That’s harsh, but I watched the game last night against the Sharks and Vinny wasn’t out there. He’s big, but I really think he will break if he plays too physical. When is the last time you saw him go to the net hard?
Thanks for the comment, Jared! It’s true. The numbers don’t lie! He’s getting the same dollars as Ovechkin and Crosby! Where’s the production? I am at every game and sometimes I don’t even realize that he’s on the ice! Keep reading and commenting!
