Apply the same standard to every player then...right? As in...always earned never given..its only fair.

Nothing to do with "canadian teams struggling".....this is about a very young guy who has more than likely hit a wall in first pro season....nothing more and nothing less. Sitting a period or 2 or even a game isnt going to hurt him and will probably light a fire under him like it ALREADY has this year.
