I am not going to write about the bad call by the ref who cost the Hurricanes the game but that was the worst call at the worst time I have ever witnessed at a game.
Now lets talk about Zach Boychuk...what a disappointment! Drafted in 2008 and only played 2 games for the Canes in 08-09. The first time I noticed him was in the pre-season 2009-2010 and I remember thinking he seemed lazy and unprepared to play in the NHL. He did play 31 games that season and I didn't notice any improvement. The next season it seemed like he played with an expectation that he had already made the team and only played 23 games in the NHL. Now this year 16 games played and I think it is time we cut ties with this guy. Called up for the first time under Coach Muller and it only lasted 3 games. He gets pushed off the puck and gives up on plays. Tonight he only played 7 minutes and looked benched most of the 2nd and 3rd periods. As I am writing this Chip Alexander (who covers the Hurricanes for the News and Observer) tweeted he has been sent back to the AHL. I hope Muller saw what we all saw these last few games and he doesn't have a part in this team's future.
That being said I would not surprised if he gets a spot in another organization and comes back to haunt the Canes. He is still a young guy with some potential and I just think we have spent too much time, money and effort on this kid.
