What basically happened was Leclerc, after the play off match up vs the Hitmen where he was a beast, was labeles a bust. Can't say if it was burn out, poor development or team team in front of him, likely it was a combination of all three, but he was never able to replicate his play from his 16 yr old season and I believe ended his jr career in Tier 2. Splitting duties with Sittler will not do anything to harm Skinner's long term development and success of the Hurricanes which should be the goal given this season is a write off.
Really Derek? Players need to be coached well and they need to play to get better! Coaching is huge! #3 saved Skins ass all night as did #6, finally the forward players got involved in some defence at a marginal level...the coaching message needs to be "good enough is not enough, only your very best will do" cannot give your very best? Have a seat...
