Willie's roster decisions are truly mind boggling to say the least. I mean, seriously... 2nd line being fed like 1:30 of every 2m PP, allowing sbieksa to stay together (though they were better today finally), and still letting vey go out against kopitar and friends....
but for me, the final straw was taking Kenins off of the Horvat line and putting Dorsett in his place. like ****ing seriously, man. you stubborn mustache, stop it.

So no news on richardson he came back was great in like 2 game if he come back will be set for playoffs
Its frustrating i get the vey disappointment he is in over his head many nights in the nhl even with low minutes he has been getting, but this team really needs richardson to play through pain for playoffs if they want to win a round, he is good on faceoffs and brings that 3rd line grit factor the team needs. He said back in January if it was playoffs he would play, and were almost here.
Maybe as someone pointed out hes concerned with another setback and then being injured during free agency and that possibly hurting his chances to get signed this summer by other teams, i really dont know.

Interesting that Botch reported that the organization is getting annoyed with the Richardson thing. I always thought it was them keeping him out but is this whole thing being controlled by Richardson himself? Is this a personal issue?
has dorsett not beem more than anyone expected? he brings it every night n he has mentored kassian and horvat. career best in points, fighting majors and leads us in sh goals. think the other guys respect him? tired of seein him trashed when vey and matthias accomplish nothing.

Bad News Benning
Fallin for Dahlin?
I think the agent might have something to do with this. Maybe trying to milk the canucks for a contract extension if they want him to play. Santo's injury last year cost him a multi year deal.
Foundational Player
Benning the Incompetent
Perhaps his agent is playing a role in his decision. Can't blame him though, I am sure he wants to play but to jeopardize his career at his age can't blame him of being overly cautious before returning to the ice.
He is a UFA at seasons end, hope he gets healthy because he is a decent bottom 6 centre/forward.

oh I know...I just think Cassels would be better built for the playoffs than Vey. I'd rather see someone from Utica but we don't have much in the way of centers down there.
It's the Peter principle at work.
Dorsett is the only player on the team whose good play gets him promoted to a position of maximum incompetence.
It's because it's WD hate, not Dorsett hate.
There's no reason for him to be playing over Kenins the way that line was playing. There's no reason for him ever to be on the pp, never a reason for him to be on the last minute trying to score a goal and really no reason to use him in the last minute to defend a lead.
He's a 4th liner. If used in his role, he's fine.

I think most people are content with Dorsett himself. I know I am. It doesn't mean he deserves the ice time he's getting, though, and that's what people are annoyed about. He's basically the perfect 4th line RW. If Willie D would just keep him there everyone would be happy. Like, what possible reason did Willie have to take Kenins off the Horvat line and put Dorsett on? It's mind blowing. As much as it sounds like a conspiracy, there really is no explanation other than favouritism.
It's also the inconsistency. Like Horvat has been brilliant for several stretches but it never earns him any PP time or shifts with Vrbata or something. Dorsett has a few good shifts and the next thing you know he's bumping someone else spot off another line.
Again though, he issu e isn't with Dorsett but his junior coach.

We all know how that worked out last time (goalie coming off an injury - getting thrown in cold in a critical playoff game where the other guy was playing pretty well).
Kenins could do himself a favor by burying one of the chances Horvat and Hansen keep creating.

i'm a little surprised that it is Dorsett being put in Kenins place and not Matthias. I'm fine with Kenins and Vey sitting late though.
