Enough of the backstabbing!
Before his first slump in Montreal, for some he was the next Messiah now some of you are treating him like Judas.
After leaving Winnipeg Patrik has not played a single shift with a bonafide top 6 center, yes he is not a play driver and turns over the puck and needs someone to brake up the play in the D zone and carry the puck into the O-zone. How can a player like him produce 5v5 if the center looses most of their draws and he is constantly chasing the play?Despite this fact and playing on one leg , Patrik is close to leading the league in PP goals you continue to sh*it on him!?
He informed Columbus GM Kekaläinen that he wants to quit hockey altogether aftrer his father died and the resulting depression, but was persuaded to continue .
Despite all of this he is playing and producing, give him a break!!!
Montreal would not be in even close to being in the mix without Patty and that is a fact.
If he fails to produce despite being healthy and having a whole offseason to train and finally gets to play with a REAL top 6 center, then by all means keep piling on the crap.
