Note to TIP: get another job if you think you are doing McD a favour by sitting him in the 3rd period of a game where he is on a roll. Look at the Gretzky era tapes for gawd's sake. 
|
I hear ya but nope, I didnt mind it, Flames might have quit sucking their thumbs and playing soft and rolled out the ape show. Why get a guy hurt from a cheap shot?
|
They cheapshotted two guys anyhow tonight, and they played hard to the final shift. The Oilers called the dogs off, but the Flames never did. If someone goes completely headhunting on the best player in the game they're going to get a major suspension, so it's not likely to happen. It was a hell of a lot more likely in the 80s when people just didn't get suspended for much, but the Oilers still would run up the score whenever they could.
Let the best players do special things. There are only so many nights in a career where you have a chance to really put up huge numbers so if you have 5 points halfway through the game, let them AT LEAST take a regular shift and get PP minutes.
Honestly, I think it's more disrespectful to a team to put 4th liners out on the PP than it is to run up the score. It says we don't even care if we score here.
|
You sit your starter when its 42-10 in the 3rd quarter for the same reason, you want him healthy to win the next one. I'd rather see good players have a better chance of being healthy and a playoff run than padded stats. This is petty criticism of Tippett in this situation if Connor plays 3 min and change of the 3rd period with 5 points already in a blowout. I really don't give a damn about disrespect to the Flames anyway, if 4th liners on the PP hurts their feelings, great.
|
Ya, I'm sure Tipp sees it as a win-win-win. He gets to rest his best players, he gets to avoid a team far behind just gooning it up and intentionally injuring stars, and he gets the team a lot of experience playing defensively.
I've noticed this team is getting better clogging up the neutral zone and keeping players outside, which limits scoring chances. Less of the odd-man rushes we saw in the first week or two. That probably just comes with repetition, which Tipp can get when up 6 in the 3rd.
It also just gives players on the lower lines more ice time. They deserve to get some live game shifts to show what they can do.
