Looks like he's been pretty solid so far which is awesome for him. I honestly had written him off.

I didn't even realize Campbell was out of the player's assistance program!

I would imagine the argument is that it is more beneficial for him to get experience being THE guy against pro players every game, including carrying that into the playoffs. Having him sitting for ~9 games a month probably isn't super ideal. Also, they may feel that he still has things to work on in his game. If you're trying to get him to focus on something specifically it probably is better in the AHL where the focus is more on developing rather than the NHL where the games "count". I'm not sure where I land on the debate, it could be beneficial for him to get NHL experience but I also don't watch a ton of Grand Rapids so I couldn't say if he's truly ready. I'm fine with them not rushing him in the end I think. I think next season will be when he makes more NHL starts with Husso and Lyon hitting free agency. Cossa also missed some games down in Grand Rapids recently so he may be getting over an injury. Lyon is also joining the team again, so this Husso start is hopefully just a blip because of the injury. Better to yoyo Husso than Cossa.

Definitely felt like a jinx when I checked the score, I didn't have a chance to catch any of the game and it looks like it was for the best!

Honestly was my first thought too lol

I guarantee if they tried to send Johansson down he'd get claimed on waivers, I think he's shown enough the last few games that a few teams would take a chance. So hopefully it is Petry in the press box and not him.

This feels like a huge insult to Brad Stuart 😂

Might as well just bury him in the press box, he isn't making much money after the double retention and it is the last year of his deal thankfully

I hope the Toddfather keeps playing Johansson even when Petry is healthy.

I have to admit I really underestimated what a coaching change would do for the team.

Bad second period for the Wings, down 1-2 now

And now Edvinsson is hurt

Crap Alex Lyon got hurt in the first, a Senator landed on him, Talbot in

Oh duh it is Bob Kaser the Griffins PBP guy, Ken is sick apparently. He sounded familiar-ish but I haven't watched the Griffs in a while.

I haven't been able to figure it out, but it is really throwing me off!

Larkin scores on the ensuing PP! Fantastic passing and a well designed play to get him the easy goal.

LOL Tkachuk got a penalty for removing Edvinsson's helmet in a scrum......I can't remember the last time I saw that called. Mickey wasn't impressed of course 😂

Going to be a chippy game tonight, already plenty of scrums 6 minutes in

It is pretty funny that almost all the playoff teams have a positive goal differential....then there's the Bruins hanging out with a worse differential than a lot of the teams in the wild card hunt!

I don't think the NHL knows either

Very nice win in Columbus. I'm intrigued by the new Joe Veleno usage. I wonder if Todd sees something in him or if Yzerman told him to give it a try. Joe has actually made some nice plays that have surprised me, he also still does some stupid stuff. But maybe they can drag a hockey player out of him after all?

Looks like Petry might have broke his wrist or something?

Thank god for their power play

Awful backcheck by Veleno on that tying goal, blah

As an ex goalie I would have been very annoyed at Seider and Chiarot on that BJs goal, it is like they were trying to screen Talbot
