It's pretty undeniable that Luke Schenn should be getting more minutes then him. It's beyond me why they're giving him so much playing time but let's not pretend like we're all just ignoring the bad play of everyone else and picking on Meszaros. Everybody has acknowledged almost everyone is playing badly. The difference with Meszaros is that he's consistently bad yet gets major ice-time over guys that deserve it more.
A key reason why Mez is getting the ice time is because of the power play. I'm not saying Mez should be getting top billing by any means, I just can't stand people acting like the coaches are buffoons that can't properly evaluate a situation. Mez is playing as well as the rest of the defense for the most part. Sure there are times when he is playing worse, but that goes for the rest of the defense as well.
You're acting like coaches can't make mistakes in regards to lineup decisions nor ice-time. If that were true they wouldn't be human nor would Jay Rosehill exist in this lineup.
They certainly can, I just don't think Mez is a mistake. I think singling him out over the rest of the defense is the mistake. If Mez isn't getting those minutes, who is? Someone else who is playing like crap? Six of one half dozen of the other.
