He was more noticeable tonight, and I did see him get some PK time. That’s good. Hopefully he continues to play hard; if he starts floating out there he won’t be doing himself any favours. I think that’s unlikely though.

Bottom line Sam has to play a certain way to be successful. People will often overlook shortcomings if the player puts in the effort. Sam needs to be more engaged.
Obviously he was not the only one lately with lack effort.
