Classic case of under-performing players getting a pass while someone else pays the price. A group put together by the guy that just scape-goated the coach. Rutherford seems like a guy who has lost touch with the game and is unable to adjust to what it has become...and truth is its understandable.
Will be interesting to watch, moving forward, to see if these guys (particularly Crosby) are able to pick up their compete level at all.
