No matter who you are it's tough playing shorthanded. There were many times last night you could see that Kapanen didn't know where to go.I have an issue with the way people are treating the problems of the Kapanen-Tavares-Marner group as if it's all because Hyman being out and Kapanen that has replaced him to blame. That's completely unfair to Kasperi tbh. He hasn't been as good as he can be overall, he clearly can give more and is working through some adjustment on his off-wing, but let's be real here Tavares and Marner are 22 million of the 25 1/2 million on that line. They are paid to be elite level play drivers, not Kapanen. They are the ones not getting it done. Hanging this on Kapanen is scapegoating and even the coach got in on it last night during the press conference which is very disappointing to see him not have Kappy's back. Especially considering, I thought, Kapanen was excellent last night.
With Hyman they know what to expect, where he will be.
