Is Reichel in purgatory or something? He works hard on his shifts and sometimes digs the puck out but Maroon really is too slow to get to the puck. I have to say the kid hasn't shown any quit though. When given the opportunity he got an apple at the end.
I think he understands that with Smith out and Anderson in, he really can't expect his line to score so he better work hard on d or he'll be on a Kurashev +/- spiral leading to the dreaded scratch. All told I think he's handling the adversity well. At least they haven't put Kurashev on the fourth line with the way PK is playing!
