12/2 Practice Lines – Paul Cotter coming out and Juho Lammikko taking his spot. Cholowski is serving as a placeholder for Luke Hughes who is not on the ice today.

….is this some accountability or are is Cotter hurt?
Illness for Cotter? Or has he really fallen that far?
Cotter only had 6:54 ice time last game. (Noesen 6:49, Glendening 9:26 for context). So hard to say if it’s injury based or performance based.
Post says 12/2. I’m guessing it’s for 1/2 ?
I’m loving Brendan Dillon and Colton White. My favorite D recently. They’re playing tough.
It’s about time Cotter is terrible and has been this whole season
I don’t like Hughes playing the wing for Hischier. I get he can’t take faceoffs with his hand injury. But he’s so much better at playing center than wing. He works better with someone like Mercer who can take faceoffs and then switch with Jack so Jack can play center as the game is ongoing
Praise Jesus Palat not in the top six and not on Hughes’ wing.
Time to get Glendening off the penalty kill so they can remove him from the lineup. It’s more valuable to have Cotter for overtime and the shootout than to have a player who is basically a blank hogging up a roster spot.
I like Paul a lot. He’s been trash for a month and logged an official cardio game against the Blue Jackets. If this is a healthy scratch then I’ll understand. He responded well to that last season when it happened.
But there could be a tactical reason for this as well. If this is an attempt to get another center in the lineup while Jack can’t take draws and help that depth down the middle while also phasing out Glendenning I wouldn’t be mad at that either.
Ok ok pray for no shootout and we’ll be fine 😅
My guess is Palat’s gonna be next. It’s taken quite a bit to have the luxury to scratch a guy with all the injuries. Maybe messages will get sent now
Intrigued by that second line, still bummed about Glendening
Wow, we are scratching Cotter for Juho “deer in headlights” Lammikko, thanks for the depth Fitz
Good Cotter needs a wake up call.guys been floating way too much out there. Whole 4th line really is pathetic right now. I don’t expect much from them but if you can’t even get the puck in deep and lay some hits on a forecheck then wtf are you even doing being dressed.
I like Cotter most of the time, but there are moments where he needs a fire lit under his ass. Sometimes he just kind of “lingers” for a bit too long, whether it’s with the puck or pursuing an opponent. I think he has another level of effort that we need to see with some consistency.
Cool. Now do Hamilton, Glendening, and Noes.
Swap Jack and Meier. Would love to get McLaughlin in some games for Glendening.
Cotter needs ice time,he’s getting 6 minutes a night with rotating scrubs next to him.That makes it hard for anyone to produce
This team needs another C bad man. We cannot keep plugging Mercer in at 2C, and Glendenning sucks.
Cotter has had a tough season outside of one hot streak. his 5v5 play has been bad so many plays die on his stick. this is a contract year so hopefully he can lock it in and show some consistency otherwise hes probably not getting signed here again
I like Cotter, but I’m ok with this. He’s been doing a lot of nothing lately. Not even being physical and you have Nico and Glass dropping gloves and fighting. I’m thinking he’s one of the “show some balls” guys Keefe was talking about. Last season they healthy scratched him and he came out with a vengeance next game so we’ll see if that happens again.
