I realise that Raymond will never be a physical player, but he rarely uses his one assett which is his speed.

I have rarely seen him put his head down and hustle back into the defensive zone on the back check. For a few games when we saw him paired up with Shore on his line it was very obvious. Shore would bust his hump to get back while the "fast" Raymond would lethargically wander back.

Quite often he tends to do one of two things when he has the puck. He either telegraphs his pass to a teammate so obviously that Stevie Wonder could see it coming; or he throws the puck to a bad area of the ice at an alarmingly high percentage.

In response to the poster that has suggested being stuck with Colborne has worked against him I will counter with the comment that he has been given a far greater power play time than his play and results would suggest he deserves.

He is a classic case of where I struggle to see what the coaches do in his game. It bothers me because I love the majority of the decisions that Hartly makes and it makes me wonder what I am doing wrong that I can't see what Hartly is seeing.
