now suggesting an Iggy injury.

[Pastiche]

Yeah, I'd much rather have Hitch behind the bench.

If they were concerned he wouldn't be on the bench.

And that still doesn't explain all the other stupid coaching decisions.

Most notably the benching of players based on one bad shift or one mistake.

Completely agree. Smashmouth tight game and those are your smashmouth players. Get them out there.

But nope we get to watch Joe Thornton float around.

[Infamous1]

Seabrook injured? Iginla could be injured. A lot of these benchings might not be Babcocks fault.

[IceMan]

Marty!!!

[Weiser Wonder]

I might have to cheer for the Fins, much like the WJHC team, this version of Team Canada is hard to cheer for.

[d_phaneuf]

Patrick Marleau and about 5 other guys can be cut after this game

Ignoring all the other baffling coaching decisions, I could understand concussion/injury concerns with Iggy if he wasn't still on the bench.

[direwolf]

So....Crosby, Heatley, and Marleau?

[VladtheImpaler]

Pierre just suggested Seabrook and Iginla are hurt.

If that's the case, I'd hope they'd bench him altogether...........not play him on a physical 4th line.

Or not using your hard nosed forwards who bring it like Morrow and Richards.
