Win tonight I think they get in playoffs, loose and I doubt it
With the pressure of this playoff run I don't think they are loose. I doubt that will be a positive with respect to whether they win or lose this game though maybe the sense of urgency is what they need.
orlov now on the steady scratch list. interesting. hunter likes schultz now. Hamrlik is back in and now no ice for Orlov. this should create some interesting chatter

Maybe he is just resting him thinking we are going to sneak into the playoffs?
Experience in the playoffs is vital, you can make that same statement for games leading up to it. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone give my prior statement and his play of late.
Kid is gonna be a stud, I have no concerns about that .... I should hope this doesn't do much to his confidence but I think it's the right play to sit him .... for now.

The problem is that Hunter probably won't talk to the kid about it.

I think this all comes down to sides and styles.
Green, Carlson, Wideman, and Orlov are all puck movers who are better by a decent amount on the right.
Alzner, Hamrlik, and Schultz are all stay at homers who are better by a decent amount on the left.
For all 4 puck movers to get jerseys one pair has to be 2 puck movers and one of those guys has to play on the other side from his preference.
It is what it is and Orlov gets the short straw I guess based on his tough game against the 'Hawks.
Didn't I read somewhere that Bowman didn't talk to his players? Look at the results he got.
“He’s about what’s going on, what’s current, what’s better, what’s not, how to treat people right,” said Babcock, who had Hitchcock on his staff when Team Canada won gold at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. “Hitch is a guy who loves his players. … All the players that played for [Scotty Bowman] said he never talked to them, [but] he loved them. He talked to them lots when he was done coaching, I can tell you that. So sometimes when you’re pushing, their perception and reality sometimes is different.”
As per Brett Hull. But there were many accounts that support this. I posted an incident with Bowman and Dino Ciccarelli not too long ago.
Some coaches are "players coaches" and others use "tough love" while still others use the "silent treatment"
I get tough love v. being a player coach, and I get that personal style can vary hugely from coach to coach, but the silent treatment is dumb. I don't care who used it in the past.

I just hope JJ is at least talking to these guys.
Your certainly entitled to your opinion here but its not only Scotty Bowman that has experienced success with these methods. There are others who have.
There are also coaches who won by being very upfront with players too.
Just b/c you think its dumb does not mean its not effective.
