What is stepping up? If its not fighting or scoring a goal, I am not sure how easy it is to get noticed. Steady Eddies never step up their game yet get their chance.
Orlov's talents favor the offensive side more than the defensive, yet would not get a minute of PP time if he were here.
I just refuse to believe that he cannot play hockey anymore. George does not always know best in what I have seen. I have not seen Orlov falling on his face. All i saw was out for an injury, Oates moved his position, and in the NHL games he fared in most recently, looked just fine to me.
Listen, I would love to see Orlov in the lineup. But I refuse to believe Oates or McPhee have it out for the kid or something. He obviously isn't playing well enough to get into the lineup for one reason or another. Its up to him to dominate in Hershey and force an opportunity.
Which obviously has not happened yet.
