I had absolutely nothing for or against the player until 4 years ago, when 95% of CP named him the prodigal son.
-There has never been a season
-There hasn't been a month
-There hasn't even been back to back games?
Where you could honestly find glimpses of true hope for the future from him. It's not your fault, the flames hadn't had a drafted forward to think about in over a decade prior - he was hope and need (all in 1).
Every game he plays now, it starts with being pointless (tonight was a rarity), a large negative ration on FOW vs. FOL. 10 minutes of ice time and generally a -1 rating.
He's on pace for 7 goals and 26 points, but this only galvanizes the apologists, who are sure he's hard done by..
1) He's our 4th Centre because there are 3 that are better above him (That speaks volumes on a rebuilding team???)
2) He's not producing because he's not a scorer or playmaker
3) He doesn't bring physicality, but still gets injured.
As said, if he's your PK specialist....he has to be able to win a faceoff.
