It is clear that Dominique Ducharme does not trust Alexandre Romanov and Matthias Norländer

I understand that the Montreal Canadiens are not in the rebuilding phase and they are trying to win every game in hopes of making the playoffs. However, there are always limits to the bench cut.

In the overtime period of last night’s game, Dominique Ducharme used only the following three defenders: Ben Shearoot, Brett Colack and Chris Weidmann.

David Savard, Alexander Romanov and Matthias Norlander defended off the bench for four minutes and 48 seconds into the fourth inning. The Fitness Trainer He clearly does not trust his young defenders.

Since he was left on the podium, Romanov has been doing very well. He participates in all kinds of sauces (or almost) and is one of the best defenders on the team. Why don’t you make him play in the crucial moments of the match then? I can understand the fact that Ducharme didn’t use Norlander in overtime; The young defender does not have a season of experience on the Pittman Tour. corn publish Romanov is a big “no” in my eyes, especially because he represents the future of the club on the blue line.

Despite having no time to play in overtime, Romanov was the team’s third most used defender (24:24). Only Ben Chiarot (29:26) and David Savard (25:32) have played more than the young left-winger among the defenders. Note that Ben Chiarot played more than half of overtime, he…

Brett Colak, who had a strong game, played 1:16 in overtime and Chris Weidman played exactly one minute.

Ducharme could take a few minutes off the three defenders to give Romanov, who didn’t play a bad game overall. He finished the 27th evening with a record 0.

The Canada coach has fought 56 ​​games to prove he is the right man for the job after this season. So far, he has not done himself any favors by leaving Romanov on overtime.
