Watching Roussel plays hockey now is just painful. Not only is he slow and is basically an offensive blackhole, dragging down his whole line. His antics are also getting really tiresome. Ever since the Vegas series in the bubble, where he chirps and agitate, only to get rag dolled by Reaves. He tries to throw some hits but by the time he gets there the puck is long gone. He would ice-spray the other teams goalie or punch out an unsuspecting player (like Puljuarvi last game) which wakes up the other team and give them a reason to play harder. He is acting like Matthew Tkachuk but without even a fraction of the talent to back it up. He got blown up by a late-ish hit against the Jets and his linemates just skates away, he had to get up and fight his own battle. I'm sensing that his teammates are getting sick of seeing him getting clowned out there.
***Although to be fair, his teammates didn't do jack when Petey got injuried against the Panthers either, so maybe this team just have no push back, and not a reflection of their feeling for AR?
