So the Leafs and Caps failed to win the Cup because of Kessel and Ovie?
Where are you making the leap that Nino has a bad attitude, is antagonistic, arrogant, or lazy?
no one is leaping anywhere. the original response was directed at the notion that on ice performance is the only consideration. i have no idea why you brought up Kessel and Ovie. I've already said over and over in many threads Nino has a good attitude, and was praised for such by the coach (who is according to a lot of people here abusing and misusing him. )
On ice performance is absolutely NOT the only consideration. Obviously, the more skill you're dealing with the more you're willing to overlook other things for that player. Nino has demonstrated nowhere near the skill it would take for a promotion to heavier minutes to be automatic if they still don't think he's up to speed as far as team philosophy goes.
