Clearly, it sends a message to Stalberg and the rest of the team: You're not entitled to anything. Anything you did in the past doesn't matter. Players that buy into their roles and want to do whatever it takes to make this team successful will play over guys crying because they're not getting PP time, especially those players in depth roles.
I mean seriously, complaining about a lack of PP time, in the playoffs, heading into round 2, when you contributed 2 assists to it all season? Really? Like I said earlier, be happy your on a winning team, with a chance to win a Cup and on a line that's been successful. Clearly, that's not enough for Stalberg.
Again, Bobby. Viktor Stalberg does not make or break the Blackhawks. Q's not scratching Kane, or Sharp, or Toews or Hossa. He's scratching Viktor Stalberg. Give me a freaking break.
As long as we win and Q returns to his senses and dresses him next game, but knowing Q he'll then have the excuse that he doesn't want to disrupt a winning formula. I'm not sure how VS is viewed by his teammates but I imagine this certainly doesn't help in their concentration ... and so much for team chemistry that was well established during the season. But who cares, right Q? Your position of authority is more important, right!!!
