My concern is that when he was benched last year for 1 game, I think,

maybe 2, he publicly muttered that the coach should have benched Malakhov

instead. That type of attitude is disturbing.

By the way, the last few days, he has been criticizing his forwards, as a

whole, again in the media. Comments like that should stay in the

dressing room. By the way, guess if the media likes his nomination?
