Who played themselves out of the doghouse?

[eramosat]

We tend to require pretty good performances out of the players here. I myself have noticed many players play themselves into the doghouse after either promising starts or prospect honeymoons. But the other direction? That's much rarer.

To you, who has played themselves "the best" out of the doghouse?

Small sample size, but I guess Laughton.

There's no "doghouse," Hextall gets rid of anyone he doesn't like.

He's a great choice, there aren't any current Flyers who have done a better job turning around management opinion on his prospects for an NHL role. I think fan opinion agrees, his full season 2 years ago had little of the appreciation this one has so far delivered.

Maybe.

The whole Laughton line. Some people were really down on Raffl, and Leier was considered by most to be a career AHL'er.

Yeah, I get it.

I don't think Raffl never really had management's disdain...no doghouse for him. Having the "people's" disdain is simply part of being an NHL player, no-one escapes that criticism...and I expect he will just continue to perform at highest end of lower-skill NHL-ers filling in roles wherever they are asked to. I am sorry he has no points yet to show for his hard work and acceptance of his new role.

Leier never made it to the doghouse...this is his coming out party!
