How many times am i gonna have to watch Seth Jones pass up an opportunity to pass it to a wide open 98?!?!?
I have to say, it almost....or maybe really is true....that Seth plays as if he is envious of CB's attention and doesn't want him to get greater glory. I know it's juvenile thinking, but he HAS to know CB can do more with the puck than anyone else. Is that wrong to even think that? Sorry if so, but wow, it seems to happen a lot.

Bertuzzi has good metrics, right? Play him with Bedard and Reichel to shore up their possession stats, and make sure Reichel gets some of the zone entries (especially of the north/south variety) so Bedard and his line isn't as predictable.

Whatever it is....i hope Bedard says something. I hope the team is aware of this and does something about it. That loser is messing with our young franchise superstar and i want him GONE. PERMANENTLY.

I think it just happens naturally. Seth Jones is given a lot of space due to bedards presence nearby so he fires a shot. It’s actually a good idea to shoot he just doesn’t hardly ever execute.

Its a better idea to pass to 98 and let him be the primary playmaker. Especially when your offensive instincts suck. Whenever Seth decides to shoot it or take over the play himself nothing good EVER happens. Its just wasted opportunities for Bedard to work his magic.

Jones putting it on net is fine. Bodies in front and the puck got through.

Not when Bedard is wide open, that's the much better option than forcing the puck on net and hoping for a bounce. Bedard never touched it again. Stars got their 3rd goal and that was all she wrote. Why not give it to 98 when he's open and let him try and create?

You guys are really reaching on the Seth hatred. He gives it to Bedard they immediately challenge him because he's the one guy you can't give space and he gives it back to Seth.
It’s not just that. He was dogshit all game. Fumbling the puck, giving it away, out of position. For a guy who sone here claim to be a borderline #1, he just does nothing well.

Its so much more than just this one play tonight though i see it all the time. And its easier to get frustrated in Seth's case because this is just one of many boneheaded things i see from him, and he's being paid a lot and handed a big role on the team. Most importantly i just wish he would get the puck to Bedard at all costs, whenever possible. Its just like that one episode of Hey, Arnold! when Arnold joined the school basketball team and needed a constant reminder to pass the ball to the coach's son, Tucker. Bedard is our Tucker. And Seth Jones needs to realize he's just Arnold.
