...AND, while I'm on a rant, why does Coach Ruff favor Patrik Nemeth over Kevin Connauton so much? Yes, Nemeth is bigger and more physical but if you want someone crashing into guys, you have Roussel and Garbutt, and PS: you benched Roussel for getting too scrappy.
Nemeth seems to be hanging out in front of the net when we get scored on and has cost us a couple of goals taking penalties where most of the penalties Connauton got called on were BS calls. Connauton can jump up in the offensive rush as well as get back for defensive plays. Connauton is a really nice skater and he works like a dog, both in practice and in games.
Not sure what else Lindy is looking for from him when he says "he's just not there yet" and it's frustrating :/
