Hah so playing rookies for more than 10 minutes is rushing them? I guess McCann's goals were both "junior goals" then. If anyone is being selfish it's you with the instant gratification you clearly need form this team. I am willing to sit through some tough years if it helps us get a cup. You sound like an investor that needs this team's value to rise in the short term.
And yes, McCann has been better than the two face punchers. He score goals, which crazily win you hockey games.
They aren't ready, they shouldn't even be here anymore. They will be because 9 games in the NHL is always nice but really they should be in junior just like Dal Colle, Perlini, Sanheim. They aren't entitled to these spots and 10 minutes is enough to judge if they are ready or not. They clearly aren't, they don't know the pro game and chase the puck too much. We're trying to win, Willie isn't going to cheat the veterans to play the rookies who aren't ready. That will become a bigger problem in the locker room.
I don't actually think you watched the game tonight, you realize other than one McCann pass, they were stuck in their own zone the whole time right? Prust and Dorsett were better, that's it. I can't believe that people like you all of a sudden think this spot was there from the start, they are our worst players defensively, and cheat offensively.
I'm also not saying Prust and Dorsett should be playing on the 3rd line but right now they are forced to because 3 players aren't ready for spots on this team. I also don't get what you mean by tough years, McCann and Virtanen aren't all of a sudden going to become stars and leaders on our team. Horvat was a rare case and you can see he is struggling now, I still think Horvat will be a really good player for us though.
