Todd Brost doesn't hesitate to armchair coach the Generals:
If [Hovan]'s going to be their go-to guy because of injuries and that conference call today that made Forest ineligible, I question that decision of leaving him in to hurt it further. The stress on a goaltenders' legs and knees and groins in a shootout -- when you're backing up and a guy's coming at you five times in a row -- is phenomenal.
Translation: "I think the Flint coach is dumb, and doesn't care about his player's health."
Now, as it happens, the Gens hope to scare up another goalie, but since their playoff seeding was locked in, why not play the emergency back-up college kid?
