Disappointing end. I find that this seems to happen too often with our experienced European players. The team gave him a little push on the PP at the start of the year and he looked like he was getting chances - just a little snakebit. They didn't give him much of a shot beyond that I thought.
He was 3-2-5 in 22 games playing mostly 4th line minutes. Compare that with Lazar (2-0-2) in 19 games and I don't understand why Lazar ever is in the lineup over him. If you're looking at the third line - I thought he brought easily as much as Janmark (1-5-6 in 22 games) and Henrique (2-7-9 in 38 games). I won't even talk about Frederic. We're just married to these old grinders who do nothing well other than PK now.
I would absolutely have never played Max Jones over Tomasek too - still don't understand why he's the call-up and why he stayed up over Hutson.
The team is just stuck in this belief that the top-six is the only place to generate offence and the bottom-6 it's just a bonus, but mostly you just hope they don't get scored on. It's antiquated and it's helped to lose us the last two Stanley Cups.
