"Cabbage Patch Coach" philosophy on PK's
Permalink Closed



And-o to “Cabbage Patch Coach”


 


What on Earth was CJ thinking by icing Kovalev on the PK with the likes of Begin, Bulis, Bonk and Pleks sitting on the bench!


 


This, in my mind, represents one of few times where I think a guy could question whether CJ is ready for the NHL or not!!!


 


Honestly, even Kovalev must have been surprised by that decision…and that sure as heck wasn’t Doug Jarvis’ talking!!!

Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe the aformentioned players are just plain tired from killing off penalty after penalty? In the "New NHL" coaches are forced to use guys in positions and situations that they would normally not. CJ had a pretty good rash of penalties to kill off last night. Begin is hurting. Sundstrom is out. Options are getting limited out there.


Now, for those of you who will say "well then why are guys like Kovalev not tired from being on the PP so much?". Watch the players on a Power Play, then watch the players on a Penalty Kill. You tell ME who is working harder? It is no contest. The Penalty Kill guys like Begin get worn out from all of the chasing and skating. Power play is much more stationary.


I saw Alfredson killing penalties for Ottawa last night? Does that Make Bryan Murray incompetant to coach at the NHL level?

If they are tired of doing their job then dont let the door hit them in the ass on the way out

He reminds me more of Bill Dauterive from King Of The Hill.
