You make a positive sound like a negative.
How dare they give him decent ice time and time on the PP to see what he's got. He should be on the 4th line getting 5-8 minutes a game, then we can criticise him for doing nothing and being useless despite not being given any chance to prove otherwise.
Stop with all this "hasn't earned" stuff. Glencross, Jones, Setoguchi, Svens recall, Diaz, Engelland. Have any of those players truly earned the ice time they were given tonight in previous games? Have any of them earned a start in the next game? No, but they will get it. You are taking the "always earned" quote way too literally and using it way too sporadically.
