Wasn't really expecting this, but I guess I'm not too surprised. Therrien seemed to be too hard on Czerkawski and Audette. He'd bench them for poor production, then give them 5 minutes of ice time on the 4th line with the likes of Bill Lindsay and Sylvain Blouin and expect goals. Then when they obviously didn't produce, he'd bench them again. Let them play with Perrault or Gilmour and see if they can do something...

You're right. You can't put a player on the 4th line and give them 5 minutes (split into 20-second shifts) of ice time and expect them to produce much.

Gotta feel bad for Audette. Everything was good when he was in Atlanta (well, except winning games). It just didn't make any sense that Atlanta would trade Audette away. Now he's gone from top line player, averaging one point a game, to being benched frequently. *shakes head*
