I have a hard time believing that Sutter told him not to jump up once and awhile, but I do believe that his teammates underused him big time.

having basically zero forwards with playmaking/creative ability didn't help much...
however, bouwmeester's decisions on the point were ridiculous. Never shot, always double pumped, missed the net, aimed to miss going for a tip rather than trying to make the goalie save it with traffic infront.
i didn't see a whole lot of offensive prowess from him. Gio on the otherhand, was a major bright spot that way.
