I expect we’ll see Z scratched next game. Just because the last time we saw him fall asleep which led directly to a goal, was the first game in Sweden and a scratch followed that time. I think the argument could be made that Z could’ve done more on both goals, and Bednar definitely called out his mistake on the Wild’s PP goal. I think it should also be noted that Barberio got robbed on a beautiful shot in this game. I mean if you’re honest, I see no way how Bednar puts in a guy like Bigras over Barbs right now, with how indecisive Bigras has been and frankly, how much of a passenger he’s been for awhile now, like since the Vegas game at least. It’s also making guys like Bigras look bad with how fearless Girard has been and then you see an older guy like Bigras who’s poise with the puck hasn’t been in the same league since the first few weeks of the season. I don’t have a problem with the D rotation, I think Bednar is just doing right by the team as a whole, playing the best players he has available. The rest is on the FO, no?

Out with Barberio, in with the young guys. Z needs to play every game #4 D or the coaching staff has lost it’s mind.
