At least Repik should be able to get a nice little vacation this summer with his frequent flyer miles. I still don’t understand why he isn’t given a shot at more ice time… I know we’re paying Kreps, Campbell, Tarnasky and Co. more money, but why not healthy scratch them the final 10-15 games and let Repik get an honest chance instead of just 4 minutes a game 3 or 4 times a month…

Repik is one of our best offensive players, certainly better than most of our veterans. Every time he’s sent down and replaced by someone who brings less to the team, what games are Sexton watching?

Could it be a size issue? He’s listed at a mere 5’10" – 180

Anyway, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. :)

I heard this on a TV broadcast when I was growing up and I think it’s applicable here:

“You know how it is. They call a player up from the minors, sit him on the end of the bench for 4 or 5 games, then the coach takes him aside and says “sorry- but you haven’t been putting up any points and we have to send you back to the minors.”"
