I don't care if he feels he needs to watch the game from the bleachers, he needs to play - and by all accounts, he's played well. Scratch him for who? The list isn't very long of guys you can sub in anyway.
If a guy needs to be scratched because he's not doing things "the right way", then they get scratched. No one is entitled to play every game. If Luke Richardson thinks a guy needs to be healthy scratched, that's good enough for me. The worst lesson to teach these kids would be that they get to play all the time regardless of their effort.
I prefer that approach to the "free pass to the NHL" approach.
Speaking of free passes, Lazar had what I thought was a very good game.
Just mentioned that on the other thread. He had a nice scoring chance where he got to the net and almost got it in. It was well executed.
He reminds me of a toung foligno at times in how he almost gets close to scoring and cant finalize his plays. I thought foligno would be a third liner. Maybe lazar can prove to do the same.
He was a sparkplug out there. That's what I hope to see from him. If he can be that player fairly consistently and build from there, he'll be fine.
I'm starting to see Lazar as Jesse Winchester 2.0 without the concussions (hopefully).
more to come
Remember when, in pre-season, they said Winch would ride shotgun alongside Spezza? Good times.
