I'm not 100% against him sitting for a game if necessary, but I'd be a lot more ok with it if he had been given a few more opportunities on the PP and OT, as I think those are the situations where a shifty guy like him could really shine and gain confidence. But I haven't really seen him being given those opportunities....zero OT time the last two games, and I can't recall him being on the PP much either.

It's too early to get Debbie-downer on this, but Hartley's coaching does tend to be good at sucking the confidence right out of the young kids.
