[Kurz] On dirait qu’Alex Bump, un scratch en bonne santé lors des deux derniers matchs, sera de retour dans l’alignement ce soir pour Denver Barkey. Dan Vladar dans le but, bien sûr. Saison probablement en jeu.

Don’t mind giving Barkey the night off, he seemed to be struggling a bit out there.
This is fair. Barkey has been a dog out there but I feel hes in need of a rest.
Makes sense to put another young winger out there with fresh legs for a do-or-die game
I like this change out
Bump-Cates-Michkov then?
bump for barkey is a good move
All for it. I’d have even been okay benching Michkov. He’s been invisible most of the season. Just slow as fuck and loses every battle.
I dont think swapping out the wing will change much. Cates and Michkov are just never on the same page. Cates is still a little stuck in his ways from last year. He developed under torts and the Brink-Cates-Foerster line was a master class in 3 guys who could grind it out along the boards to make plays. Michkov doesnt play that way at all and Barkey tries, but only succeeds half as often as Brink/Foerster. Cates needs to be willing to carry the puck in and make a play instead of dump and chase every time.
I do think Barks needs shifted, but I wouldn’t sit him. Sit Hath and put him on the 4th line; the kid’s honestly one of the few players that regularly have fire in themself on the ice.
Can’t get better if he’s not doing anything…
