Because he really hasn't been very good this season at all. I'm a Stars fan, but he's cost us a lot of soft goals and does so regularly. All anyone ever knows him for is "60+ saves against Calgary", which, of course is an insane number, but he isn't consistent enough to be considered elite yet. He has moments, but you need more than moments to win a Cup.

Need Hakanpaa back soon or they’ll need to trust him with some more shifts to take load off our top guys, he did play a lot better tonight so maybe he is making a case for it.

This is a series nils can play in. He had a primary assist in 5 minutes of ice time lol Deboer needs to stop being stubborn.

[@mitsanut5869]

I agree. Not a fan of either team but loving both team's game skills set. This has been the coaching attitude for ages to overplay some players and sit others, and it backfires more often than not. Hockey is so demanding of one's body that I don't care on what level you are, you will get gassed if you're being overplayed while players who could help get cold while warming the bench. Coaches simply don't understand there are physical limits in hockey and if you're being used too much, you will have to start conserving your energy and you won't be able to go full blast all the time. That's why there are usually four O and three D lines. The sport started with only one line playing, then it went to two, then three and now four. There's a good reason for it. My take on it is that if you are good enough to get hired as a member of an NHL team, you're good enough to play. It's up to the Coach's skillset to employ you in such way so you have an effect on the game and not be second class citizen out there. There are so many things wrong with playing the team unevenly, the list of positives is very short, the list of negatives is very long. Yet they (the Coaches) still do it on all levels. I was one of very few Coaches who defied this habit and I played all my players as long as they gave their all on the ice, regardless of mistakes. It played huge dividends in team's play and cohesiveness, eventually. The team quality trajectory always went almost straight up, and I was able to repeat this with any team I ever got to work with.
