Come on man. Who on earth would suggest that?
My point is that if someone wants to bitch about Pasta’s shortcomings then their expectations are silly.
If Pasta isn’t good enough for you as is, you ask too much.
Of course you can always you can just hold your breath for a decade or 5 for another Bobby Orr or Sidney Crosby type to walk through the door.
Thanks Dom. You read my post exactly how I intended.
Apologies if I misread your post.
But the shortcomings in Pasta's game are things that can be improved on. Many young, offensively gifted players (Crosby included) improved their defensive game. They also learned to cut down on risky offensive plays to enhance their game. Pasta is in his 11th season and has not seemed to even try rounding out his game.
That said, perhaps you are right. At this stage maybe we shouldn't expect any improvement. It's OK if he's only good for scoring game winning goals.
