Well that’s unexpected after all the 11-7 talk.
But I like it.
I love Maatta; but in this case the wings are probably going to have to outscore the Devils to win. And Maatta doesn’t really help with that.
Disappointed. I know they wouldn’t scratch Holl or Chiarot, but imo Maataa better than them both.
Did we call someone up? I thought we only had 11 forwards right now
Edit: nvm I miscounted earlier lol
A little disappointing to see a guy we extended just a few months ago for $3MM scratched, but Määttä is the path of least resistance since he’s a left shot and the team LOVES Chiarot. Gotta think Olli won’t be scratched every game and that they’ll rotate though.
Yzerman sang Maatta’s praises in the off-season. How can you NOT have him in the starting lineup? Slap in the face.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Yzerman fan and a believer in the Yzerplan, but I don’t get the logjam own goal.
He may be sick or slight injury. Trust my brothers and sisters.
Cmon guys it’s one game, it doesn’t even Määttä
