I really don't get why great lengths need to be taken to ensure Jankowski is sheltered from any sort of critique? He's a first round pick. Anything short of a great second half this year would be a disappointment and hopefully based on his play of late he should be rounding into form.

As someone who was at that game and watched him intently the entire time it was certainly not a sign of poor play. People who look at stat sheets, particularly such basic stats as goals and assists, and think they say anything significant about how a player played are out to lunch.
Had there been an actual critique based upon watching a game then sure, critique away. Looking at a stat sheet doesn't give any basis to do that though.
