I do care but, again, only because I'm interested in the Leafs tying the game.

Nik the Trik said:mr grieves said:You could make this more concrete by asking whether Hyman, Brown, Komarov, Martin, and Soshnikov/Leivo offer all that much more during regulation than Vrbata, PAP, and Vanek. I don't know that they do. And if it's only a marginal upgrade during the first 65 min, and the latter bunch have are much more likely to help you out with the extra point, seems like a "shootout specialist" -- guy who's okay in regulation, better than most in the shootout -- is worth having.
That seems less like a case for shootout specialists and more a case for the Leafs needing to upgrade on the wing. Vanek being more useful than Martin seems true if the team has 82 or 0 shootouts.

He is now, which means he missed one shift which seems like a pretty fair reaction from Babcock.

Why wasn't he benched for the rest of the game? :

Good question. I can't find anything anywhere

Logan Shaw of the Ducks, I think

That pass was served up pretty nice for someone like Gardiner to skate into and recycle the attack.
mr grieves said:Well, drop Vanek and Martin to keep it from getting silly (tho Vanek on a 4th line to play PP minutes and shootouts sounds good to me!). I still think tolerating PAP's and Vrbata's weaknesses relative to Hyman and Brown would probably be worth it, if they flipped a few of those SOLs to Ws. 3-4 more points would be a help right now. And, as you've noted, those who we'd call "shootout specialists" are serviceable hockey players, so those weaknesses probably don't amount to much anyhow.
azzurri63 said:Good at least he made him think about it. Careless play that there is no need for. I would have let him stew about it a bit more. Hopefully he redeems himself. They all make mistakes don't get me wrong but some are inexcusable and unnecessary as that was.It turned the game around. Playing a good road game and up 2-1 now we find ourselves down going into the third.

The Ducks resigned him.
