How so? If you actually listened to him he  said they would have to play greening and Condra at some point soon. Lazar is a rookie.

Who else are you going to take out, Greening and Condra need to play.

I wouldn't take out Lazar, I'd take out Hoffman if need be, but Lazar we want to get a good look at and assess.  He's played well, he's earned a few more looks, and again, we need to look at him.

Greening and Condra don't need to play.  I hate that, who cares if they play or not.  You've been beaten for a spot, now practice hard and when there's an injury, we'll put you in.

Cmon now, you know how it works. Do you really believe Chris Neil would be playing 82 games if he was a 1st year Sen?

In the grand scheme of things, I doubt it matters much, but if I were coaching, I'd take out Hoffman and put in Greening.  Then after that, I'd take sub out Greening and take a look at Condra.  I like Lazar a lot and feel like he adds a nice energy to the '4th line'.

Sounds like we have #TheGreeningAndCowenAndCondraSituation being looked at right now...

Interesting mix up but yeah, this is the Panthers.

Craig Anderson will be the goalie. Wiercioch is going to go in for Cowen. Hoffman and Lazar will come out and we'll put Colin Greening and Erik Condra in. For the most part it's to get them into the third game of the year. We felt that before we went home we needed to get everyone into games.

I don't think any lineup decisions are easy but for them, and Curtis in particular, it's an opportunity for him to take a breath and relax a little bit. He has gone through a lot through summer and the training camp. It's an opportunity to get himself relaxed a little bit. Hoffman, it's just a matter of getting Greening and Condra into games. The same with Jared, to make our evaluations, Chris Phillips and Mark Borowiecki have been a touch better and to get Patrick in on the left side someone had to come out.

It's not just because of his play that we take him out of the lineup, it has more to do with getting Patrick into the lineup and using the depth of our team. Jared has made his share of mistakes on the ice but then a lot of other guys have too. When we evaluated to put someone in on the left side, Phillips and Borowiecki have been a touch better.

When he's physical and he finds the first pass and makes it, much like all of them."

The sub for Cowen is an obvious one. Both goalies had good games so its not surprising to see anderson go in could have went either way. Got the get condra and greening in and in early. they cant be completely game shape with out actually playing games. Lazar is a rookie and he has been playing well but do they really want to put him in in every game of the first nine. florida has not been too good why not sit lazar and see how he fairs against a stronger team and stronger competition

Nope but they do get a shot too.  You are right that it's too early for Anderson not to get game 3 but a shaky start with a loss for Anderson and it's game on I believe.
