In the post-game press conference Shawn Walsh addressed the Brendan Walsh
issue and basically said that they have discussed his role and how he was
hurting the team, indicated they would speak of it more and also basically
said (and I am paraphrasing here) he won't play if he keeps it up.
 
This is consistent with what Shawn Walsh has said all along on Brendan
since the moment he brought him in.
 
I also spoke with Brendan after the game and asked him about the penalties
and he too recognizes the situation and really wants to rectify it.
 
Brendan had three points on the weekend while centering Maine's second
line.  So he is playing a large role, but just think how much larger a role
that could be if he stayed out of the box!
 
In his defense though, the first three games he did stay out of the box
pretty well.  We'll see what happens when league play starts.
