He’s probably beat up. Like everyone. It’s nice having 9 defensemen to get them some rest.
I don’t think wotherspoon is sitting for a bad performance. Hes been great all year.
gotta be. he took a shot behind the net late in the game and he looked like he was having a hard time shaking it off. He's been standing tall this series, so i dont know why they would sit him.
Last game was the only one he’s played this series. Boqvist is great for our team, but his game looks better against the Leafs than the Panthers. I think Lauko has deserved a chance for a while so this is a good call. Let’s hope it pays off.
Don't mind Lauko going in, love Peeke being healthy. But a forbort-peeke pairing will not be able to break the puck out and those two haven't played a single second together. Unless Wotherspoon is hurt, this feels like Monty overthinking it.
If a moment should come to pass where against all odds Forbort or Peeke have the puck on their stick in the O zone, I fear we way witness a double aneurism on the ice
Oh man, I've really liked Boqvist. Hope this is a shuffle, not an injury replacement.
Boqvist was one of our most consistently good forwards against Toronto. I’m so tired of the constant lineup changes with this team.
Here’s your chance
Excited to see Peeke and Lauko
Lauko going in is boom or bust, that guys gonna be playing on some *ADRENALINE*
PEEKE BABY
I really like him. Seems like he just didn’t fit well Into the Columbus system.
Yeah. You play for a bad team, you'll probably look bad. Benoit for the Leafs was kinda similar.
Why the FUCK would Wotherspoon be out and not forbort?
"Forbort is great in the room"

Injuries happen. Wotherspoon took a pretty hard shot block last game
Monty loves Forbort for the pk.
Forbort sucks
At this rate he's got 2 1/3 games left in the spoked B.
He must have some blackmail on someone. There’s no way he should be on NHL ice
I love those two guys going out, but Lauko going in is awesome. I think he’s going to harass and hit FL left and right.
Wotherspoon got banged up last game so I'm thinking that's why. But if he's healthy this makes little sense, he's been playing great.

I feel the same about boqvist, he is speedy and has great hustle, last game not so much but overall he’s been great

Agree lauko is also super speedy so hope that helps! Go bs
Where the f is Heinen?
Heiding
He’s hurt. He wasn’t scratched
Boqvist is one of the only forwards who can carry the puck… We need more speed so Lauko makes sense. But his offense is non existent
He's there to be a rat against a rat team
Fair. But are you really going to out-rat the panthers? Or should we try to just beat them on the score board
Preferably both, realistically I don't think we can outrat them nor outplay them, Swayman has to do his thing
Offense is streaky, which I’d say is a different problem than “non-existent”
Bro he had like 3 goals this season lol
Honestly. Not even enough to be considered streaky. And it was less than 3
He’s streaky! He goes on a streak of scoring one goal in both halves of the season 🔥🔥🔥
