Then the recent game where he just dropped his assignment (Chicago I think?). Anyways, the guy has a brutal October which is at this point forgivable, but has had some really untimely lapses since. Again, I generally think he is very good offensively but when I went to the Boston game and sat next to a Boston fan, he outlined their frustrations with him which pop up too often. Again, it's not the ceiling, it is the consistency that matters game in and game out
Then there is Brodie's sweet cough up to the hash marks last week

Think you're being way too harsh and dramatic.
We could say the same things of Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook based on just the games we saw Calgary play them this season. Great players (especially defenders) who play 20 to 25+ minutes are going to get burned from time to time.
Of all the things he said, I don't see that as an issue at all.
