I would prefer to see Nygard out there - and not just because I picked Patrick Russell to score last/never. That said, it is always funny to see Russell get one game closer to passing JF Jacques marks for offensive ineptitude. Seriously what did Nygaard do to get the ire of our coach? Even when he’s not scoring his speed is noticeable like Haas. He had a great camp too.

The better question is what did Russell ever do to get the kind of love that Tippett has lavished on him over the last year and a half? The guy's been on the NHL roster for most of that time, and will have played in 47 games in that time after tonight. Considering how little he accomplishes when he's on the ice, and the fact he was -11 last year, I don't understand him keep getting at bats.

Okay, so the guy works really hard in practice, but this isn't Rudy. And in Rudy, the coach didn't put him in 50 times in games that really mattered...
