Buffalo News’s Gleason on Yashin
April 17th, 2007 by Tom
Tough column on Alexei Yashin in today’s Buffalo News by writer Bucky Gleason. Tough but accurate. The truth hurts. Check out Gleason’s column here. In the meantime, here’s a sampling:
The Buffalo Sabres’ 3-2 victory over the Islanders in Game Three was just the latest stage in which Yashin would disappear, this time at home. The Isles could very well be leading the best-of-seven series if they were getting anything from their highest-paid player and captain.
“I don’t want to talk about that,” Yashin said in monotone after the game. “It’s not about me. I tried to do the best with the ice time that I had. I will continue to do that and help wherever I can to help the team win the next game.”
Well, it should be about him.
