Incorrect tho. Simon and Zar were elevated to play with carter after the penalty. Kap was playing with Heinen and carter after being demoted.
And who knows what his message is. That’s the issue. He only picks on certain players. He should be helping players figure out there game. Not demoting certain players for bad place while others can suck and have no consequences.
the issue is that he holds players to different standards and then people wonder when they struggle.
Shift chart on Natural Stat Trick shows Simon's shifts in the second period were all with Carter.
And... well, we don't know what his message is for sure, but we can try and deduce things.
Lets say you were the boss. And you benched Simon for that bad penalty, but not Sid for his bad penalties.
Some fan somewhere: "McCord's holding players to different standards! We don't know what he wants."
Some other fan: "Well the benchings mainly happen to players who don't score, so I think we know what he wants."
The same thing works.
You: "Sully's holding players to different standards. We don't know what he wants."
Me: "The benchings and demotions always happen to players with inconsistent effort levels and inattention to defensive duties who don't score an absolute ton, so I think we know what he wants."
And him tending to withhold ice time from the same players seems less like different standards for different people, but a standard for everyone that most of the roster meet and a few don't.
