the problem a lot of fans have isn't that "Kobasew is going to "skate a few shifts on Crosby's line" (not sure how you can say a few shifts since he's practicing there and the game hasn't been played)"
but because a handful of us believe there is something wrong with the way this team is run, and those issues have been at least partly responsible with the post-season disappointments.
And if the regular season is your preparation for the playoffs, Bylsma is showing no signs of changing his ways. He can't even break his reliance of useless plugs like Chuck Kobasew with a nearly insurmountable lead in the division and a very comfortable lead in the conference.
The lineup, with the Bennett injury, isn't ideal, but Bylsma has better options than Chuck Kobasew, who, if his name were Simon Despres, Beau Bennett, or Jayson Megna, would be a permanent fixture on either WBS' roster or the roster of whichever team claimed him, but Chuck Kobasew, he of 2 pts in 25 games, and no real positives outside of his veteran status, is the 1st-line fill-in.
