So Kolyachonok learned how to spell coaches name. He also learned to address him as "Supreme, Superior, Senior, #2 Ultra Coach".
And all of that, EK practices the shat the bed method. EK is the misfit player on the roster. Not his fault; blame JMKD for bringing him here and Sully for trying to reprogram a race horse into a farm work horse.
Incompetent Management under FSG.

He is probably back next game, for Kolyachonok, because you shouldn't play steady defense.. it ruins the image for EK, Gryz and Letang

Sully playing an almost 38 year old Letang 25 minutes and Koly a team low 11 minutes tells you exactly what Sullivan thinks about playing young players over veterans.

Pens played really well, but you knew what was coming at the end. No confidence anyone other than the first line can score.
Anyone notice Karlsson’s defensive game has dropped big time after the Pettersson trade. He actually seemed to be working things out in January before the trade. His pairing just doesn’t work but who would you pair him with?
