This is crazy to me. Every time Goldobin played Green had him in the top 6 & on the PP. He was given offensive opportunities everytime he played..
The reason he came out of the lineup is because he wasn't producing with the opportunities he was given. The door was WIDE OPEN for him this year.
I remember feeling like this about AV with Kassian. Kassian would play with the Twins for a few games, score a goal, then go back to third line. I understand how people feel & in my case, Kassian was never given the chances Goldy has been. Goldy has been given opportunities. This can't be painted in some way that he hasn't, because he absolutely has.
Goldy just hasn't been good enough plain & simple.
