“I didn’t like his play,” Nolan said bluntly. “For him to play at this level, especially with that much skill, he has to bring a little bit more than what he had. You don’t really want to sit back and hope for things to work. You’ve got to make them work like everybody else. I just felt his play on certain parts was very lackadaisical. Didn’t have any energy or urgency in his game whatsoever.”
Isn't this at least as harsh as Burke's comments about Baertschi? At least Burke specified some areas to work on, and didn't just say "lazy".
And didn't someone say no other team does that, or something to that effect?
