We think larrson is out because of an injury from the pk hit? Makes sense buuuuuut how can the team keep rolling kovalchuk out there when he is clearly hurt?
That's what makes me believe Larsson is hurt. It's not like Harrold has really earned his spot and is playing great hockey. If that was the case then maybe it's understandable. But not playing the future star of the D, the guy that played well all year and was logging a ton of minutes for us, in our most critical games doesn't make sense, unless he is hurt.
It's for the best I think...makes everyone realize they have to step their game up and he gets time to heal. If we want to go far we need him at full health. Just stupid it took this long
Hope so..if we win tonight it will be a total team effort and possibly a win that could change a series. I think just having the threat or decoy of Kovy out there helps the team more then it hurts. Him being out just means one less threat for us. But if him being out tonight means he's more likely to be healthy by Game 3 Im for him sitting one out.
Yeah the series won't be won or lost tonight...but if he played and we lost and he has to sit for game 3 then that's bad. We should be ok just have to rely on Parise he wants a big payday then now is the chance
larsson is in for tonight
harrold might be moved to rw on 4th line with carter and gionta
sestito called up but most likely not playing due to harrold playing rw
larsson most likely to skate with volchenkov
lets hope we get a boost from larsson being in the line up
kovi sitting is a really good thing
i think the fans that have a grasp of what really goes on in hockey will be ok with kovi sitting
and the paperweight fans can whine about it all they want
wow preds to sit kostitsyn and radulov due to violation of team rules
I think Harrold is better suited to play up front. I'm hoping Larsson doesn't show signs of being rusty. The guy has been sitting for what 3 weeks now?
At the very least Larsson should be well rested. If he can come in and play well right off the bat, I expect him to log a lot of minutes and give guys like A-Train and Salvador a must needed break.
Good for Kovy. Kovy, for our team success and your individual success, rest up and recover. The team needs you and you need to be at 100% or close to it.
Larsson coming in, alright boy, time to step up and don't be afraid. I want you to be aggressive in the offense and smart on defense. Hopefully you learned something from watching(if you were watching).
