When will Sylvester learn? As a 18 year old, he should know by now to stop taking stupid penalties. I understand that it must be hard to sit on the bench all game and when he gets a shift he wants to go hard. But he always seems to take a stupid penalty when he gets a shift. Perhaps the refs know his reputation and watch him like a hawk? Maybe. The crosscheck in round one against a Giant after the whistle and the doubleminor last night are examples of Gary not thinking. In fact, Gary has taken some dumb penalties since becoming a Rocket.
I really feel for him because he has some pretty good skill to take a regular shift. He can skate pretty well, has a few moves, can hit and has a nice slapshot. But for Gary, it's his mental game that needs work.
After his double minor last night (even though seattle didn't score), I think he will be sat out on Thursday and perhaps longer.
I think in the offseason, Mr. Hamilton will have to decide if Gary is an asset or a liability. It's a tough call.
