The 2nd, and 3rd period was filled with 2 5-on-3 PP, and a 4 minute PP for Phoenix, plus a one goal game. That changed the game strategy for Hitch. Otherwise I think he gets a little more ice time.<br /><br />I do agree the PP may be a good place to get him some ice time. However, we don't see practice, and how he performs.Dutchman1350https://www.blogger.com/profile/16105668262728392156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-76348062304983332162009-10-13T12:37:23.312-04:002009-10-13T12:37:23.312-04:00I think one of the reasons Filatov's playing t...I think one of the reasons Filatov's playing time has been limited is that the CBJ have been taking a lot of (stupid) penalties and Hitch doesn't trust a "green" rookie on the PP unit, which is getting major minutes, especially in Phoenix. This has limited Niki's time. Also, the road-trip games have been pretty intense, being opening night, etc. It is important for this franchise to get off to a great start, which they have. I think when things settle down a bit, Hitch will find Niki the playing time he needs. But, maybe Calgary isn't the place to start, eh? (Wasn't that a great game last night with Chicago? Man, I thought the Flames were going to run away with this one. Huet really sucked at first. What was it, 5 goals on 9 shots?!! Geeeezzz.) Calgary will be tired but in a very ugly mood tonight IMO. It will be a "man's game" as RJ has stated. Niki isn't really a "man" yet. He has to earn Hitch's trust a bit more.<br /><br />GO JACKETS!!CBJ_Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881421442156792110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-51959792162727176982009-10-13T11:47:28.091-04:002009-10-13T11:47:28.091-04:00I agree with an earlier post: let the coaches coac...I agree with an earlier post: let the coaches coach. Call Hitch on his mistakes when he makes them. Right now, we have a winning record & a deep pool of talent, so there's no reason to push the kid too hard, too fast.

okay...speaking of the weather, i love it right now<br /><br />okay, I meant a slower team, not an easier one (though there are some easy ones). I think that Filatov keeps getting pulled because he is slowing down as he is not used to the speed. Play him a ton in slow games, and space him out in fast ones, and he will build upBargahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267934390167096150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-76023373635403979112009-10-13T09:53:08.785-04:002009-10-13T09:53:08.785-04:00Let the coaches coach, they have their reasons...

Sure they're physical, but Hitch can control the match-ups to a certain degree, but more importantly, the Flames defense and goaltending are not very good. They've allowed 23 goals already, which is one of the highest in the league (they have played 6 games though, which is 2 more than most teams at this point). This seems like a good opportunity for Filatov to add to our lacking offensive punch.jemhuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090760120812921549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-70832198819633351982009-10-13T08:42:40.818-04:002009-10-13T08:42:40.818-04:00it is because Filatov isnt fast enough yet.
