Fast's hurt, he got banged up in game 82 with Columbus after hitting the boards at high speed. It means Drury's in. Otherwise, the personnel is right, though if the practice lines from today are to be believed, the lines are very wrong

*KK would draw in not Drury, kk has been a scratch (yes I know you are going to say he got a goal and an assist against the bluejackets). Drury is the one filling the 2C spot based on the lines from practice not KK

swap injured Fast with Lemieux and for fk sake swap this bum KK with Drury

I mean technically, Staal would draw in since both KK and Drury played against Columbus

59-20-24
86-18-88
37-11-48
82 (until Fast is back) -92-23

Your defense is correct though

Drury should be in over KK especially when Fast gets back imo

Yes the guy that was resting during a throw away game would draw into the playoff lineup not the healthy scratch for games where we were fighting for the presidents trophy. KK is the 12th forward but when fast is back KK is the 13th. Do I fully agree with KK being 13th, no. But he is for this playoff run

KK shouldn't be. Rod's being an idiot, because Rod has to give odds to the opponents in some fashion. Drury or even Fast himself playing over KK isn't going to happen. If only because of Kotkaniemi's playoff history as quite a clutch performer

Well practice lines show that Drury is over KK. Also earlier in the season it was Drury over KK. Rod puts his trust in drury over KK. Rod has brought this team to the playoffs for 6 years in a row, he isnt the issue that you say he is, does he make questionable choices at times...yes, but he has shown the type of leader he is for the team and he is the coach that players would run though a brick wall for, that is what makes him a Jack Adams Winner

Six years of playoffs, surely he's won 3rd round games to show for it! He's a problem. The skill of this roster is making the playoffs with him or another coach, he isn't the reason for the success. All he does is make questionable decisions and hold the team back, He's a players coach, but how many players coaches win the cup? Cooper's system did a double and players hate it. Let me put this into perspective. Scotty Bowman, the best coach ever, was hated for 364 days of the year. On day 365, the players were picking up their rings. Players liking you doesn't mean you're good. That's something you need to understand.
