Re: Seguin...8min?:
He's a rookie. He had a ton of unforced turnovers. It was a 1-0 game, so you can't accept that in the 3rd period. It was also an extremely physical game, and he isn't big enough yet... the coaching staff probably also wanted to protect him for what happened to Krejci.

They benched him in the third because Krejci got hurt in OT?

He had a rough game and made more than a couple of mistakes. From what I've seen of him, I doubt he was sitting on the bench worrying about making more -- he was learning some lessons, and undoubtedly will learn many, many more before the season is over. It's not "punishment" for him to sit, more like "discipline" as in the original meaning of the word, i.e. instruction.

I just watched Juliens interview. So im a little more relaxed on the issue. Although I dont agree with it I can understand it now. But I think Seguin should be a part of any late game battle to get back into the game he has great speed to open up the ice.
All in all though the B's shoulda won that game Halak got Ha-lucky(thanks nh.com. With 4 posts bouncing out.

I guess you don't realize that Seguin is actually bigger than Krejci
Seguin 6' 1" 182 lbs
Krejci 6' 0" 177 lbs
I believe the turnovers had everything to do with the benching not how big the player is.

Huge Seguin fan, but I believe I saw 4 very errant passes - from Tyler to nobody. Having said that, punishment should be given where ever it is deserved. I think a couple of vets should have been sat tonight. Posted by BadHabitude
Growing pains he'll be fine at least Julien shortened the bench.

Despite 4 unecssary drop passes and a bad game overall Seguin got called on when the game was on the line in the shoot out and scored unlike the vets. That was a tremendous vote of confidence in the kid by Julien despite his poor performance and he delivered for the coach. Nice job by the coach, nice job by the kid. Seguin is being handled well.

Exactly ! Julien knows what he brings to the team and put him out in the SO. Good for him. Like some of you are saying above " it's part of the learning process " . The last straw was that back pass in his own zone and almost caused a counter with a scoring chance.
Look even Caron got benched and Thornton. Julien wanted to win and proves that he does shorten the bench when needed.
In the shootout I predicted Ryder to take the shoot out, it was one of his best games, aggressive, good back checking and layed on some big hits. He was skating hard and fast and deserved the SO try. He hit the post dead on and so did Bergy. Jut bad luck last night. There are nights the bounce go your way and nights they don't like last night.
