This was a Nucks must-win game. As every game against the Rags since ‘94 (or earlier) must be.
Perhaps Green knew the importance of this game. Sure, not as important as the most important game of the year, but Yankee Canuck might argue it was more important. If he ever felt like sprucing up the NM game thread cappuccino bar again.
Anyway, Green must have felt some need to make the most drastic roster change of the year.
He sat Loui.
No, really. Our highest paid player was a healthy scratch. And the Nucks looked like a better team for it up front.
