Mason Raymond, the 25 year old speedy winger as we know him coming off a career year . But theres a reason why they it call a career year after all he is no where near reaching the stats he once performed. This year he is flanked by Ryan Kesler who he himself is coming off HIS own career year scoring 36 goals and 28 assists for a total of 64 points, and Mikael Sammuelson who is also not performing to last years standards. That however is not the question on hand. It is no doubt canuck fans such as myself are unhappy with #21 and his progress this year, Raymond only has 2 goals in his last 20-25 games and a disappointing 12 goals and 21 assists yet nearly every night excluding last game, he starts on the 2nd line. Not scoring goals but falling to his feet, getting pounded, all speed no skill. He had a taste of fourth line duties last game because of the injury to Manny Malholtra but didn't do much better. So the question is, why is he playing at all? Every other player would be sitting in the press box, looking, learning. Isn't that what Raymond needs? A wake up call? I sure do, even if he is coming off a shoulder injury if he doesn't feel good why play at all? Nevertheless, the winger needs to step it up to the likes of Coach AV who claims that he will give no one a rest. Unless Raymond doesn't bring it come playoff time, il look forward to seeing him traded to another team.
