Being scratched in the playoffs was likely not a knock on the player; NJ leaned on experience and key guys because the wanted to win. Kind of like D.Sutters refusal to play certain guys because he favored vets.
Conroy's comments that they felt this is a player ready to pop is a good indication they see more.
