I agree, it is kind of ridiculous, maybe it will light a fire under his butt for the rest of the season, oh wait, he has had red hot fire going all season already. Not much more the kid could have done. Feel a bit sorry for him and not only him but it happens every year and seems even more so this year.

Agree. Cristall obviously never had a chance. I find it weird given his (a) NHL preseason experience (b) legendary numbers. He wasn’t HC’s type and, really, never has been. They don’t like his fancypants style. They’d rather have other guys to hold the offensive load.

Canada has so many players that it’s hard to make room for everyone. But there is literally nothing else Cristall could have done.

I mean, his butt will spontaneously combust if this happens.

I keep thinking how much fun a Cristall - Heidt - Sennecke line(with Parekh behind them)would've been, but the no fun gang who runs TC insisted on grinders.

I know junior stats aren’t the end all be all but he still has 2.364 ppg in the WHL and it is a junior tournament at the end of the day. He’s like a walking goal created against like six or seven of the other teams playing.
