Charlie Farrell said...

why no stepan? i feel like he is still on a tryout and would like to see what he could do without gaborik and frolov. and if nothing else, it gives him more experience and exposure

There are alot of games left, obviously Torts wants to get a feel for which players are worth keeping for the bottom half of the roster.

Charlie - Good question. Maybe its a sign that the coaching staff feels he's already earned a spot on the team and they want to take a longer look at White and Kennedy. Maybe...

These are preseason games and the coaches need to evaluate all the players under game conditions. They aren't all that concerned about the outcome or trying to put together a lineup to score. They need to figure out who to keep and who to cut.

Sorry for the double post. It said the 1st one didn't go through.

Anybody else notice how much Chico Resh and Joe Micheletti are fighting (mostly about Avery and Boogard)? They are making Doc Emrick uncomfortable... I guess it is preseason for the announcers too.

AnnoyingJoe said...

Evan, Yes! Joe M. was owning.

stepan sat last night because they are splitting team up with 2 games in less than 24 hrs
