I listened to the Oilers' post game driving home from the game on Sunday, and Rob Brown pointed out that there was nothing unusual about what happened with Lagesson (as a former player it happened to him many times).... This is standard procedure as the coach has better things to do at this point as he's preparing for the game.
So whatever Tippet's communication relationships with his players are, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual that happened on Sunday, despite what Walsh said in his tweet.
|
I heard the same discussion from Brown, nothing out of the ordinary transpired, Strudwick said the same thing.
I think Lagesson is just PO'd that the new call up Nemo got the start instead of him, and he's seeing his NHL career flash by in front of his eyes..
I actually think Lagesson plays a solid game, you don't notice him, which is a positive, because I notice 22 all the time, you can play Lagesson in the 3rd pair in the NHL and usually not get hurt, which as a 3rd pair is all you want. He's sound positionally, haven't seen him make a bad pinch, breaks up the cycle, covers his man.. decent 3rd pair, another disciple from the Dave Manson school of D.
|
I think the issue for Lagesson is what does he do? You listed off a bunch of things that he does that won't kill you which I completely agree with but nothing about his game stands out or makes an impact. He's just a guy who if needed, he can play a few games for you and you probably survive.
Where as a guy like Niemelainen. He brings you more size and his physical play can make and impact. The opposition has to keep him in mind otherwise they might get blown up with a big hit. He brings a dimension that most of the other Oilers dmen don't. So I think the coaches want to see him play more to see if he can continue to do it. So Lagesson sees his opportunity being taken so he gets upset.
