Do you lose momentum when you rest players?

Question, If, and that is a big if, but if we beat NY Sunday.

I have heard several say we can then rest our starters against N.O. and then have a bye in 1st week of playoffs. So if you do rest the starters do they lose a sh1tload of momentum since they would be on a roll? I mean would Smitty, Pep, Jake and company come back rusty as hell if they were off that long?

At the same time, I know you hate to lose one to a senseless injury in a meaningless game too.

So where do you draw the line?

This is a messageboard? I was beginning to think it was a bandwagoner help board?

No apparently you think is the a$$hole-fan-holier-than-thou-board. :puke:

Why do some insist on commenting that others' posts are not justified? He did preface it with "a big if" and has a legit question about resting players. If you can't contribute to the discussion then stay out of it.

IMO it is a bad thing to rest players and has been proven many times in recent years. While the threat of injury is significant, it is important to keep players in the winning mindset and in game shape. I agree with the others that said to play them but not for the whole game...especially if we get out to a nice lead.

Someone has to be the a-hole that keeps Panthers fans from looking past the biggest regular season game in Panthers history.

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
