I had high hopes that this time it would be easier to integrate him into the lineup but right now he is forcing it. Terrible shot selection combined with some really questionable passes. The airball with 10s left on the clock was bad but personally I think the offensive goaltending was even worse.
I might be crazy trying to read into things, but it sure feels to me like KP might be "pouting" a little but about being a floor spacer and not the guy setting picks. I felt like I saw it last year when he played with DP. Feel like I am seeing it now playing with WCS. Maybe KP is the one pushing to be the only big but RC is trying to get him to see that the team is better with him as the second big. Who knows, but it is really disappointing how bad and out of sorts he looks in his role these first two games. Just chucking anytime he can get the ball.
I also thought these words almost felt like a shot at the coaching staff:

Seems like something is off, but maybe I am reading too much into things. But regardless, his integration has been disappointing through two games.
