Haven't won a game without Sven in the lineup, we won't be winning this one tonight either.

The mismanagement of Backlund is also ridiculous.

Too many mixed signals coming from Hartley, different players with different leash lengths.

There is NO doubt that Backlund and Sven have shown more in less icetime and have made less mistakes then so many players that get 15-22 mins a night on this team.

The best part of all this is when they finally do play Backlund in a role where he gets quality minutes and when they do give Sven some good minutes and some PP time, people will act as though the reason behind their success was the continual benching of Sven and making Backlund play 4 minutes a night with scrubs.

In fact it will be because they were finally given an environment where they COULD succeed.

Meritocracy my ass.
